Hi, my name is…..Hine [hee-neh] Mizushima

When I was a kid… I loved drawing, coloring, playing with paper dolls and collecting girls Manga notebooks.

Today… I still really love colors, paper, making felt dolls, and I am obsessed with buying pretty notebooks and paper products.

When I’m stuck on a project… I let it sit, wait, eat my favorite food, read a book, surf the Web and then try again. If it doesn’t work, I panic!

I want to learn… multi-color screen printing and pottery.

Wonderful designs and art, yummy food and my family …make me happy!

I moved a lot internationally, so I don’t have anything I made as a kid with me now (those things are at my mom’s house in Japan), but here is a picture of some notebooks, a paper doll, and a coloring set which I always loved when I was a little girl. I also included a photo of me with a (fake) “Here come the 123s” album. I worked on a video for a song from that album for They Might Be Giants. I also attached a still from a recent stop-motion video for my Camera camera cases, which I sell on my Etsy shop.

This is my recipe for….. Spaghetti Carbonara! I learned the recipe when I was living in Rome. It’s easy to make and yummy, but eat some vegetables with it too!
you need:

Spaghetti

Some eggs (you are supposed to use only the yolk, but I use some whites too)

Some slices of bacons

Chopped onions

Chopped garlic

Parmesan cheese

Olive oil

Salt & pepper

(Contrary to what you might think from visiting American restaurants, you don’t need cream.)

Cook the sliced bacon until it is crunchy, then crumble it . Saute the onions and garlic with olive oil until they are soft and brown. Cook the spaghetti (al dente!) and drain it. Mix eggs, bacon, onions & garlic, Parmesan cheese, olive oil and salt & pepper into the spaghetti immediately. Voila! Bon Appetit!
