Not what they were going for

Ry says my new gum smells like cat wee :(

Do I look like a terrorist?

Visions of knitting patterns. Not presents.

Oh man.  I hate to be a total non holiday bum out, but I just straight up got so stressed about Artomatic that I'm actually nauseous.  Seriously.  Under four months.  Even though I know I'm under zero obligation to sell from my booth, it really is my goal...and it's really my goal to kill it and make some money.  Even worse, I think my main focus is knitwear...and for those not in the know, you don't just wiggle your ass and have a scarf appear.  I mean, maybe some do, but I think that's a whole other show going on.

Oy.  I'm just going to go bowl on my DS because I can't knit anymore tonight.  I was taking a break and doing non-retail knitting anyways, teeny eeny knitting for my darling little Thea!!!!  More about her in a special post of her own! <3

You took me off your favorites?!?!?!?!

He said I didn't post enough so he took me off his favorites. So now I have to post on a regular basis. So there Ryan. LOOK AT ALL THIS POSTING. POSTY POST POST.

Drafts + scheduled posts are gonna save my life.

My mom is cooler than your mom.

My mom got a tattoo and not gonna lie, it's beyond badass. It's a Caia Koopman piece and she sat from 1-6 with only a couple breaks in between. It's pretty freaking big.

Oh, did I mention that this was her FIRST tattoo?

This was right after completion, so it looks a little angry.
This was is just for fun, because they took a well-timed break and it looks like her tattoo has the stigmata :p


Done by the ever delightful 540 at Infinate Art.

Just like its 2005

Bringing back the Myspace pose with my fancy new winter hat.

Moon cakes...it's about a cake...that lives on the moon.

Has anyone else ever had these? They're called something along the line of moon cakes. My thai cousin got them for us...they're very expensive and a very big deal. My gramoo saved them until Thanksgiving for everyone to try. Per usual, along with every other asian treat like mochi, etc, I was the only one in the family who really liked them. They're squishy, yet not, on the outside and have different fillings-strawberry was the crowd favorite. (amongst the 4 people who would even try them!)

Here we go! I got curious and wiki'd halfway thru. I would say in this photo is what they're describing as the "jelly" mooncake, but our box also had the traditional ones with the crust. I haven't tried those yet. Now I'm a little freaked out to after reading this article. Salted egg yolks? Chicken floss? Where exactly on a chicken would one find the *floss*?

Get schooled, read about my american family's azn dessert. :) Mooncakes on Wikipedia

Also, if your asian cousin ever gives you "snack mix".....read the ingredients. There could be rogue wasabi peas hiding in some sort of coating in there and you will not know until it. is. too. late!
