Claire  of Miso Funky and Marceline of Asking For Trouble are the duo behind Super Cute Kawaii. They launched the site a year ago and have been celebrating with a week of giveaways and general excitingness on the blog.  It all reached boiling point on Friday with news that they have teamed up with Shopify to give three lucky people a free online shop for a year! Yes, a whole year!

The competition closes this Sunday at Midnight GMT so head on over to the site now for all the info.

Momiji [‘mom-ee-jee’] are currently running a contest challenging designers and creative folks to create a fabric Momiji doll. The ten finalists will be exhibited at Royal/T in glam Los Angeles with the winning entry also featuring in textile bible Selvedge.  Some of the mafia members will be entering and we’ll be sure to keep the blog updated with their progress!

The Shortlist:

Bobbin
Clyde
Don
Frank
Horsey
Marmaduke
Maurice
Wee Jock McPlop
Wiseguy

If you see your suggestion there, good luck! The winner will be announced here on the 31st.
