My First Giveaway!!!
| 5 Comments on My First Giveaway!!!Hey kids!
I am doing my very first giveaway over at LovelyLittleDeer’sblog, and there is also a fun interview with moi!
The giveaway item is a custom sugar cookie pin :).
The contest ends on July 13! Please visit Becky’s blog to see how to enter!
Also, I was alerted to the fact that my first cake tissue cozy was featured in a blog about the 12 most Creative Tissue Boxes!
Also, we took my laptop into the Apple store today and discovered I have a janky video card, and since there are a bunch of class action law suits involving my video card, I’m getting it replaced for free!!! It’s going to take a while, so I still won’t be online as much as usual. I feel like not having my laptop allows me to do more work, while also keeping me from doing work. Haha. Double-edged sword! Also, using someone else’s computer is weird….the keys are all different, I keep making typos, I feel like it’s a little bit slower. It frustrates me a little bit, so I probably won’t use it very much.
I’ll still do my best to keep on top of everything I have to keep on top of. Don’t worry! But I mention it just so you know I may not comment on stuff as much!
I gotta go and work on t-shirt and postcard designs now!
Can’t wait to post pics of the soft-serve icecream cone scarf I have in the works. It’s dericious!
Laptop is Out of Commish
| Leave a CommentHey guys.
Last night, the screen on my laptop decided to take a break…. Hairy says they’ll probably have to send it away to be fixed. It’s kind of the worst time ever to not have access to my computer while I’m still designing stuff and preparing for Renegade, so we might just buy a cable and see if I can hook it up to our flatscreen tv, and then send the computer in after the show! AHHHH! We’ll see.
In the meantime, I can gank Hairy’s laptop when he’s not using it, but I just wanted to let y’all know if I don’t respond to your comments right away or post here as much!
Happy Fourth!!!
Hairy is roasting a chicken and we bought lots of foods to nosh. I gotta go baste that bird!
Our New Fridge is In our Bathroom
| 9 Comments on Our New Fridge is In our Bathroom
We are the proud owners of a vintage fridge! We drove to Pleasanton last week to pick this up and use it for a display unit for the craft fair.
Hairy thought of paying for a storage unit for a month to put the fridge in, and then selling the fridge after the fair. But I suggested we just put it in the downstairs bathroom for now instead of paying for storage. Now we have the weirdest bathroom ever. It was already ugly (pea green walls and purple tile!) but now there’s an old fridge AND a Dora the Explorer pinata in it!!! (The pinata is a gift from my manager dude. He swung by last weekend with his supercute daughter Hayley McMuffin and he said he got the Dora pinata for me to customize into a Twinkie pinata!) Hairy says the Dora pinata has front-butt.
It’s in pretty good condition. Apparently it was repainted at some point, but there is till kind of a dent in the door and some rusting. It needs some stickers removed and some TLC, but it will be a cute way to hold the foodie scarves for events. I kind of want to keep it and use it to store clothes upstairs, but I’m afraid it will start to smell in there. Plus, it’s really heavy and nobody is going to want to haul it upstairs into the bedroom!
There was kind of a huge rigmarole involving this fridge for the first 48 hrs. Let’s just say, 10,000 spiders & beetles, egg sacs, a blackwidow, a whole can of RAID, asbestos, hissing tubes, and compressed frothy white oil all over the garage floor. It was really scary for a hot minute!
Even though it is shorter than I am and has had some heavy stuff removed from its guts, it’s still really heavy, and it will be interesting to move this thing around in the next 2 weeks!!!
“Dessert before Dinner, the Princess Demands It!” (video)
| 6 Comments on “Dessert before Dinner, the Princess Demands It!” (video)Yesterday, I had lunch with my ex-office ladies. Our salads were not too delightful, but the company was.
I was also next to my favorite cupcake shop: Kara’s Cupcakes, so I picked up a little box of yummyness.
I just ate the last one (yes, before dinner!), and for some reason, I felt like I was supposed to record it and speed it up! Here’s what happened!! (I keep looking up and over because I was watching “Undeclared” on DVD!)
Oh, P.S. it’s the “Lemony Lemon” cupcake, and it’s SO good cuz the frosting is neither too sugary nor too shortening-y, plus the lemon FILLING is delish!!! The special cupcake of the month this month is SMORES: chocolate cupcake, graham cracker crumble, toasted marshmallow topping. I might buy some tomorrow if I’m feeling like a fatty, which I probably will….hahaha. I will be in the neighborhood again to have lunch with the BFF and her friend.
Renegade Craft Fair infos!
| 14 Comments on Renegade Craft Fair infos!
I can’t remember if I ever posted info for the fair!
It’s July 18-19, in Fort Mason here in San Francisco. Here is a link to the Renegade site.
I went to this fair last year as a shopper/visitor, and I was AMAZED at how many vendors there were! So Much stuff!!! Bring lots of cash!!! We ran out!
Manda and I will be at booth 92, which will be nearish to the frontish.
I’m starting to feel like there are 12 stages of planning for a craft fair. At first I felt anxious, then I felt relaxed (about having plenty of time to make stuff for my table), then I was in denial (about having no time to make stuff for my table), then I was FREAKED THE EFF OUT, and now I’m excited. I wonder what tomorrow will bring! Probably more freak-the-eff-out before this event is done.
Please come say hi. If all plans turn out well, I will have a really cool booth display, and LOTS of new, fun items!
Welcome!
