Make at MADE

The workshop at MADE was a fun one yesterday – thanks to all who came out to play. We made many, many V-day cards and love letters. We looked at poems, quotes and craft materials for our inspiration. There will be more opportunities in 2010 to pop in for a workshop at MADE. Hop over to their site and join the mailing list so that you are informed or subscribe to my list and I’ll let you know. Get inspired here though and get to making your own love notes! Here’s some pics from the day.

local eats

Finally made it to Lo Lo’s Chicken and Waffles and none too soon as they are about to be featured on a TLC show about comfort food. That means the place will be packed and they’ll have to start taking reservations. Eight of us went together to this fun local dive and we all really enjoyed the waffles and the chicken. The sides were mediocre but hey if you just eat what they tell you to  – the chicken and the waffles your fine! Afterward we ventured around the corner to the Papago Brewery. I thoroughly enjoyed my coconut and coffee stout mmmmmm . . . . . beer dessert!

Modified Moment

Modified Arts re-opened this weekend with a shiny new space. It is clean, smells good and looks better then ever. The husband and wife team of Adam Murray and Kim Larkin have taken over as the new program directors. I am imagining at this point their fingers must be bloody because the space looked completely different then I have ever seen it. Great job guys! I am looking forward to what is to come for this space. Some pics of the opening and the new space.
