I was in Chapters bookstore yesterday and I thought I’d check out the latest issue of A Needle Pulling Thread magazine:

A Needle Pulling Thread

As I flipped through, the Editor’s letter page caught my eye.

It’s meee! Wearing my PlanetJune T-shirt at the spring Creativ Festival! What a nice surprise, although I have to say it’s pretty surreal to see my own face smiling back from inside a magazine…

Thank you, Carla and John, for featuring me in your designers’ gallery 🙂

origami x-wing

As a lifelong Star Wars fan, when I saw the instructions for an X-wing origami model [via @avgjanecrafter on Twitter] yesterday, I just couldn’t resist trying one!

Pictured above is my attempt, using a 6″ square of silvery grey origami paper. It was all pretty easy until the last step – folding up the 4 wing tips (I can never get this part looking neat with origami cranes either – it’s just too thin!). Still, I think it looks pretty cool.
