Party Time

I've been busy making party hats for the Beehive and the Pickled Hutch. I love making them. How could you not have a good time making something as fun as party hats? When I went to Laku to take pictures of the store, I was talking to Yaeko, telling her how much I loved the stuffed animals she makes. I was picking them up, saying how cute they were, and she giggled and said, "oh, they are so cute!" as if she were seeing them for the first time and almost as if she were looking at something someone else had made. It was interesting to me to see her have that kind of reaction to something she made herself because I feel the same way sometimes. When I step back, and when I get the chance to watch someone else looking at something I made, my perspective sometimes shifts, and I see what I've made in a fresh way.
