Recently I was telling Amy about what a difficult time I had trying to insert an invisible zipper. I told her I had purchased a plastic foot for my machine. She turned ghostly white and said in a very grave manner, “Metal. You need a METAL foot.” So, being a good soldier, I marched off to the local sew & vac and bought a metal foot for my machine.
Is it wrong to adore Trader Joe’s so much? They have such good deals and tasty foods, and hey, they just came out with a matcha baking mix, so what’s not to love? Here’s my latest TJ’s addiction:
Well hello! I have some superbuzzy news for you. We got in two bolts of new fabric today. Here is a terribly blurry photo of them:
I got my very first Angry Chicken mailorder package today! Now tell me again why I waited so long to get one? Oh, right, it’s because all you nutty bloggers out there bought up all the copies before I could get my order in! Well, thank goodness I was finally able to get in on the mailorder action! That Amy is certainly very clever, and mailorder is full of goodies. I had been thinking about making pumpkin cake recently, so you can imagine my delight when I noticed the mailorder recipe was pumpkin spice cake. I promptly whipped it up, and yes, it’s delicious and spicy!
Sorry for the lack of blogging. I was sick in bed all day yesterday with what I think is a sinus infection, and then this morning I ran the Portland Marathon. I don’t recommend running a marathon while ill, but sometimes you just have to do what you have to do. I actually did better than I had anticipated, so I guess antibiotics aren’t all bad! Hope everyone had a good weekend!
I love how there are always discoveries to be made, especially when they’re unexpected. I have been searching far and wide for cubyrop candies ever since Anjali featured them on her blog (if you are a fan of Japanese candy, you must tune in for her Japanese Candy Fridays). I had searched in vain until today! I found them at an Asian supermarket not far from my house. It specializes in Chinese and Vietnamese food, so I never thought I’d find these coveted little Japanese candies there.
Hey all! Thanks for all your interest in the latest items we’ve added to superbuzzy. I think you’ll be pleased with the quality!
So here’s the thing–this morning an order we’d been waiting for arrived. They are really cute cross-stitch kits. We have little tags/labels and buttons (or ponytail holders. The kits come with the elastic!). Check these out:
Hey friends! We (okay, so Kelly) just updated the superbuzzy site, so please take a look if you’re interested. We got quite a few kitchen-themed fabrics as well as some gorgeous cotton lawn with a floral design. We also got a bunch of fun, sturdy trims. And for you canvas freaks, we got a nice, heavy canvas with a map of London on it. I can just see the totes now!
Alison was the first person Carolyn and I met when we landed in Australia last spring, and she was so gracious and fun that we didn’t really want to leave! She was pregnant with baby #2 at the time, but she wasn’t yet showing. Fast forward six months, and Alison is about to have the baby. Cari organized a cybershower for her, so I broke out the freezer paper and stenciled a couple layette dealies:
