Site of the week: Maki Squarepatch
Oh Maki Squarepatch, how do I love you? Let me count the ways: 1. You make cute stuff, darn tootin! And so much of it! How do you have time to make such a wide array of greatness? 2. All the stuff you make is made from recycled materials. That's awesome! You can really make goods that are that cute just from scrap fabric and a little ingenuity? I applaud you! 3. Your shop is named after your cat. You had me at hello, Maki Squarepatch. You had me at hello. 4. You're based in Singapore. That seems to be the hotbed of some wonderful new up and coming designers that I've discovered recently- go Singapore, go! 5. Everything you make is unique and one-of-a-kind making it all the more special!
Take these little zip pouches for instance: 
Or these incredibly adorable bags and purses:
And some friendly things that will help make your house a home:

Love those dolls or monsters, don't know how to call them . So unique and full of fun!
