what i've been up to ...

I haven't been posting as often lately. Apologies to anyone who has noticed my absence.

I'm going to do a giveaway within the next week or so. The item(s) will be something handmade by me, like a clutch or jewelry maybe? Any ideas of kinds of things you'd want? Comment and tell me!

I have been craving shopping reeeally bad lately but I've been trying to avoid spending money. I decided to try sewing some new clothes to ease my feelings of withdrawal. Here are some creations I came up with:


This is a romper I made and a little vest/shrug/bolero thing with pleats.

Below is a flowy maxi dress I made of jersey with some cool sheer appliques I cut out.







A skirt I made and me being a dork doing an action pose!


This is a purse I sewed out of a windbreaker. This is what I did with the hood and one of my friends bought it awhile ago! Awesome!

And here's a picture of my dog because I think he's cute and he always looks so guilty when I pull the camera out.


Soooo ... let me know in the comments if you have any specific things you like that you'd be interested in seeing me do a giveaway for. And let me know what you think of my sewing lately. And how has everyone been? I need to catch up on my google reader.

Another HK Giveaway

simple nee is apparently also doing a hello kitty giveaway! hers has 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes which is awesome! some of her prizes include hello kitty for MAC makeup, stationery, and other awesome hk goodies!

Part of the requirements for entry to her giveaway is to say what your favorite Hello Kitty thing that you own is. I am going to have to say my favorite is the Hello Kitty for MAC makeup. I have both eyeshadow palletes, the pink, white and gray nail polishes, a lipglass, a lipstick and the HK doll! The packaging for all of the MAC stuff was ADORABLE. I don't think I've thrown any of it away yet and I got it in February. So ... yeah. lol

Here's a stock photo which features some of the stuff I own! I don't have the bracelet or the brushes, unfortch.


Go check out simple nee's blog to enter the giveaway also!

Diana of our city lights is doing a sweet marc by marc jacobs giveaway! uhh ... awesome! don't enter it cuz i need to win it, plz k thx (; Her blog is very adorable and she has awesomely generous giveaways!

My first giveaway!

So I am doing a give away and there are a couple reasons for this.

1) I really like sending things via snail mail and I have all this really cute Hello Kitty stuff that I would be happy to give away.
2) I wouldn't mind a few more readers on my blog (:

So here are the deets:

The winner of my Hello Kitty Giveaway gets a small HK notebook (Why yes, Hello Kitty IS riding a unicorn on the cover), HK pencil pouch, 3 HK pencils, HK eraser, HK pencil sharpener and my favorite part of the giveaway, a brand new never opened bottle of Hello Kitty for MAC nail polish in "Something About Pink."

There are three ways to enter.

I. The easiest way is to simply comment on this blog post.

II. A second way is to mention this giveaway in your blog with a link to this post.

III. A third way is to tweet about this giveaway (Add me on twitter if you haven't already!)

And there's actually a fourth way too but that requires you naming your firstborn after me .....

You can enter up to 3 times from now until June 3. I'll pick the winner randomly on June 4 (If you win then I'll let you know so you can tell me where to send it to [I'll send it wherever you are, even outside the US]).

Anyway, I hope you enter my first giveaway and spread the word! Sorry this is a kinda gender specific giveaway (: but it's open to all! (ScoMan? Eh?).

Happy Wednesday everyone!

OH PS. Please let me know how many entries/which ways you're entering the contest in yr comment plz, thx!
