Got sick, and then… sicker.

I love tokidoki stuff.. But I’ve never been able to bring myself to buy their jewelry, even though I think it’s way adorable!  I’m just not a huge fan of spending money on costume jewelry.

Anyhow, that didn’t stop me from taking a hand at making my own tokidoki jewlery out of shrinkydink!!   If I do say so myself, they came out pretty darn cute!

Total cost: about $5.00
Materials: ink-jet shrinkydink, metal chain, metal hoops, clasps, bits of ribbon
Tools: Pliers, scissors, printer, adobe photoshop, google
Time: about 2 hours

I recently got engaged, and am planning a wedding.  In order to reduce the cost of the wedding, I’ve decided to make and arrange all the flowers for my wedding [with help, ofcourse!] … Anyhow, by calculations, in order to make 660[how much origami paper I bought] flowers, I need ato make about 3 a day until the wedding.  So far in 4 days since I started, I’ve been able to make 60! Yay~

Additionally, I’ve begun prototyping ideas for flower arrangements for the wedding, starting with the bridesmaids flowers! Let me know what you think.

Alrighty, 60 down, only 600 more to go!

I decided to try to make a bento [lunch] for each weekday, so i can improve my skills.

I forgot all about my pledge/plans until this morning, so I had to use only food that was laying around the kitchen. My bento consists of:

• A fried egg
• Rice
• Nori flakes [seaweed]
• Lemon bar [for dessert]

Hopefully starting Monday I’ll have much more exciting and inspiring lunches!!

This sounds super fun.
