Po

a couple of posts ago i talked about how great blogging's been for meeting new people and  marking   MAKING new friends (even if things have to stay platonic).   but what i didn't realize was how it would put me in contact with old friends too.

tomoko and i have known each other for probably around 10+ years or so.  we met through her husband, jude, who she had met through work, which is where i had met him close to 10 years earlier.  yeah it's been that long.  anyway, time goes by and for no other reason except that life takes over , we'd lost touch.   and jude's not real good with returning phone calls.  but we know this about him.  and we accept it as god's will.  anyway ....

so back to tomoko ... so one day last month, i'm surfing the blogs and clicking away in etsy shops  just looking at all of the prettty shiny things, and end up here at TADworks.   and i look at the thumbnail photo and think, "HOLY CRAP!  THAT LOOKS LIKE TOMOKO!!"    and then i read on, and see that this person who looks exactly like my friend tomoko has a blog.  so i check it out.  and sure enough, IT IS TOMOKO!!!   

so i go back to her shop and check it out.  HOLY CRAP!!!  tomoko makes the most adorable little "desktop companions" that she calls "po."    normally you don't hear words like "delightful" come out of my mouth unless i'm being sarcastic, but when i tell you that her po are a delight, i'm not making fun or channeling will ferrel parodying  james lipton.  they really are the cutest little things ever.  and yes, it's one po, many po.  like sheep.

so i quickly ordered one. 

look how cute he is on his banana phone!  and then i thought, i need  knitting po.  so i contacted tomoko again, and look what she made.

SHE MADE ME A YARN PO!!!  (so close to yarn po(rn)).  want to see a whole bunch of yarn po that are photographed much better?  click  here.   each of her po come beautifully packaged and are all signed and numbered .  her attention to detail has always amazed me.  she is so very clever.

she's not all about the po though.  (hee hee)  she also makes these cute little knitted taddies.  they kind of look like yarn pacmen to me.  and her featherweight frames are beautiful.  again, everything is wonderfully packaged. 

anyway, i think you need to go to her shop and spend lots of money.    go on... go. 

and this time, i'm not relying on jude to return any phone calls.  now we have blogs to help us stay in touch.
