I made these on a whim! Zach tripped a bit and splashed coffee all over our white curtains. It kind of looked like splattered blood. It also didn’t help that he had just gotten laser eye surgery and joked, “Omg my eyes! Ahhh” as I came running over to see what the commotion was about. That plus the coffee “blood” splatter=freak out.

As the curtains were in the wash, I remembered I had bought some iron-on transfer sheet with the idea that I was going to decorate the bland white curtains with something. That was a year ago. So I finally got around to it today.

Nyan nyan nyannyan!

Wore this for Halloween at Atlus. I bought a bunch of felt and the cashier said “School project?” I’m 26! I haven’t had a crafty school project in 8 years.

 

Atlus Halloween

 

It took me about 3 hours to make but I was working really slowly. I think I’m going to stuff it and hang it on the ceiling.

I went to the Newport film festival a couple months ago and Zach and I always like to watch the animated shorts. This was one of the most moving ones was by a Taiwanese film student, who did all the artwork!

Some singer took it for his music video for his mediocre song. I can’t find the original so this will have to do.

-EDIT- Here is the original! Yay!

 

Totally cried in the theatre and so did all the old people in the audience. At the panel after the showing, many people asked the director how he came up with the story how his parents felt… He said his mom asked why there was no mom in the story. hah!

 

This is similar to the Japanese short, La Maison en Petits Cubes (The House of Small Cubes) which won the Oscar in 2009.

I think I like the art of The House of Small Cubes better.

 

I made these this morning. Black cheery icea tea with fresh lemon juice with a lemon slice frozen on the side. Frozen lemon mmmMmm.

Zoku Quick Pop Maker

I got a Zoku Quick Pop Maker! I saw it at Williams-Sonoma and I really wanted it. The design is so cheerful and sleek and the pops are super easy to make. It’s not messy and the pops come out clean. I love how I know exactly what I put in my popsicles (healthier) and I never have to buy them at the supermarket anymore!

Frozen for 24 hours and now it's ready to make pops!

Outer shell is starting to freeze. To make filled popsicles, you suck out the juice with a straw and then pour in a different liquid. Ingenious!

I made these this afternoon. Black cherry iced tea with fresh lemon juice and a lemon slice frozen on the side. Frozen lemon mmmMmm.

It was so hot today that these were a perfect gift. It was an early present but it was just in time for the nice warm weekend.
