People We Love : Indie184

Friday, April 15th, 2011

Indie is one of favorite graffiti artists. I love her style and the color schemes she uses remind me of my old Lisa Frank trapper keeper and sticker book. She got together with KarmaLoop and put together a little video…

Nice cameo by Cope2.

Lady GaGa- Born this way! Pt.1

Monday, February 28th, 2011

Holy gaga balls…
Bravo to Lady Gaga for another amazing video/mini movie. I loved it! Even the part when she gives birth to herself and a gun…ouch. I have to say the weirdest thing about the video was that it seemed she was wearing flat shoes while dancing.

I also think she was giving Madonna a shout out at the end with the tooth gap. Boo Ya!
I can’t wait for the other video she puts out for this song..

What did you guys think??

New Year, New Hobby.

So this year I decided I wanted to get into embroidery. I remember back in day when I was a Girl Scout we would embroider handkerchiefs for our dads for fathers day. I still have my fathers, with the big blue H  (his name was Hector) stitched on the corner and his Girl Scout medals attached to it.

I got inspired to do embroidery when I was looking for crafts to do on , of course, Martha Sweart.com and came across the link for SUBLIME STITCHING. I remembered always seeing the ad for SS in the back of Juxtapoz Magazine and thought that the prints were super cute and different from anything you find at Micheal’s or Joanne’s.

When I clicked on the link and saw what Sublime had to offer I was sold…

The owner and creator of Sublime Stitching is Jenny Heart. She designs the patterns and is a pro stitcher. Along with her own designs, there are also Artist Series you can choose from : Tara Mcpherson, Molly Crabapple, Julie West, and Jim Woodring to name a few.

I put my order in for the Ultimate Embroidery Kit and I can’t wait to get it. I think my first project will be a bib for Jackson <3

Yay to hobby #375! I think I’m going to need a crafting room…

ps. We should totally have a craft party, cause you know, going out and getting wasted is so 2009.

=D

Peep’s We Love: Annie Cubannie!

Friday, December 10th, 2010

I’ve been a long time fan of Cubannie Links the accessories line and of the creator, Annie.  I always get compliments whenever I wear anything Cubannie Links because it’s fun and different. On top of that, Annie is a sweetheart! She’s humble and gracious which makes supporting her hustle 10x better. Here’s a little documentary about Annie Cubannie to let you know how she’s taking over the world one earring at a time =)
