Hello Kitty Dress

I feel like I'm so behind in my blog posting and reading right now that I should perhaps declare some kind of blog amnesty and start over in three months when I have more time. I could spend my Christmas break equally in the sunshine and catching up on all the blog posts I have missed? Although if I wait that long I may NEVER EVER catch up!

Anyway that's enough worrying about my lack of blogging and blog reading - I guess long story short is I have a lot of stuff happening right now and eventually at some point I will catch up.

I did decided it was time to have and outfit post and share a recent something that I made.

I bought this fabric last year when I was staying with Alicia and she took me to the craft mecca of Jo-Anns. It was a pretty exciting day for me, but as you can see, I was pretty cool about it.

I've already made up dresses in the day of the dead and purple kitty fabric - so all that was left to do was to make something from the Hello Kitty fabric and I FINALLY did it!

The pattern is a simple shift dress pattern, because the pattern pretty much speaks for itself and when I say speaks for itself I mean it screams "I'M A DRESS COVERED IN HELLO KITTY - LOOK AT ME!!!"

I feel like my hair has reached new levels of awesome in these photos - Ria had styled my hair the day before and when I brushed it out it was automatically awesome. Why doesn't it look like this every day??

Also look! I'm not hanging out in an inner city apartment building car park! Also I look quite perplexed in this photo. Maybe its all that space and grass and lack of hobos?

A couple of weekends ago, I hung out with a couple of crafting pals to eat tacos and do some sewing and such. These photos are at Joy's house in Island Bay, its so nice out there I could ALMOST be convinced to leave my inner city bunker.

I also had a few very serious grown up photos taken with my friend Jo - these are our "Holy Crap this dress is covered in Hello Kitty" faces.

I'm not sure what's happening here - Joy said "butts together" so that's what we did. I have to admit its kind of adorable.

I hope you guys are all having a great week so far - I will be back with at least one more post this week. It's going to be all about my crafting/sewing area, I'm not sure if that's going to be exciting or not? But I do have a lot of fabric for an apartment dweller!
