Don't you just love when you find a new awesome artist? whos work just makes you smile :) Somebody whos work is just *so* amazing, and best of all original (a thing thats totally lacking more and more these days, sadly)



In the new FRANKIE magazine out (best magazine, if you havnt read it, you should.) Is a poster, by the awesome Anke Weckmann called 30 CATS.



Of course, the fact that its cats may help in the reason why I love it so much, but its so bright, and quirky, lovee it.
Checked out her shop and blog, and wow, its all pretty damn awesome.
Her art is so amazing.
Time to go shop in her etsy store I think :)

She also runs a blog called: http://wesaymeow.blogspot.com/


haha so, so awesome, perfect for me, little miss cat lady.
It could possibly be one of the best blogs in the world <3

How about you, what artists work are you in love with, who inspires you? share some links!!

happy weekend

(The little doll collection sure is growing, for somebody who kept telling herself she was going to be happy at one, and then "no more than 5" haha) Oh well, there could be worse things to spend my cash on.

Loving Buzz and bloom, and looking forward to working with them again for 2010.

(My newest layout, for the topic, lists....5 reasons why I love my babies <3)

And of course, looking forward to christmas, well more so the sales AFTER christmas, as I have celebrated christmas already this year with the whole family lunch and presents thing!!
But, laying on that beach christmas day is sounding better and better as it gets closer.

Currently happening in the little kittyrobot home:

Lots of orders, for Kittyrobot on ETSY, as well as our new KITTYROBOT MADE IT store, which is going awesome, rushing them all so they make it to their destination for Christmas (and I hear talk of an Australia post strike next week, please cross fingers that doesnt happen!!!)


Custom colorways are my fave, because its fun to make different color schemes of the same old button, every once in a while! its a nice change!

Once again this year, these little babies prove to be one of the top 3 sellers in the shop.
I love making them, so it all works out lol.


These storybook rings, fresh to the store, as of, about an hour ago <3


Slowly building up the stock of handcast Resin Kittyrobot buttons, for their arrival and upload to the shop at the start of 2010.

These are hand cast with resin, everything from the mold is entirely handmade by me, they take a while to make, with all the resin mixing, embedding, layering, and waiting for it to all set, but they look adorable, and will be so cool to see on projects, scrapbook layouts, and sewn goods.
what do you guys think??

and while playing with the resin, ive made a few personal pull charm rings for my blythe girls, the exact style and shape of the one they come with, only these are glittered and sprinkle embedded and sweeter :)


some other going - ons which i cant share right now, but, time to get back into the busy stuf!!

Hope everyone is having a great december.

Isnt december the most fun month of the year?!

I love it, all the christmas stuff in the shops, everybody all excited, getting to buy presents for people you love, and doing festive things, parties, lunches, you get the idea!

The trees have gone UP.

The babies have had their photo shoot.

So this past weekend we had our family christmas lunch, it works for us to have it early, so work, and other commitments dont spoil it, and everybody can come!

We had it here at my house, it was pink and green theme, and went awesome.

We did the big lunch thing, then the present thing, it was so much fun, and everybody loved their presents, so that was nice. I got a tad bit spoilt by them all,

and i feel so lucky, got a few presents off the wish list, and a few ive been eyeing off for ages!

Like the M-cups. Ive wanted them for months after seeing them at westfield, but kept working out excuses not to buy them, i mean i have two other pink cute sets of cups in the house but these are too cute, im lucky that somebody bought them for me :) now i dont need excuses not to have them hehe.

Now that its all done, we can spend christmas day being bums on the beach, and having a little picnic, and not have to go crazy and stress for the rest of the month, perfect for me!!

One thing Im looking forward to on christmas day is to open and debox this awesome present:


I sorta know what it is already, its a new blythe girl "mitten" one of my dream dollies. i managed to find a super sweet deal on a nude mitten, so im excited, it was so awesome, when i showed it to ayesha, she purchased it for me for christmas, but, since it arrived she had it wrapped right away so i havnt been able to check it out, you would have no idea how hard that is knowing its here and not being able to see, but itll make christmas day special and exciting!

and who knows what else actual cristmas will hold!


Tomorrow we are heading to the hunter valley gardens with my aunty, and cousins to see the light show, over 1million lights, and all special stuff going on its going to be magical (haha)

wedding Porn.

I have been in love with wedding style blogs for so long now.
Especially two in particular:

Offbeat Bride, and Rock and roll Bride
.

Some of the weddings shown are just so original, amazing and beautiful!

I have so many plans for my wedding, when it happens some day (hopefully, if the laws decide to change, hah)
and I know I want it to be original, different and a little quirky!
I mean you only get married once right?! (well sure some get married a 2nd time, maybe even 3rd or more, but, its always the first one that is the big special one, if you get married a 2nd or more well you dont really need a big wedding right?!)

anyway, I wanna share a few pics of some AMAZING wedding inspiration pictures, I hope you enjoy :)




ahhhh <3
