Wicked Mint on Twitter


So I joined Twitter a long time ago, but didn't understand what to do with it. Lately I've spent some time getting to know it better (with practice from Facebook status updates) and I'm ready to try it again.

I started following Spencer and Heidi from The Hills and I find it very entertaining. Spencer uploaded a photo of Heidi's hair-do and you can totally see a bong on the kitchen counter. It's since been taken down and I am so angry I didn't save the photo because he took it down when everyone started to point out the bong!

Anyway, if you'd like to follow me on Twitter you can do so right here: http://twitter.com/wickedmint

You can also look over on the left side bar and see all my updates as I post.

Getting Paper Dolls Drunk and Facial Optical Illusions

This weekend was a friend-filled good time. Dennis came into town on Saturday to look at apartments. We hung out off and on during the day while I ran errands like selling clothes at Buffalo Exchange, and he ran back and forth from one potential roommate situation to another.

On Saturday night Dennis and I met up with Fitz, Tim, Sam and Chelsea at The Habitat and from there we hit up Alligator Lounge 2 (formerly Lost and Found Bar) and The Pencil Factory. Fitz' nephew had sent him a school project in the mail. It was a paper doll named "Flat Kyle" and Fitz' job was to take photos of Kyle hanging out all over NYC.

Poor Kyle had to grow up too fast.

On Sunday adorable Andy and Maria invited a whole slew of friends over for brunch. It was really nice to laugh and eat delicious food for 4 hours. I learned that Maria once went through a phase in her life where she was terrified of dead dolphins washing ashore.


They made little mini frittatas in a cupcake tin.

Luckily she overcame that fear and can now bake incredible things like this:


Most delicious thing ever.


...Andy had to take over the cutting.

Preeya made a weird face for some reason and Andy pointed out that she looked like the old lady in that "Is it an old lady or young girl?" illusion.

Preeya put in a lot of effort to look like a witch - this is not even close to her normal, beautiful face.

By Sunday evening I was ready for more food so, after reading a few chapters of The Beach and dozing off with my little Paws cat, I met Dennis at our favorite Greenpoint Polish restaurant.


Our fave appetizer - potato pancakes with smoked salmon.

SuperMagic on ETSY

I have a new shop open on ETSY.com called Super Magic. Here I am selling supplies that other people can make things and craft the day away. All of these items are pulled from the depths of my home office. Think of it as a yard sale full of useful things.

Search the keyword: "destash" to find other people's yard sales on ETSY.

Color Coordinating New Fave Things


I know, I've been really bad about posting. I've been busy with these things: new computer, new craft blog, work, visiting my family, wasting time on Facebook, online shoe shopping, watching American Idol, and hanging out with friends (but on the couch watching tv so it doesn't make for good photos).

Anyway, with my new computer in place I have also been spending a lot of time surfing the World Wide Web. I recently discovered these items that coincidentally all color coordinate:

Jay McCarroll of Project Runway fame has a line of really adorable/weird fabrics:



This pillow sold at Oak in Boston
will be included in my Enchanted Forest room someday:

NEW Cadbury Royal Dark Mini Eggs!
