Q-pot Jewelry

I never knew Q-pot in Japan primarily made jewelry! I always thought they made cell phone charms. Totally innovative and adorable jewelry. I need to be making things like this! Q-pot!

If only I could be as cool..

I would have fun music days such as this one.

My Crafty Wedding Obsession...

Photography by Brookelyn Photography

As many of you know, I am determined to hand make 90% of my wedding (whenever I get married). Martha Stewart always showcases the most beautiful weddings-- and I am always gathering ideas from her... but I just discovered this blog: Once Wed.

The site is filled with wonderful D.I.Y ideas, beautiful wedding photography, and the most charming handmade weddings. You need to check out this awesome escort card idea! Which would fit perfectly in my dream wedding!


For my friends who are thinking of tying the knot (possibly next year, you know who you are!)-- i REALLY recommend this!


PS: Mom & Dad, do not get any ideas that I am engaged.

Eric & Sushma

Ahhh... finally finished arts & crafts week. I made a little elephant for Eric and Sushma. It was supposed to have their names on his side, but I am too tried and unskilled to hand cut fancy letting out.

Portrait No. 4! Finally done!

Now to get Eric's wedding gift started/finished...

Portrait No. 3 -- one more to go + 2!

Just finished Steph's portrait. Not my best one, but I'm glad it's done.
I have a feeling I'm sick! And this is not good for my all-nighter. I suppose I will have to work on Eric's gift Thursday night.

BTW-- I'm watching purple rain for the first time... and I didn't realize it was THIS cheezy...

A dogs life!

I wish I was living this dog's life...
