As I posted before, I won Penny Arcade’s Katamari Forever contest. After I gave my address to Jeff at Penny Arcade, I couldn’t wait to see the awesome Noby Noby Boy scarf.
I received my package on December 28th. I can’t explain how excited I was. I hurriedly opened the box and I carefully opened the bubble wrapped scarf. The first I thought “Oh my god it looks even more awesome than I could ever imagine!!” I looked for the head… but I couldn’t find one.
Aw how cute his... butt looks... (It does look cute, though. ) *I didn't make this scarf! Scroll down for my Noby Noby Boy plush.*
That’s right, they sent me the tail end of the scarf by mistake. I was just… very sad, thinking “I knew it! I thought it was too good to be true. Maybe I didn’t deserve it…” in my head and I had pretty much given up.
Katamari prince: "Did you see the head?" (Those little plush dolls were sewn onto the scarf by the way) *I didn't make this scarf! Scroll down for my Noby Noby Boy plush.*
I sent an email to Jeff at Penny Arcade. He wrote me back right away, explaining that he had given the addresses to Bandai Namco, and they were the ones who shipped the stuff. He was very understanding, apologetic, and sympathized with my situation. He contacted Bandai Namco (and probably the person who won the second prize) and made an arrangement. Bandai Namco would send me and the other person a pre-paid FeDEX label, so I could ship the scarf back and get the head end of the scarf.
The scarf was knitted beautifully. It was hard to say "good-bye." *I didn't make this scarf! Scroll down for my Noby Noby Boy plush.*
I was pleasantly surprised that the other person had agreed to do this. The honesty of this Katamari fan made me really happy. (Well, I haven’t received the head end but… I’m optimistic!) When I got a pre-paid label, I realized that it was going to be directly shipped to the second prize winner. So I decided to make a little thank you gift for her.

I had a day off last Friday to get ready for a birthday party the following day. It was for an adorable 3 year-old boy of our close friends. I had a whole day to make Totoro cream puffs and chocolate covered Domo-kun marshmallows. I didn’t have to wake up early, but for some reason I got up very very early. So I decided to take this opportunity
to make a kyaraben! But I hadn’t made kyaraben in a while, so I wanted to ease myself into making kyaraben. I thought about making Totoro, but I wanted to try making something different… “Simple but different” gave me this idea.

Most my bento have been Studio Ghibli themed since I started making bento, and I wanted to make something different.
My boyfriend and I love video games. We each own a PS2, an xbox360, an wii, and a DS lite. So I decided to make a video game themed kyaraben for a change.
I looked at his video game collection and found a game we both have and love. And it was Katamari Damacy!
