 Spray can art. Gorgeous.

 Dads are the original hipsters. So funny.

 DIY ketchup, mustard, and  mayo. Sounds AMAZING.

 Handpainted trash cans at Coachella. Loving that eyeball and tentacle one!

 Check out this gorgeous iridescent art installation.

 Pantone Angry Birds!

 Ombre nails tutorial! I really wish I had more opportunities to paint my nails, I LOVE this.

 Kaelah did another cocktail post. I'm dying to try the Undercurrent because I have an unhealthy obsession with blue beverages :D

 Shoe discounts good for today only! GOGOGO!

 Solestruck put up some new Night Walks today! THE TURQUOISE. I CAN'T.

 Win a $500 shopping spree at Solestruck courtesy of The Zoe Report!

 Okay, SERIOUSLY. Twinkie Chan's craft room again. I AM SEETHING WITH JEALOUS RAGE!


Instagram dump time!

I actually sorted out a ton of my yarn and stuff this last week (AND finally learned to use my serger!), you can't really tell, but here's a peek at my craft area:

The hat stack keeps growing, too! More hats go up on Etsy tonight!

Here's what it looks like as of Thursday afternoon. Ack!

Here is an uber-hipster Jade.

Terry and I went out for much-needed drinks the other night. One of my three double whiskey sours, ha!

Today I'm packing up Jade to go visit my Gramma and do crafty things :D Stoked to get out of the apartment! Yay!

Until next week,
Bre

Music Monday #23 - Queen Adreena

Man, I was soooo into Queen Adreena about 7 years ago, I have no idea what happened to make me forget how amazing they are *swoon* Katie Jane is so strange and lovely all at once.

From here on out, if Sleigh Bells comes in first, I'm automatically reverting the the band that takes second place. Just so you know, haha! They're pretty much always gonna be the most played because I ALWAYS listen to them while I'm driving :D

Add me on last.fm!

Shop update!

Added 6 brand new slouchy hats to the shop! I've been crocheting my fingers off! Check 'em out:



More colors will be added over the next few weeks! And I'll be back to my regularly scheduled programming tomorrow!

Music Monday #22 - Garbage

Garbage. Forever. That's all :D

On a side note, Sleigh Bells was cancelled on Sunday due to Alexis Krauss having laryngitis :c SUPER upsetting, I was so looking forward to the show! But, it looks like I may be getting a refund, so I'll just get a ticket to M83 at the end of the month instead! Hopefully Alexis gets better and Sleigh Bells come back soon, I'll totally be all over it.

Hope you guys had a good easter! I'll share photos at the end of the week!

SO STOKED (source)

 Okay, I'm not one to get all crazy paranoid about internet privacy (just moderately paranoid, ha!), but this really weirded me out. Although half of the problem has been corrected as of last week, it's still pretty gnarly knowing that your Facebook data can be exploited in this manner. Yuck! Here's another great article on this from Violet Blue.

 INSTAGRAM FOR ANDROID IS HERE! I AM SO ADDICTED IT'S KIND OF FRIGHTENING. My username is bresus_christ, add me!

 Danielle compiled a list of Instagram extras! I've been super envious of all you people able to take advantage of Stickygram, and now I can, too! WOOO!

 AHHHH LOOKIT TWINKIE CHAN'S CRAFT ROOM. I died.

 Leesha shows us how to make makeup brush cleaner with stuff you already have on hand!

 This neon glitter vase DIY is such a cute idea!

 I made this Muno doll for Jade! It's waaaayyy easier than I thought to do amigurumi stuff! Check him out:

 This Black Milk x JC collab is KILLING ME. I want the Galaxy Night Litas in the worst way!

So this week, Chev gave me a crapload of her yarn and fiberfill, so I'll be making a bunch more little dolls for Jade and my empty shelves and whatnot. My next projects are the Pokemon Wooper and Rarity from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (rapidly progressing into a Brony, here!). I ALSO was just finally upgraded to a gold Xbox Live account, ha! So I'll probably be on there playing Boogie Bunnies with Chivahn a bit :D

Also, this weekend is EFFING SLEIGH BELLS at the Showbox Sodo. I feel like I've been waiting forever! Need to scrape together what money I can for parking and drinks. Feel free to buy stuff from my shop, ha! <3

Until next week!
