My friend Wendy recently raved about the slushy cold coffee drinks at Dutch Bros. Coffee. Now, I am not a complete coffee know-it-all or anything, but I pride myself on being somewhat aware of what is going on in the local coffee world. I had never heard of this Dutch Bros. place. I looked it up, and heck, they are all out in the ‘burbs! Well, today I happened to be out in the ‘burbs of Gresham*, and you can bet I stopped at Dutch Bros.
Okay, so the REASON I am going crazy is because KELLY AND I ARE GOING TO JAPAN IN TWO WEEKS!!!!!! We are hoping to find amazing products for superbuzzy! I have been to Japan a number of times, but what’s funny is each time I get back, I always think I’ll never have another opportunity to go. This chance came up suddenly and very quickly, so Kelly and I are going a little nutty trying to plan.
We will be in Tokyo and perhaps Osaka. I am pretty unfamiliar with Tokyo, so I’m a little freaked out (but in a good way). If you have any suggestions or tips or any words of advice, please share! We’ll be looking for fabrics primarily, but you also know that I am a big food freak, and I know Kelly is as obsessed with matcha-flavored items as I am, so any food suggestions would be most welcome as well. Also, if anyone wants to meet up, please leave a comment!
I am going crazy, but that has nothing to do with these Snickers & Peanut Butter Muffins I made. I read about these muffins somewhere, and what’s not to like? I had to make them!
Woohoo! Kelly and her very patient husband Jerry worked all weekend upgrading superbuzzy! She also added a bunch of new inventory plus some restocked items, so please go check it out. I hope you all like everything so much that you decided to drop wads of cash, because, well, we just bought a new car today, and we need to pay it off! I’ll try to have photos of various stuff tomorrow. It has been quite a long day.
My pal Megan (that’s cancer-fighting Megan to you long-time readers, assuming there are any!) told me the cupcakes at Trader Joe’s are really tasty, so of course I had to try them.
After many, many years, one of my dreams has come true–I have always wanted to give away full-size candy bars for Halloween. As long as I have been of candy-giving age, I have either lived where no child in his or her right mind would ever be or where we had hundreds of ravenous trick-or-treaters. This will be our second Halloween here in Portland, and based on last year’s tally, I decided we could afford the big ones.
Hello all! Just wanted to let you know that Kelly is going to be working on an upgrade to the superbuzzy site, so if you try to visit but can’t, it’s because Kelly is making vast improvements to the functionality of the site. Shortly following the upgrade will be yet another update. We got in a bunch of new fabrics as well as some restocks (remember those cute birds and trees?), so stay tuned, and thanks!
So in my sewing frenzy over the weekend, I also made a little vest for little Paulina and a matching skirt for her sister Lillie. Little P is a rather exuberant child, and it was difficult to get her to stand still for the photo shoot:
I went on a bit of a sewing hiatus. I thought about sewing, but I just wasn’t motivated to physically engage in it. Luckily, I kicked that malaise this weekend.
