Rundle Mall Project; March 2011

Hey everyone in my email!

Just spreading the word that there is going to be a couple of parades on March 25th (Friday) and March 26th (Saturday) in Rundle Mall with my dress inspired by the sweet and quirky James Place, just off Rundle Mall!
There are some teaser images if you follow the link; but my favourite image is the Coffee Pot sign!

I worked with the wonderful Patricio from Chile for this assignment - we ended up branching off and making 2 dresses from the same inspiration and hopefully after the parades I can send you out some photos, because his was incredibly beautiful too!!
If you don't fancy these emails, hit me back -- it's not a problem if you don't want them!  BUT if you want more?
Join my FACEBOOK group and I also have a blog (www.misskate.com) which I'm trying to use more frequently....

Happy Long Weekend one and all!!

MISS KATE xx

Ideas for ink;

Will be getting a sentimental piece down;
But what about this for funzies?

 

I still miss you.
With scarabs and scars;

Missing Miss Molly.

It's really hard for me to think about this let alone write about it.
But we lost Molly on the 19th of February.
She went to sleep and didn't wake up....

She was little sister to me and my sister Sarah;
Best friend to Mum and Dad; and well, all of us really.

She was on her little pillow next to Mum and Dad's bed;
with Dad after he got home from work....

It was peaceful.

RIP MOLLY:  Oct 1995 - Feb 2011

But my heart is still feeling absolutely smashed up and stomped on and bleeding and hurting.

I miss her so much.

The original sketch of my Rundle Mall dress....
Before I ruined it by trying to colour it in.  Scowl.

Spotted leggings?  I think so!

Not related to V-day, but...

I am currently reading 1000 ideas by 100 designers.
There is basically one they all say.
Don't compromise yourself and stay inspired.

As above... x

Big Day Outen.

We went old school disposable camera.

Enjoy!!

Accolades, Donations and Collaborations...

Okay.
So maybe I have been procrastinating a little over these holidays;
Fashionably of course!
I just got a phone call and the amazing project/competition I entered and worked on with Sarie, Mishka and Brent came runner up!
Stoked and I really can't wait for what the rest of this year has in store!

Made a few changes in MissKateLand:
♥  I am currently bellydancing with the Babylonia Tribe,
♥  I have started donating blood and plasma again, costs nothing but feels so great!
♥  Gutted and reorganized sewing room/studio.  Need more wallspace!
♥  Also put down a deposit on a new Overlocker!
♥  Finally attacking my reading pile.
♥  Changing my hair colour; TBC!!
♥  I have also taken on two new kitten lovers: Phillip and Dennis
♥  You should check out this amazing Turkish Fashion/Art/Everything Blog! x

Now I shall get back to watching Machete and flicking thru French Vogues, it's research!!.... xx

The 13th of January;

It's already too far into January.

Where has this year gone already?

I think this is a wonderful idea;
And I'm also going to make a large donation here.

This is the most fashionable shade of fluoro yellow;
Good on you mate.

Thinking of you.... x
