In a moment of clarity, I noticed the Cherry Blossoms have bloomed! There is probably a law against cutting off random branches from these trees. I would love to have a few to replace my tulips. Maybe I'll find some at the marke...

Project 365: Day 030
I picked this up at a local Borders last week. I was drawn to the pattern, the feel of the flocking and the blackness. It's gotten quite a bit of use in just this one week as I figured out I am right at that magical cusp in time where we have to make decisions RIGHT NOW in order to have everything come together in time. Luckily, I seem to be making huge progress, YAYs!! Now, I am constantly trying to remove all the cat hair and fluff...

One of the more scary prospects of moving, for me especially, is having to find a new hairstylist. I have a ton of thick, kind of coarse, hair that poses a daunting task for most hairstylists, evidenced by several horrid haircuts over the years. When I find someone who can handle my hair and give me a great cut I am loyal. I have only had to change stylist in the recent past because they moved far enough away that I couldn't get to...

Y and I are thinking we really want a cupcake tree wedding cake. We both heart cupcakes and we actually discovered our sweet tooth for them together.Problem: we are new to Seattle and we have yet to determine the best cupcakes in the area.Solution: visit every cupcake shop and devour cupcakes! Things we have to endure just to get married [wicked grin].This is the Royal Red Velvet cupcake from New York Cupcakes in Bellevue. It was good....

Today was a very special day. I had Auntie Z duty with my 5 year old niece. I filled in and shuttled her about on her very event filled Saturday. It started with ballet, then soccer and then a birthday party. Ballet was a closed class this week so I will have to wait until her recital in May. We had a 1/2 hour before soccer and we played foosball. I was so amazed as she totally picked up on all the basics I showed her. Then an older...

YAY! It's tulip season! Tulips are one of my two favorite flowers, the other being Stargazer lilies (my most favorite). The close up is of the two varieties of tulips I picked up today. I always love soft pink tulips but today I also fell in love with these gorgeous Parrot tulips!If you click on the links above, you will be taken to the Florapedia site for each flowers meaning. I was very happy with the meanings of my two selections....

I am helping a friend out with his new apartment. I did one of his places years ago and he is back for more, heh heh heh. So I was looking through my favorite paint deck, ICI Paints. The reps for ICI were always the best and they always had the best colors and samples. I used them for my old apartment in San Francisco and for most of my clients. The paint has great coverage and the staff at their paint outlets were always very helpful....

Things will be hectic in my world through the end of the month. Loads of stuff I seriously need to accomplish. I will try to keep up with my Project 365 and sprinkle in a regular post when possible. I will also stop by all your wonderful blogs, as I always do, but it will probably be sporadic. Please bear with me and stay tuned :Pxo...

I found her!!! This is Yazmine, on foot at least, I have another figure that came with this one where she is ridding some sort of reptile but I need to glue that all together. I will eventually paint her tiny little body, we'll just add that to the long list of projects I've got at the moment, eh-hem.She seems to have a penchant for Madonna-esque torpedo bras and has definitely heard that shoulder pads are back.Diva knows how to work!...
Yazmine (The First)
Saturday was the big day. My first game of D&D ever. The main accomplishment of the event was Yazmine, my kick ass character.Here are her stats:Name: YazmineClass: Magic-UserRace: ElfWorships: Jwas Medar (god-o-magic)Strength: 16Intelligence: 17Wisdom: 10Dexterity: 10Constitution: 15Charisma: 14(I am told these are very decent scores.)As an Elf I can switch from being a magic-user to a fighter as long as I decide this before each of our sessions. I am told I have really good stats for a fighter. As a fighter I can get...

Godzilla was this evenings stand in for Yazmine, my D&D character. It was my first game of D&D and I guess Yazmine had cold feet, prolly due to being stuck with a n00b like me. I could not find her anywhere so Godzilla took over. He really does not do any justice for Yazmine's outwardly appearance but he does give you a sense of her inner nature when pushed. ...

Currently, this is my favorite destination. It's the bin at my local post office where I drop off packages. A trip to this means some lovely person found my creations yummy enough to place an order. It puts an amazing smile on my face and makes my heart bubble over with glee. I am fortunate to have wonderful customers and clients. To date, my jewelry designs can be spotted on style mavens all around the United States as well as some...

Dear Mr. Mole or Vole:It was one thing when you and yer clan tore up the sides and back areas around the house last season but now this is down right nervy. Did you have to raise this big-ass hill right smack in the front yard where we walk everyday?? Unsightly and a pain in the booty. Just wait until the gardeners come around next Monday and find this. I'm just saying.Sincerely,Annoy...

And so, the countdown begins!
It's just a matter of days now until my first game of D&D ever! I know my character is going to be an Elven Magic-User. I think I shall call her Yazmine. She's definitely going to have a rockin' outfit with some major hawt stiletto boots. I don't care what anyone says but Yazmine at some point will be using magical pink glitter as a weapon. TPK is definitely lurking as the DM, my wonderful fiancé Y, is going to make us roll up three...
Procet 365: Day 011
Comfort food that is actually healthy = Pho. Years ago my comfort food consisted of mainly oooey-gooey cheesy dishes like mac 'n cheese or pupusas de quseo con loroco. Those still have a major place in my heart, or tummy, but I always feel guilty and like a tub-o-lard when I eat them for comfort. Enter Pho Tai, rice noodle soup with eye-round steak. If I had a hard day, feel sickly, down or just plain out of sorts, Pho Tai makes it all...

How fun are these Bebaroque 'Roxy' stockings!!!!The show stopping Roxy design is carefully hand embroidered using fabulous black fringing. When on the leg the fringe will swish and sway, whilst elegantly hanging down the back of your legs. Exclusively designed for Lascivious using a shorter 2.5cm tassel and a nude stocking, Roxy is the perfect compliment to any Lascivious collection.

Pattern by Tricia Guild is one of my all time favorite eye candy/inspirational books. I love the look, the feel, the smell. It makes me happy to gaze upon the beautiful pages and inspires me every time in new ways. Bold patterns and colors are expertly mixed in each interior and page giving my eyes a reason to see. The velvety flocked cover and the semi opaque printed vellum pages, which appear randomly throughout, give me a reason to...

Recent Designs
This weekend while my wonderful friend M visited, whom I have known and loved for over 20 years, I was able to design her a necklace. She wanted a little red something and I came up with this delicate yet vibrant necklace (just like M):Today I also worked on a couple more designs:Not sure if I am done with the last two but soon all three should be available in my sho...

Whew! I'm just making it before midnight :PIt's the end of an era.I have owned and used my Betsy Clark stapler exclusively at my home desk since I was a little girl. Today I purchased this One Touch 20 sheet capacity stapler from Staples [sigh]. Good old Betsy still works but she can't handle too many pages at once. I've had to grow up just a wee bit more [gulp]. She will still have an honored place at my desk but she deserves a rest...
