I’m going to Houston for a few days to visit my family and celebrate my grandfather’s 90th birthday! I love my family but not so much Houston. At least the weather will be warmer there than the Bay Area, and we’re also visiting Austin and San Antonio too! Austin is such a cool city and maybe us cousins can catch a sweet concert there. I’ve never been to San Antonio, but we’re gonna check out the River Walk and Natural Bridge Caverns! I really enjoy cave diving and we haven’t done that as a family in years! Any suggestions for dining or hot spots to check out in Houston, Austin, or San Antonio? I’m all for giganto amounts of BBQ!

I would much rather like to travel to Seattle to see the Plush You! show at Schmancy! I’m such a plush geek and a lot of my favorite plush artists are exhibiting there, and they’re all so inspiring to me as an aspiring plush creator! Here are some pictures of the amazing show! Do check it out if you’re around Seattle! It’s through the end of October!

Some day, I’ll make it out to Seattle to see Plush You!

I finished my first custom Ninja Bean for my friend Claudia last night! It’s for her daughter and I hope she likes it! I’m mailing it out later today~!

Have a wonderful weekend!
