The Apron Project #001

As of last year I got a new job. At my new job I may wear a apron that I personal make. This is super awesome for me to stretch out my skills of sewing and design. I am going to post my complete aprons here.

First apron, Nintendo worker.

I really enjoy this, mostly because it's sung and doesn't show all the dirt I may pick up from a days work. It is Vouge pattern 8643. I used about a yard of denim and 2 yards of Nintendo character cotton print. The denim parts are liked with a light cotton. Top stitching didn't go to well with my sewing machine but it made it more durable.

[By the Window] Strawberry Shortcake

Long time no blog. But I took almost all week to create something so here we go.

My Love of Strawberry Shortcake Art and Cartoon

As you may or may not know I am an 80s child. So I grew up with original Strawberry Shortcake, My Little Ponies, and Rainbow Brite. I didn't have any strawberry short cake dolls (I collected My Little Ponys instead) but anytime my family would go to the rental store, I would pick up one of the strawberry shortcake VHS 1 out of 3 times. ( Other girly cartoons or Troop Beverly Hills where my other picks.) When they re-did strawberry in 2003 (?) I was excited but disappointed. She just didn't seem that cute. And I love me cute stuff.  Of late they placed many of the 2003 episodes on Netflix. I really couldn't get past more then 10 minute. It felt like Strawberry Shortcake mixed with Candyland and babes in Toy land. In the past two years they have started a whole to look (see image above) and I totally love the new style. Strawberry is herself in all way, a leader and helper to all her friends. Product placing is just how I remembered it being in the first series. *I don't mind, it pays off the artist who work hard on something they love* I like the new character Cherry Jam and so happy they where able to bring Huckleberry Pie into the new series. So in celebration, here are some Lolita fashions that I think are suited to strawberry shortcake and some Animal Crossing QR codes I made for the new series. (will do old characters in the future)

And here are my Animal Crossing QR codes. 

Thanks So much. Will bring more cute blog soon. 

-I hope more then once a month-

Planning Stages

For the past few weeks I have been working and planning my spring fashion wants. With spring I realized I need to toss and replace a lot of my make-up. I'd rather be safe then sorry. I can't afford to be sick, so its best to replace make-up. Do to having a tight budget I can't go to Sephora a lot and get the prime make-up I want. But I have at least a good lip gloss, blush and primer. Eye make-up I get target and stick with maybelline or revlon. Target also has a brand called Pixie, and I really enjoy there eye pencils. Dark and bold like liquid but easy to place on as its a pencil. I really like a light tone of make-up on so don't place much on and stick to "light" weight make-up. I do wear false lashes for photo shoots. I have a nice lenght of lashes but they aren't very thick so helps to wear fake ones.

It amazing all the things that go into fashion photos. I give the Japanese snap models loads of admiration because most of them do everything themselves, choose there cloths, make-up and all around look. How I do things, I do all that and make my own outfits. I'm crazy, yes, that what you get for being an artist.

Changing Track

Ok, the theme of the day, not going to work.

So this is now going to be my fashion rambles and such stuff.

I will talk my own personal fashion makes and preference. I am influenced by everyone. I like to be very open but usually stick to elegant + cute = Little Katie. I still will keep post short and simple. I will most likely go off on something I think I want to add to my wardrobe or I will post a snap shot of something I'm wearing.

Here is what I made for mother's day.

Made the dress myself, wig is from www.gothiclolitawigs.com , hair crown and flowers from hobby lobby and the necklace was a find at a local store.
