This during a Colbert Report commercial break..........

Some recent finds.............. a pill case shaped like a teru teru bouzu ...a soft zippered lunchbox with a hedgehog print!
My Mom, Mari, and I went shopping this Sunday. We hit the Santa Monica Airport Antique Market. It was gloomy and freezing, but we found this Japanese laquer jewelry box.
We found the red beans on a center island "park" in Brentwood....
Not much I can show right now in terms of "making things" since a lot of it is for the upcoming baby shower. I also have a big personal project "to do" list that I have yet to tackle. Ah well, hopefully I can work on something this week!

Jet Lagged...

Back from New York.......where it was 12 degrees - 3 degrees with the windchill! We just missed the snow luckily, but here it is on the balcony of my hotel - it never even melted.
I was in New York for work, but I got to visit my good friend Juan. He just got a cute new apartment.

The Chrysler Building from my hotel window.

Well, I'm still settling in a catching up believe it or not. I'm just so glad to be back in LA. I have lots of projects and finds to share, but this is all I could muster tonight.

Be well all!!!!

Stumped....

Well, off to New York (business) for a week - but I could'nt leave without posting about the cutest candy I found. Candy posting here will not be a regular thing as I am a huge fan of this blog and eagerly await her "Japanese Candy Fridays".
Anyways - they're a chocolate/biscuit combo shaped like little tree stumps!! Sooo oishii!!

Here are the baby shower invites I've been working on for my bro and sis-in-law. Pink and chocolate brown! I had so much fun looking for fonts and the one I finally chose is called Johnny Quest from here. I will post the finished versions later.


Hope everyone had a lovely Valentines Day!

Dogtown to J-Town

These are some more bowls I made a while back for EPS. I was experimenting with doing some patchwork on the inside. This is a giant bowl - about 4 times the size of my smallest ones.....
A 20" round mat - also for EPS.........
Saturday night, we went to a opening party at Elizabeth's gallery. It was actually the opening of her own photography exhibit called Odelay Anzo Borrego Desierto. The photos were great (the subject was Tony Alva) and we had a good time. We ended the night with a late dinner in J-Town, and tea and people watching at Starbucks.

That's Hot...

I just had to show this bag I picked up at Target today. It's a big ol' carry-all, very chic I think, and for $17! And seeing as how it was 86 degrees today (that one week Winter we had was nice), it's just perfect.

Super Bowl Sunday!!

Another busy week - but I managed to finish some more mats for EPS.
And, today is Super Bowl Sunday so know what that means - my Mom and I go shopping all day. It's tra-dish. I got a couple pairs of flats and a cool zip hoodie for Phil. God bless H+M, Zara, and Mango.
Gotta go finish my piece for the Free People Swap now!!
