mi madre

mi madres is a taco restaurant in austin. the best migas tacos! dude, so good. so good in fact that my new favorite band, the mae shi, had them in austin during sxsw and they are not even from the area.

mi madres is also spanish for my mom and in honor of her i made this rad eye mask and simple sugar scrub for mi madres day. thanks craftzine blog for the fantastic ideas! the directions for both projects were incredibly simple. im never buying expensive exfoliant scrubs again!

the chronicles of yarnia

i know, i know! totally cheeseball but whatever. through vanessa's blog i found the rad craftzine blog. holy shit those people posting know whats up! check this out...a yarn store in portland, where you can customize your own yarn. hells yeah! it's called yarnia. you can pick the fiber, thickness, everything! i wonder how long i would spend in a store like that? considering i spend an average 2 hours and $80 each time i go to the yarn store here in seattle. ahh! bad news bears.

also, i am totally making these for derrick's rock band drum kit. circular needles! i need to get a pair of those if i do this.


and who doesn't want neapolitan cupcakes. score! i'm for sure making these tonight!


i'm very happy it's the weekend!
