Happy New Year!

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

Got VixenArts.com running today for a friend, read most of Spirits in the Wires (borrowed from same friend) – who we had yummy Japanese with at Katana in Sunnyvale yesterday. Also went to see The Princess and the Frog – it was great!

Having a family dinner tonight, the cooking started at three, and folks should start to arrive shortly. Tomorrow we plan to see either Avatar or Sherlock Holmes.

And before I forget – Mel’s brownie sundae sucks, bleh! Only one as bad or worse than Baskin Robbins so far.

Today’s Stuff of the Moment

Thursday, January 25th, 2007
todays-stuff-of-the-moment

Too bad this place doesn’t ship here:

  • sofa 1 – Alabama Sofa – This is the kind of sofa I think is most comfy – rounded arms and loose pillows you can arrange however
  • sofa 2 – Granada Sofa – I like how this looks, though it’s not what I’d want for myself.
  • table – Valentino Oak Table – Love the table, hate the chairs.
  • rug – Dash Rug – Why are nice rugs like this so hard to find?

More pretties!

This stuff supposedly works great for pet hair too: Gal Pal Garment Deodorant Remover

Felt is the new fabric of the moment it seems. Here’s “How to Make Felt Doors” (from apartment therapy).

But if you’re looking for patterns to learn how to make these kinds of animals, Google is your best bet. Just search using “amigurumi pattern” as keywords, you’ll see long list of pattern you can use.

Tanja works on some nature preserve with wolf packs. So that explains some of the images she has. They’re pretty awesome overall. And some I recognized as showing up on http://cuteoverload.com/.

Here’s the original photo every day guy I mentioned remembering (from when I was taking design classes) in a previous post (that linked to a knock off).

Also, a way cool solid metal pen I’m going to have to show my mom.

Dollar Cone Night

Wednesday, December 20th, 2006
dollar-cone-night

Went to dinner with TM, Meow, JP & my pirate at Mirai. Pretty good food, I liked the dragon roll, the Umekyu Shiso wasn’t sweet like I was expecting. All the guys seemed to like their cherry blossom roll. But Meow didn’t like their Ikura. TM took so long deciding he didn’t get his dinner till we’d finished all three plates of sushi we ended up ordering. A bit of a pricey dinner eating that many sushi rolls, but it was yummy and fun. TM brought me a cute little hummingbird ornament back from his trip to China. I tried to resist getting a dollar cone at Baskin Robbins, but it was right there across the parking lot. We picked up kitty food for the guys too… and then forgot it in my pirate’s car, so he came for lunch today and we went and dropped it off.

One of the design blogs I read linked this site: http://www.doodlebug.ws/

So much cute stuff and totally an inspiration to do some crafting and scrapbooking. I’m thinking about trying to digitally scrapbook so I don’t take up a ton of space…

A sampling:
