March 28, 2011

Remember I told you that Vogue Japan contacted us about our campaign to collect handmade toys for the children supported by The Mirabel Foundation? Well…. It really did happen! And here it is!!! Wowee!! Vogue and Mirabel got together to produce this really cute video, featuring lots of the softies that you guys made! Thank YOU!

A big huge thank you to Vogue Japan! AND above all thank you to Mirabel for the important and amazing work they do. You are amazing people. AND thanks you guys for supporting Softies for Mirabel! I feel so proud that we started something that has become so big! And useful! Did your softie make it to this video?! Can you translate Japanese?! What do you think of the video?!
Softies for Mirabel will be on again later this year (our fifth year!)
Watch the blog for details! We have big plans for the best year ever! Start making now, I say! You can head to The Mirabel Foundation to find out ways to contribute to the work they do right now!

    I'm pretty sure that's my purple guy. They must've just altered the mouth. That's so cool.

    Wow, my knitted knitty is in the video! What a hoot – that has made my day (my husband thinks it's the coolest that it's in there).
