Thought I would share my work from today before I have to stop showing you guys for a bit. I have to work on a top secret surprise project next, and the pieces are way too recognizable to show you peeks!

I needed to use my mint green yarn for the cupcake bottoms, but I had half a mint-chip ice cream scoop still in the works, so I decided to just finish the ice cream scoop before using the yarn for the cupcakes! So those are two separate projects kinda smushed together.

The cupcake scarf is for a video (or two) that I will be shooting in the next few days. Fun fun fun!

So I finally got my grubby hands on videos and photos from the Pooltradeshow…but first, I will show you what Hairy and I were up to in L.A. last weekend: Sweet Streets 2!! I was going to collab with Manda on a fashion project for the show, but due to complications, we unfortunately decided to pull out. I still wanted to see the show, though, because so many of my friends were involved and attending and I wanted to meet and see everybody!

I get very awkward about using my camera and asking for photos with people, so I never have all the photos I wish that I had, but here is a little peek!

Here’s me about to leave the motel for the show. We stayed at the Super 8 in Hollywood for the first time…… and although it is right next to a Walgreen’s (convenience!), I did feel like I might get a disease from the bed…

I made the ice cream hair baubles the night before we left. I love how they turned out! I definitely plan to make them for my Etsy shop in different sizes and flavors after I finish this one big secret project I have lined up!

Me and Yume Ninja! She made her most awesome Gothicorn outfit!!!! I didn’t get a shot of her shoes but WOW.

She also had two amazing pieces in the show! So talented!

Here’s me and San!! She’s an awesome illustrator from Atlanta and she was chosen to be a model in the 6%DOKIDOKI show. She’s so cute!

I treated myself to some 6%DOKIDOKI goodies and ran into Vani, one of the shopgirls, and asked if I could take my picture with her. I like this photo cuz you can see Steph and Candyspooky making faces behind us! I had no idea they were there until I looked at the photos on my camera!

Oooh I just stole this pic from Locketship!

It’s the very first photo of all members of the Big Headed Asians club! Who has the biggest head!!?!?

Here’s the view inside Gallery Nucleus from upstairs:

Here’s the giant crowd of people waiting for the 6%DOKIDOKI fashion show to start!

Prepare for the most amazingly fun and cute fashion show you will ever witness!!!!

WOW, right!?! I sat on the floor in the front row next to Maria Locketship and our feet were going numb! Could you see the back of our big heads in some of the video? There was no place to move since it was so packed! It was also really super duper hot inside, so Hairy and I stepped out after the show, wandered to find some bubble tea and deoderant (for stinky me), and after hanging outside the gallery for a little bit more, I shopped inside with Nellie, and then we went to eat food!

The art from the show is up on the gallery website, so Check it out here and buy some arts! I have never splurged and bought art before, but I saw a piece by an artist I have adored for years, and I went for it.

Come to me, Naoshi! She paints with glittery sand. It’s mind blowing!

Here are some snaps of some of the other art at the show:

This one is by the super cute Bei Badgirl! She came all the way from Australia! I’m lame and didn’t get a photo with her on my camera even though I recall taking many pics with her for other people’s cameras!

The next two are by Yume Ninja. They are gorgeous!

I LOVE the work by Eimi!

Awesome work by Misha who did my licorice bow tattoo!

The rest, I don’t have credits for, but you can always go to the Gallery Nucleus website to check out EVERYTHING. There was soooo much!

I have a super big project to start crocheting, and I finished my planning sketches last night, but today I took a moment to make myself some cute hair doodads for my weekend in L.A.! More pics later!

Oh, p.s.! I found out today that Spoiled Brat in the UK now carries Yummy You! 🙂

Also in the UK, I have a mention in October’s issue of “Let’s Knit!” If anyone over there wants to send me a copy, I will totally pay for it and the postage!

If you can make it to 1:33, you will be rewarded!!

Also, here are some snap shots of my work area today!

I totally refer to the copy of my own book when making my projects. It’s legit!

(oh, p.s., the greatest purchase ever was purchased at bangbangcrash.)

Hi Hi!

OH gosh this move has been epic! I don’t know why it was so hard! The new house is still a giant mess that needs to be organized, but I finally unpacked all my yarn and can start working again! Also we have been in this house for a week, but tonight was the first night the internet actually worked! We had to call AT&T for a kabillion techs and it felt like my whole week was devoted to waiting for them. But it works now, so phew!!!!

Yummy You is now available at a few sites!! These are the ones that I know of, although there may be more. YummyYouClothing.com is still a few months away from offering items for sale 🙁 but you can still get your hands on Yummy You at:

JapanLA! YAY!!! Check out the super cute photos starring zilla308!

ModCloth! More YAY!!!

NerdKungFu.com! I just met Mr. NerdKungFu at the Pooltradeshow a few weeks ago and he was super duper nice!

In the meantime, I have a few fun secret projects to work on as well as continuing to organize the new place.

Here is Bibi helping:
