Cupcake

I got some really great felt at renegade so I tried making a cupcake. It looks more phallic than confectionary, but it's a prototype.

Sorry. I have a 2G iPhone so the pictures are horrible. Anyway. I'll be working on the perfect cupcake. 

Edit: As I was scheduling this to post, Optimus (my maine coone/ norweigan forest cat) stole the cupcake and ran off with it. Now it smells weird. :(

Renegade

Renegade Craft fair was great this weekend. I met some awesome vendors, including a couple of chicas whose blogs I follow!

Elsie from A Beautiful Mess!

There's always this strange awkward creepiness when I meet people I've seen online. I'm not normally a shy person but when I admit to someone I have cyber stalked them and know way too much about them, it gets weird. I got shy and ran away after this picture. This is not my first real life meeting with a cyber person though.

I met Angela from Oiyi's crafts in Brooklyn at a fair once too. It wasn't weird at all because she had done some cyber stalking of her own and it was so funny. Like a blind date almost. I was like oh your little girl is adorable and she was like your cats are so cute. After that I knitted with her knitting group a couple of times too so it was pretty cool!

I met several other people whose work I'd seen online and it was great to put a name and face to their art. Some people like Elsie were gracious and sweet, and some- well - some were not! The craft world is a small world though, and everyone has seen everything it seems like. 

It also takes a level of comfort to be the blogger and to disclose bits of your life with total strangers. The nice thing is when these strangers stop being strangers and become your friends. It takes a lot of trust to put everything out there for the world to see.

Here are some great vendors that I met and liked! Not all of course, but those whose cards I took.

Tinted Mint: Really cute paper products/ ribbon tape! 

Verameat: Had the cutest affenpinscher at the booth, and some beautiful jewelry.

Drew Morrison: Amazing illustrations, I didn't buy anything but think maybe I will online.

SEIBEI: Awesome dinosaur tees and my favorite "I'm fat let's party"

Ach Ach Liebling: Really great and hand crafted jewelry. I bought a set of dagger earrings.

Handmade Whimsy: "fanciful trinkets and textiles"

aroostudio: Cute pet stuff! ALSO had the SWEETEST beagle pup who I fell in love with.

Raw Toast Design: Great illustrations and graphics. My friend got a great boston terrier print

Sweet Penelope: Grabbed this card for wedding invites!

The affenpinscher. If you don't know what an affenpinscher is. You should.

Just in case you miss myspace...

OMG LOLz!

.....

ahahhahaa.

I got these ridiculous iPhone apps. And I've been going crazy.

By the way- does anyone still use myspace? I forgot my password to it- it's been awhile.

Bad Blogger!

Sorry I haven't updated lately! I've been crazy busy at work and in life.
Wedding planning hasn't REALLY started yet, but it's going to be a rough ride, I can tell that much already. My band got into a battle of the bands and we are performing on August 4th at the Great American Music Hall! Yay!

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!

HI. I'm trying to figure what layout works best for this blog- so bear with me through the changes. 10x!

Doors doors doors!

Our apartment is FILLED with doors. Door to the living room door to the office door to the bedroom and to the closet and out again into the hall- it gets confusing to our guests! So we made signs :).

My favorite- the door to my craft room.

And of course... My heart is in brooklyn.

My new band.

Family

Glamour

So I went on Ethan Allen's website and took the style quiz- which style are you? This was my result.

Yay for glamour! I was afraid it was going to say something stupid- but I'm okay with glamour. Even though I don't know if that's true- I'd say more ADHD is probably my style. But go and take it and see which you are! Click here.

Beautiful Blogger

This weekend was the SF Pride parade and it was so much fun! I intelligently forgot my camera at home so I just have some poorly shot iPhone pictures of it- which aren't even good enough to share on here. But the parade was colorful and fun..

I've been awarded the beautiful blogger award! I have to pay it forward- and don't have time right this minute- but thank you mamaTave for the award and I will be sure to work on it soon!

Also, went shopping with a friend while Mr. R was out of town and got some sweet things for my apartment. Mama and Papa and Brother Rockit are all coming to town so I have to make the place look as adult as possible! Now it's time for grown up purchases like artwork and vases. WoohoO!

:)

I know I've been really bad. I keep saying I'll post up pictures but there are so many good shows on TV these days. haha. Anyway. Instead of posting pictures of my amazing apartment or putting more things up in my shop, I will tell you about this dream I had last night.

I had a dream that Mr. Rockit proposed and gave me something like this...

Yeah...

Thankfully, this did not happen in real life. Mr. Rockit, I know you read this. Don't get me a ring that looks like that please.

San Francisco

FOcuuuus

Yay! I won tickets to see Colin hearts Kay, an independent film at the SF united film festival on one of my fave blogs sfgirlbybay.

Looks super cute- can't wait to see it with the mister. And I actually won something- I feel special.

Anyway, check out Victoria's website- she talks about awesome interior and regular style among other awesome fun things. And I like her a lot because she gave me free things.
