We went out with some friends tonight to celebrate “Life” as Manda told our server.

Our friend Ehren got in a motorcycle accident and busted his shoulder, so Manda and I decided to take him to dinner! And some of our other dude pals came, too, which is cool, cuz we don’t see them very often.

We had enough people to order TONS of food at Bucca di Beppo AND dessert. We never get to order dessert cuz we are always so stuffed. EXCITINGGGGG!!!!

In the midst of powering out more samples for Yummy You, I took a bit of a crochet break today to start sketching colors and ideas for my next crochet painting! My buddy Marissa is commissioning a project from me for her baby-to-be’s room! She told me what her baby’s name will probably be, and I picked a pea theme. She also mentioned she loves bunnies, so I thought hey, why not smash them together? The bunnies will be a little bit 3D so the outer edge of the pea pod will be draped over them like a blanky.

I started sketching this out to determine shapes, placement, colors, eyes open or eyes, closed, and this gif sort of came together. So sorry for the really crappy renderings… hehe… they were originally only meant for me to use as a reference for the crochet! Touchpad love.

I added these cozies to the Etsy shop! And also some more cheeseburger fingerless mitts!

Go check ’em out!

Also my my crochet painting is still available online from JapanLA if you were looking for something sweet to decorate your wall!

I did! At WarbyParker you can try on some glasses virtually by uploading a pic of your face, or you can have 5 frames sent to your house for freeeee to try on, which I did. Pretty cool! Check ’em out!!

Sorry the audio is not synced well with the video. I guess that’s what you get for using Photobooth sometimes!

p.s. thanks to Vivs and another blogger who I think mostly blogs privately for mentioning where they got their cute glasses!

Soo I’ve been idly looking for rugs since we moved into this house. Our living room walls are limey pea green, and so are our rugs!!! TOO. MUCH. GREEN. And a big brown couch. I am super over the lime-green/brown thing you see all over CB2. So I am looking for a rug to bring in new colors in order to buy new throw pillows and stuff to broaden the color palette of the room.

Here are last night’s pickin’s. Hairy has his favorite. I have mine. They do not match. Hahaha. To be continued!

And this one is just for funz! Bedroom maybe? I’m a mature lady!

Also I saw this photo on Tumblr and squeed. The walls are a similar color to our living room walls, and I would LOVE to bring these colors into the livingroom, too. I just feel like for some reason I need to get my rug situation figured out first!
