If you wanna know why Spidey's looking so worried, it's probably because he's been checking out the cake disasters over at the hilarious blog, Cake Wrecks. It's like Cute Overload , but with crappy cakes! ...

If you're getting married soon, or know someone who is, and you're in or around Philadelphia on January 10, you should check out the Unbridaled Wedding Expo.    Unbridaled focuses on the alternative, the handcrafted, the creative, fun, and offbeat. Cosponsored by the Philly Roller Girls, the expo features local, eco-friendly vendors to make a wedding unique.  Last year's event featured a fashion show with roller girls as models, a pole-dancing demonstration, and free samples of vegan wedding cakes, cupcakes, and beer provided by Philly's Memphis Taproom....

In the slight chance you missed BUST's October/November issue, Lisa B. did a fantastic feature on canning that inspired me to do some canning and preserving of my own! This raspberry, fig and port wine jam was a huge hit at Christmas. Making it was so much easier than I thought it'd be and made great gifts. And although the holiday season is just about over, it's always a sweet idea to have some homemade jam on hand for fresh baked muffins and biscuits. If...

Remember those scary ass puppets Blade, Pinhead and Leech Woman from the cheesy 90's Puppet Master movies? I just found them dates. Sara Lanzillotta of Devout Dolls handcrafts and paints freaky looking two-headed dolls that would give Tim Burton goosebumps! She's also got a whole menagerie of two-headed animals, including monkeys, kitties and bats. Is it totally wrong that I want to mail Ozzy Osbourne one of the two-headed bats? ...

SUNDAY DEC 14: It's Craftacular Time! NEW YORK CITY THE METROPOLITAN PAVILION 125 WEST 18TH STREET (BETWEEN 6th and 7th AVE) 10AM - 7:30PM ...

Years ago when I lived in Paris, one of my favorite resto's was this weird Fondue place called  Le Refuge des Fondus in Montmarte. It's dingy and has long communal tables and the only thing on the menu is Fondue, and wine served in baby bottles! Classy. It's a real tourist trap, but loads of fun, and now there is one opening in NYC, right in my neighborhood! I do love cheese, so I'm super excited to try the copy cat Cave des Fondus, located...

I had an action packed whirlwind of a weekend in London, where I attended the first ever London based BUST Craftacular! I arrived Friday and went immediately to Top Shop to scope it out. It was sort of a much bigger and trendier H+M, and not as cheap, but they did have alot of cool stuff. I can't wait for it to come to NYC-hurry up, man! Then I met up with our old pal Sheila B and the two lovely girls who put on...
