CRAFTS ON THE CORNER 2010

Hooray! Last weekend I was in my first ever crafts fair in Bolivar, TN! I set out everything Abstract Energy Studios had to offer: my food jewelry, ArtCandles, and acrylic paintings! It was a fun time and a great start for my fledgling business! I will definitely be back next year!

Guess what?! I'm Engaged!

Yes that's right! He proposed on September 25th, but I've been so busy I just now got a chance to post about it! Yoshi and I are getting married! :)

My new favorite meal!

Call me weird. But I think I'm on to something with this.

You know how sushi originated from bits of fish being "accidentally" mixed with rice?

Well I have concocted some type of sushi 2.0 with fruit (no fish involved with this mixture, don't start to get grossed out), brown rice, and vanilla soy milk.

For some reason I find this mixture so delicious and good! It eats like cold cereal with the warmth and creamy texture of oatmeal. It might be a bland for some (because I don't add sugar to anything if I can help it), but I find that the vanilla soy milk adds just the right amount of sweetness. Here's what I do if any of you brave souls would like to try it:

1. cook some boil-in-bag brown rice in the microwave for 10 minutes
2. While the rice is still hot, add some fresh blueberries and mix in.
3. Then pour some vanilla soy milk over the rice like cereal.

optional: heat everything up again so the milk will be warm.

To me this tastes like a blueberry muffin. I bet it would be wonderful with some whole grain oats.

HUGE mug-a-coffee!!!

Okay..not sure on the size of this thing, but I just filled a canister with coffee and I am now proceeding to drink it. Hopefully this will not make me too jittery for my next two classes, but in all honesty it probably will.

Yoshi and I spent last night playing tennis and discussing philosophy. Oh, how I have always loved philosophy. In my younger years I devoted entire blogs to the subject, but alas, I am now what they call a "closet philosopher". Who knows? Maybe I will resurrect the notion here on this little bloggy. After all, isn't the "art of living" a philosophy in itself? Let's see what I can do...

If you haven't checked out my new business website by now, you really should! Just click here!
I make cute food jewelry out of polymer :)

Here's one of my handmade necklaces I wore today. It's so fun to wear these things because you always get questioned about them- they're just so different! :) Anyways, here's two pics of my Neapolitan Ice Cream Cone necklace:
It also comes as a little cell phone or camera charm too!

Toodles everyone!

School and sales

Hey everyone! Since I haven't updated in a while I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm back in school and that I've started up my business finally! Here's my website: www.abstractenergy.webs.com
Right now I'm specializing in kawaii food jewelry and charms! I've got a nice catalog on my webby. :)

Speaking of kawaii, check out the super cute Ebi Sushi Charm I made myself for my USB flash drive!!

You can have one too, just ask! I make them into earrings and necklaces as well. :)

Hope everyone is looking forward to a happy fall! I know I am.

Texas Day 6

Thursday- Breakfast at Aunt Ruby's- chocolate gravy with biscuits, eggs, and bacon. Skating sucked at first- tons of kids scattered like mines in a minefield. One tripped me then laughed about it (annoying). One by one the kids left and I got the owner to play 1920's Big Band music. It was so fun and happy. Then we had fuddrucker's! (Weinerschnitzel for lunch) Afterwards Yosh and I watched anime (MAR to be exact). We're having a Krispy Kreme donut off the hotlight for the first time tonight (sadly this did not happen). Tomorrow we leave for Abilene!

Texas Day 5

Woke up around 10:30 am and went to Red Lobster with the whole family. They really liked me! Going skating tomorrow and looking forward to some Amish friendship bread. Yoshi and I got into a huge fight and Mimi and Aunt Ruby worked everything out perfectly! By the end of the night we made up.
