Youz guys! I’m so excited that our new collaboration with Sanrio, “Hello Kitty by Twinkie Chan” is now available for purchase at Yummy You!

Some of you may recognize these scarves from Sanrio’s 50th Anniversary art show. We have the same two styles available now. One has 5-characters on cupcakes, and the other has 14 different characters. I should take a photo of the 14-character one stretched out so you can see more of the characters. I kinda blanked on that one!

Ever since I made the originals for the Sanrio party, people have been messaging me, asking me to make one for them, too, so I hope you guys are excited that we produced these via Yummy You!

Do you have a favorite Sanrio character? Mine are Purin and Pandapple!

I got some tiny nail polish brushes from Daiso a few months ago and never tried them out.

I have finally concluded that my problem is not lack of tools, just lack of skill! I am terrible at nail art! I’m messy, sloppy, have no control over what I’m doing. It’s just not in my blood. It’s a good thing I never tried to be a surgeon. I may try acrylic paint instead of nail polish for my next nail doodles, but I dunno, I am not gonna assume that anything can save me!

Also, I forgot that I shouldn’t paint my nails a light color right after getting my hair dyed. Now I have the dreaded PINK STAIN.

Here is the outfit I (sorta) wore yesterday to shoot the jelly bean scarf. I ended up putting on black leggings and my trusty black cowboy boots because I forgot that I hadn’t shaved my legs and couldn’t leave the house in knee-highs!

I also failed to notice that the little flappy thing on top of the bib of the overalls kept sticking out. I am proud to continue my tradition of worst outfit-blogger ever.

I have been really obsessed with getting an overalls-skirt for a while now. I’ve been window shopping on Etsy, but I never find anything that I like that will fit my hips. I have a pair of stripey Osh Kosh overalls that I want to turn into a skirt, but, obviously, that project hasn’t happened yet. So when I saw these overalls on Urban Outfitters, I just kinda went for it. It’s a super easy DIY if you already have overalls, but sometimes I just gotta take it easy on myself with timesuck vs DIY and just buy the darn things. AND I LOVE THEM!

Overalls: Urban Outfitters, Shirt: Forever 21, Socks: Sock Dreams, Shoes: bought them for Halloween on Amazon

I added a ready-to-ship Jelly Bean Scarf to my Etsy shop!

Remember also that the pattern is available for free at Michaels.com.

There was a small booboo in the pattern at Michaels. Round 5 is as follows, with the correct change made in red font.

Rnd 5: Ch 2 (counts as your 1st hdc) and hdc in same st. Work 9 hdc evenly across. [2 hdc in next st, 1 hdc in next 3 sts] 5 times. 2 hdc in next st, 1 hdc, 1 sc, 6 sl st, 1 sc each in next 3 sts, hdc, [2 hdc in next st, 1 hdc in next 3 sts] 2 times. 1 hdc in last st. (60) Break off leaving 18″ of yarn for sewing.

I  must admit: I kinda love these!

They are removable and washable vegetable cozies for ball point pens!! They make the cutest desk display. Just fill up a small flower pot or a mason jar full of beans or pebbles and throw in some veggie pens! Now available in my Etsy shop!
