Kittys Drawings

AND I’m back online!!! YAY!!

Sorry to all those who came to visit over the weekend to find that lovely “BANDWIDTH EXCEEDED” page. Oo-er!! I have it all sorted now and upgraded my plan so more people can visit my blog. I don’t know how I clocked so much over the past month, it hasn’t been a record month or anything and all my pics are hosted on Flickr so I don’t know what’s going on there. Nothing seems particularly fishy either. Kitty is rather hesitant to believe she is getting popular ;-P

Though I am thinking of changing my header so it includes all the sewing I’ve been doing lately! Ha!

Anyways, I came to talk about something else on Friday before I discovered I had no blog to talk on

On Friday I received this in the mail:

Does that look much like SOAP to you?? Well it is! So cute! My friend Kesenya has just started  Alice Jean’s Soda Pop Shop – where you can get your hands on these cupcake soaps as well as other tasty treat themed body products. She also has cute baby gear AND you can hire her seriously awesome Pontiac 1951 Convertible. That car is CRAZY – such curves!

Now you know I’m not a spruiker, so it’s rare you see these features on my blog. But it’s different when it’s friends…and I’m all for supporting friends trying to make a living from their passion. It’s not too many people that get to do that, and it’s not an easy game to get into. Heck, it’s the story of my life – My parents have always been self employed. Yes I grew up with my mum and dad right there all the time – no babysitters or daycare for me – BUT, they worked their asses off for a pay-packet that was never regular. Some months we’d be rolling in it (figuratively!!) cos dad had just landed a big commission, but we never knew how long that cash was supposed to last. Banks want their mortgage payments on particular days – they don’t really care if you can’t make it one month. So yeh – tough game!

Ah I can ramble can’t I. What my point is – I want Alice Jean’s to thrive…and if I can help by posting on my blog about it, and buying soaps and all the other nice things, then I’m gonna do it ;-P

Cos buying soaps is such a chore

Teehee!

Of course I wanted to test out what I bought and I can confirm that these are great! My one smells like lavender and it has a great lather. It’s made from all natural products AND it’s local! Awesome. It’s almost good enough to eat. Seriously! I want to try every ‘flavour’ – and there’s plenty to choose from. Lucky there’s no kiddies in my house as I’m sure they’d want to nom them haha

Well I better stop rambling. I wish I was better at writing stuff I feel good about!

Other news: Since the blog was down I didn’t take any photos on the weekend. I’ve got SO much to show you! I finished the second pattern in THIS post. It was really easy and super quick to make. I’ve also got a skirt on the go – which used to be a dress but I kind of hate the bodice so I ditched that bit.
I haven’t started my drawing project yet – it’s been a bit of a weird week for motivation. AND it’s my last week at my current workplace. Minor panic setting in. Check back this time next week

On that note – seeyas!

Okay so I’ve been gone a while…and still don’t have much content for you….

But my big news from the other day was that I was going to take part in Melbourne Spring Fashion Week as a model for Super Kawaii Mama’s Vintage Glamour presentations. Woo, what a mouthful! But WOW was it fun! Not too many photos as yet so I’ll wait to post the big write-up when we all get the professional pics through.

More info (and a much better & more timely post than this) over at Super Kawaii Mama

Should be able to FINALLY finish the drawing I’m working on tomorrow so YES, I will have some art up here eventually. Raaar I SUCK!!
