nobody@vox.com(Mari) — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 16:09:11 +0000

I found this in my writings folder just now and thought I might as well blog it....it's about two years old. I was 25 at the time. Two years ago, as I moved into a new apartment with my boyfriend (from my little studio), I never thought I would...

So what have I learned so far?...

nobody@vox.com(Mari) — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 01:12:37 +0000

I recently began selling online. I recently picked up the pieces I left in what feels like another life. I began sketching drawings of small things. Things I would be able to make in a cramped space. In a living room, where we ate, watched tv a...

I'm Finally Here, Yet Not Totally at Home

nobody@vox.com(Mari) — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 10:58:40 +0000

I recently moved to the UK. London specifically and although it sounds wonderful and everything what people don't realize is how difficult it is to go through culture shock. Yes, I will be exploring one the greatest cities in the world, but livin...

Striking Resemblance

nobody@vox.com(Mari) — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 21:24:19 +0100

I like the idea of more and more companies jumping on the mobile sharing trend. This new mobile service from Nokia called Mosh has a logo very close to our custom Musicmobs font. I feel flattered. Maybe the designer is a Musicmobs fan!

Sewing Small

nobody@vox.com(Mari) — Sat, 09 Dec 2006 01:25:55 +0000

I recently started sewing again! It feels so good. Besides using a half-broken sewing machine, I don't have much space to work with so I need to sew small. I went to trusty old del.icio.us (big fan) and found a couple of free patterns to some ve...

Kink

nobody@vox.com(Mari) — Thu, 16 Nov 2006 19:34:20 +0000

Toby recently bought me a book at our local used book store called Kink by Kathe Koja. I had been telling him I wanted to read Going Under by the same author but didn't find it there. So far I'm happy with it because I haven't put it down. T...

Taking Out the Trash

Or getting rid the goods you don't need to make you a wad load of cash. Superb idea! I remember doing this in Phoenix and WOW! I had never heard my Laney amp sound so good before I had someone check it out to buy. That was an eye(ear) opener.

Dulce de Calabaza

nobody@vox.com(Mari) — Fri, 27 Oct 2006 19:29:39 +0100

Every year for Halloween I try to make Mom's Dulce de Calabaza. She gave the me recipe a few years ago and ever since I have enjoyed making it. Dia de Muertos is probably the holiday I like the most, because it reminds me of living in Mexico. ...
