Procrasticat

After stumbling on some neat artist's blogs, Emily Carrol, Vera B, Kate Craig etc it eventually led me to Steve Wolfhard's Portrait-Dex. A place where cartoonists create Pokemon self portraits. It's entertaining and definitely worth a look if, like me, you just can't get enough of Pokemon related anything. It doesn't look like it is updated anymore but it kept me up half the night wondering what I might look like if I were a Pokemon...

Meet Procrasticat. It has a very stubborn nature and is easily distracted by things that are soft. If it's two heads cannot agree on an action it will not do anything at all. Special abilities include sensing when cake is within a 4 meter radius. It can often be found grocery shopping for things it doesn't need.

While on the subject of Pokemon I feel it necessary to mention this article that was recently brought to my attention.
493 Pokemon Drawn as Sexy Anime Girls Because the Internet that's Why.

You're wondering what you might look like as a Pokemon now, aren't you.

Sailor Bows and Serious Cats

I finally made some more bows. I'm so slow at making them. I get distracted half way through and spend too much time thinking about how to make every single one different. I think once I get to 20 bows I will sell them all on Etsy. This fabric is from the lovely Violet LeBeaux, who is stupid and moving to Melbourne.

I'm also going to make a few more leopard bows. When I'm sewing them I keep saying to myself "Bigger! It's got to be bigger!" This one is as big as my face.


So many possibilities.

These cat stickers are a gift from my sister from her trip to Japan. I love the way they look so serious about their balls of yarn. The text roughly translates to Cat's Letter Seal.

First off, Mums are great, she didn't even bat an eyelid when I demanded a kitty cake for my birthday.

I'm never having a kitty cake ever again. I can't eat food that is smiling at me in the shape of my favourite animal. I should have learnt this lesson after almost not being able to eat one of those dinosaur-shaped donuts.

As for my overwhelming, inexplicable urge to make keychains.... I now have a small, very shiny pile of keychains I don't quite know what to do with.
