I went out for lunch today and found this cute chopstick wrapper at the Chinese restaurant I visited:

I really like the design, and would like to use it somehow. I’ll have to think about that a bit more.

After lunch, I stopped by a Korean stationery store called Morning Glory, and happened upon some mini cross-stitch kits. They were mainly keychains and phone charms, but they provided all the supplies and various patterns to give you a few options. I found this really cute one that I wanted to buy, but the actual fabric for the charm was missing, and it didn’t seem worth $5 without it.

Though I didn’t buy the set, it did remind me that I found a Korean cross-stitch community awhile ago, and there were some cute patterns there. Unfortunately, the site was pretty outdated, with the forum closed down a few years ago from what I remember. I can’t find the link at the moment, but I’ll dig around in my files and see if I can find it again.

Thanks to Rebecca for sharing some cross-stitch links. I especially liked the Asian designs on one of the sites, and the Sanrio one has been a favorite of mine for awhile.
