I'm knitting again.

G went to go visit some buddies over in Charleston and asked me to knit a little something for his friend's new son. So I went through my yarn stash and found some cashmerino, which is soft and washable. And this was the outcome for the little bugger. Cute yea? I love making this hat because it's so quick and easy, and I know the pattern by heart.

I got a tattoo!

Actually, I got two, and they're for my laptop. :) My brother started an Etsy shop called LapTatt, so of course I had to purchase something. I really like his stick figure series and then asked him to make a decal with my logo. So now when I'm working at a coffee shop, maybe people will notice the decal and go to my site out of pure curiosity.
I do encourage you to check out his shop for some very cool decals for your laptop.

Doing it Later

So for the past 3 years, I've bought myself weekly planners with the intention of, well, planning my life one week at a time. I usually do well for the first few weeks, then it tapers off. Then I pick it back up again for a short period. It's great when I do use it, but being consistent is my problem. So a few weeks ago, I as at the bookstore and saw the "Do it Later" planner for the "creative procrastinator." Perfect! It has little tips for procrastinating (not that I need help in this area) and a doodle section for where I should be writing my to do lists. And I must say that so far, this year, I have been very good at procrastinating. I've actually been very good at writing my to do lists in this planner, only to rewrite them a week later. By writing this blog post, I can now actually cross something off! So here's the first tip: Monday is the most popular day to visit Internet shopping sites - plan a light workday. Being that I sell my jewelry online, it would be the opposite for me, but I just thought I'd share.

Bad Bad Blogger

Yes, I know, it's Jan 15th, and I haven't blogged all year. I even bought a planner and planned out some posts to write about, but just haven't gotten around to it. So, a belated Happy New Year to you all, and I will be posting soon. I promise!

Happy Holidays Sale!

Hello lovely readers! I'm hoping you're all having a wonderful holiday season. Mine consisted of eating a lot of Korean and Indian food and just vegging out at home. Well, I just wanted to take the time out to thank you all for your support and reading my little blog. I also wanted to let you know that I've marked down everything in my shop by 50%! I have to do inventory after the year is over, so it would be great if I had fewer things to count. So take advantage because prices will be going back up on Jan 1, 2010.

Cheers!

Get To Know... The Asian Cajuns

Alright kids. This is my last interview for the year, so of course it has to be good. And I do have to say, they've all been good. So for this last one, I'd like to introduce to you, the Asian Cajuns! They are fashionista twins who run the fabulous blog, The Asian Cajuns, and local celebrities. I met them by seeing them at a local restaurant and going up to them saying "Excuse me, are you the Asian Cajuns?" in front of their boyfriends and visiting parents. Hehe, it was a rock star moment. Well, I could go on, so here are their finished sentences, which they did separately. Enjoy and be sure to check out their site!

Catherine:
I am…an AsianCajun.

In another life I was…either a queen or a maid...I'm going to go with queen.

In a future life, I hope to be…a twin again.

Many people don’t know that I…really enjoy a slice of grilled Spam.

I wish I had known sooner...that Anderson Cooper was gay.

I’d like to learn to…enjoy blue cheese.

I can’t believe I…can't run half a mile without getting winded.

I've never...not liked sour patch kids.

If I won the lottery, I would…travel to Sweden and shop at H&M and Ikea.

I’d like to thank the Academy for…recognizing all the people who have made a tremendous difference in the world...of Hollywood.

Lauren:

I am ... the other AsianCajun (my mom didn't know she was having twins until the doctor said, "Oh my God, there's another one.").

In another life I was... probably, you know, the Dalai Lama, or the person who made his sandals.

In a future life, I hope to be... a twin again too! Even if it were twin ligers, I'd vote for having a double.

Many people don't know that I... wish I could sing.

I wish I had known sooner... how to make a good gumbo.

I'd like to learn to... have Hilary Clinton's composure (learning how to rock a pantsuit would be a bonus).

I can't believe I... never got to meet Kevin Aucoin.

I've never... been comfortable in the water, unless it's bathtub.

If I won the lottery, I would... be so tempted to buy the Olsen twins' wardrobe, but I would travel and donate more money to women in third world countries (who will some day soon rule the world).

I'd like to thank the Academy for... nominating me so I could wear this dress and these shoes (red Valentino, sky-high Christian Louboutins)
