alieums.....what do you think?

dave and i talk about aliens all the time.  he is a firm believer that they are out there.....i believe that something exists out there (other than GOD), but im not prepared to say what it/they are.  we also both really like cheesy sci-fi stuff.....im a big geek for Doctor Who if you didnt already know that.

this video is crazy....i didnt realize that there had been this many sightings....who knows if video had been touch up/doctored..etc...but everything in this video is really hard to deny.....its there in that footage.  what is it....military? special ops? military covering for UFOs?  

your thoughts?

Magda Sayeg you are brilliant

magda sayeg....is nothing but brilliant - plus she is a fellow texas girl!

her latest project is a MINI Countryman.  how awesome is that?

design love:home

im a sucker for home design blogs...which you probably already know from my previous mentions of Design*Sponge.  here are some of my latest home crushes

i would love to do something like this to my stairs when i put in hard wood floors...like use color planks only on the rise of the stair

since i knit and do yarn bombing...im naturally drawn to this. sorry dave, but this will happen when i get my studio together.

i love love love this DIY from Design*Sponge - done with strips of paper glued in layers on a simple round paper lantern.  how cool does this look lit or not lit.

this vintage remake fridge is nothing but brilliant - $2000 Smeg in pastel green.  this is the same color as my Kitchen Aid mixer.  ive been wanting to redo my kitchen in white and this mint green color....but i dont think it is big enough to hold my cake orders....bummer.

 im also in love with these chest of drawers painted with the Union Jack.  I kind of want to do this to my chest of drawers at home, but it wont match the green, cream, and brown motiff ive got going on in my house....maybe in the studio...hmmm

old signage is so pretty.  This "e" is from yet another DIY from Design*Sponge of which im going to have to make a few....which will probably double as wedding decor.

i just need like 3 houses to decorate and live in on alternate days.

now playing:tuesday

This weeks band is

Making Movies

Dave and his spanish band La Sien had the privilage of playing a show with these guys a few weeks ago here in Houston.  I didnt actually get to stay and listen to their set...because it was already 2am and i was exhausted, but we did buy a cd of 'em.....and its been playing in my car nonstop for the past couple of weeks.

As you can tell they are a spanish band....however, their cd has both spanish and english songs.  regardless of language they are great!!!  their cd is available for purchase ($10) on cdbaby .  If you like Cafe Tacuba, Mars Volta, or Ozomatli you will like these guys. 

Dave has informed me that they will be coming back to Houston to play another show with La Sien soon so if you like them and you are in the Houston area I will keep you posted on when to come out!!

fishtail braid video - from Free People

have i mentioned how much i like Free People?  i love most of their clothing - even though i would never be able to afford it - and their blog is always full of fun pics, tutorials, and inspiration.  here in houston its heating up and if you have long thick hair like me you know that it can feel like you have an easy bake oven on your head.  so once again i am posting one of their hair tutorials!!

one cool thing that they did...maybe for their fall catolog shoot?.....they clipped in different color hair extentions and then did a fishtail braid.

  what a fun way to add a pop of color and texture to your hair.....plus its out of your way and cute.  enjoy!
