Japanese Calligraphy in English

Australian Inkslinger, Merissa Walker does a creative turn on Japanese calligraphy and the result is fresh. Her calligraphy adorns spunky cards and cushions among other products.

Organizing Demons

This list of note-taking tools and techniques entrances me. I keep coming back to it and looking for more. These organize-it demons are trapped inside me and I don't know if I can keep them at bay much longer.

Dan was right

I like these D'Addario Guitar Strings much better than whatever it was that was shipped with my guitar.

Pho Cyclo Cafe - Tasty, fast, fresh

Last night we ate at the Pho Cyclo Cafe new location on Broadway (near Harrison). The folks there were so nice and helpful to us (we don't know a great deal about Vietnamese food). We had the fresh rolls and the #19 and #25 (as usual I can recall numbers much better than names) both were delicious and fresh. Iced Tea was tasty, too. It is definitely worth a repeat visit and we are glad to have a new place we can bring our curtain climber to.

Summer Fun

When the sun is relentlessly beating through the craft room window, it's good to get out of that hot,stuffy craft room and into a fast and furious water fight. And these Hydro stiks are the BEST armaments! You can get them through NSR and other whitewater outfitters.

Puzzler Father's Day Card

I made this card for my husband. He really is "1 in a million". The scan loses the nice colors of the card which looks black, but is actually choclate brown. The greens are much nicer than they appear in this image, too.

Tea for two on Father's Day

 
Our Dads love tea so we purchased them some great teas at the Queen Anne teacup, found some nice tins and created lovely labels for (I regret not taking snaps of those). I found some mailing tubes at the Paper Zone, dropped the tea tins in, wrapped and ran out the door. I like the way they turned out. Festive and remind me of bamboo.
