I treat myself to a haircut at @kinshipsalonsf every 6 months (thanks Renee! You’re the best!) then I always spend a couple hours in the Richmond window shopping and literal shopping. All the shops here are just so fun! Not pictured: chocolate croissant I absolutely devoured from @arsicaultbakery the kids were so embarrassed when they watched me eat and walk with it later on because I was dropping crumbs everywhere but I was starving because I hadn’t had any lunch, ok?!
The other week I baked four batches of cookies within five days. This week I have to bake four batches of cookies within two days. I hope one day my job is just baking and photographing cookies all day. Pan-banging sprinkle cookies that taste as good as they look, recipe by the talented [fellow Minnesotan!] @sarah_kieffer
Nbd just posting after a six/seven (hardy har har) year hiatus to share I painted some cards, and you can find them at @caseformaking ’s holiday market tomorrow along with lots of other fun goods, and lots of good people too ✨ and if anyone wants to reconnect over a big bowl of pasta you just let me know. For real. Who needs cookie exchanges when you could be piling communal pasta dishes into a take home Tupperware??
A little spot of magic courtesy of this beautiful Tradescantia, a sun catcher, disco ball and collected beach driftwood ✨ and lest it appear life is all shiny over here, both kids are pretending to be babies and fake crying loudly, and my leg hurts for no reason other than I am old (s/o to icy hot for iconic mint overload!)
A rainbow for anyone who needs it today/this week/the past month/the last year(s) ❤️ emotions seem to be at a constant maximum lately, and if you feel like you don’t know what to feel...I hear you, and feel the exact same way 💜 thank you @caseformakingfriends x @melanie.lan for a therapeutic archways class, painting these has quickly become my new favorite calm activity 💙
There’s a lot of emotions right now, and unfortunately not one clear solution. I am worried for my parents, my family and friends, and even myself (do I feel comfortable walking alone???) I wanted to share a few things you could do easily right now, because I know sometimes it’s hard to know where to start: follow @asianamericancollective@stopaapihate for more resources and updates, find a locally Asian-owned business to support, and click the link in my profile to read @ihollagram ’s guide to bystander intervention. A lot of people do not feel safe right now, let’s make sure we’re ready to help where we can ❤️
I had a great day followed by a sh*t week. I wouldn’t expect anything less for my second pandemic birthday so joke’s on you, world! I love this instax O took of me, so posting for posterity. Also, so many beautiful, beautiful carbs.
My favorite part of spending time with @dora_cuenca x @caseformakingfriends was sitting down to see what direction my pen wanted to go in today. I really liked all the shapes I made [while harvesting my creative energy] and love the idea of doing emotional check-in drawings more often. Thank you for such a great workshop!!! 〰️ swipe to see Dora’s beautiful blind contour self-portrait vs my scary “if Oscar the grouch was reincarnated as a human version of me” blind contour self-portrait ➿ #cfmshareyourprocess
Teeny tiny cross stitch! I’ve decided to prioritize projects with instant gratification so RIP knitting projects 🪨 (I couldn’t find the tombstone emoji)
