Upcoming Sales

So once again I will be attending fan expo at the Toronto convention Centre, august 28th to 30th!

This year I'm actually dressing up!!

For those who may have seen it, I am dressing up as a character from REPO! The genetic Opera!

I'll be doing Shilo in her outfit from when they are singing Zydrate Anatomy. :)

Whee!

I'm also adding a new show in Ottawa, Ontario...Naru2u! That will be in October. :) More news soon!

And don't forget...T-shirts are now $20 each. I'm pondering adding a new tank top to the lineup...but time will tell :)

Hello gargs and goyles, (sorry - throwback to the gargoyles fandom)

So with convention season right around the corner, FINALLY my inspiration is returning. It's pretty retarded that I only seem to get creative in the summer months...but pushing myself to do things that are supposed to be a fun hobby also seems dumb to me. I have been quite inspired by Twilight (yes, I am  abit of a twilight fangirl. Team Edward!), as well as by the good weather in general.

Anime North is coming up from May 22nd to May 24th, and I ALWAYS have a fabulous time. Even just manning my booth (which is what I do for 90% of the convention...the other 10% consisting of cruising the dealer's room, getting food or going pee) is a huge ball of fun. There are SO MANY GREAT COSTUMES you can NEVER get bored of people watching.

I will be attending again this year with all my kitschy items. I will have new buttons, and I may even have felted jewlery, which is new and exciting! (I say "may" to the jewelry as it is of my cousin's design, and it depends on whether she can get it done on time or not).

So please come by and say hi if you do go...And enjoy my lowered prices - shirts will be $20 this year instead of $25! I may do a special on the buttons as well, but I'm not sure yet. :D

So I may begin to post in here about other topics as well as Kitsch Klothing updates. And why not, right? Everyone wants to know a little bit about what goes on in life...;)

Basically lately my life has been all about losing weight, getting in shape. I'd like to be able to wear my clothes sometime, without having to make plus size versions! OK, mabye that's being a bit exaggerating..but I'd like not to have to wear the Large, or XL.

Or, when I start using more "Found" shirts, it would be nice to fit into more of them! The more fitted the shirt, the nicer it looks after all.

So I am going to add some rather assorted links to my blog roll. Some crafty, some suppliers, and some are going to be focussed on health and fitness. Fitness, fashion are linked, after all.

They're all part of life, or at least large parts of MY life!!! :)

Sometimes you just need to take a break.

So does anyone else in this big blog world sometimes get overwhelmed by the amount of projects they try and take on? I love starting new things...I love the very idea of starting new projects. Sometimes that's as far as it goes. Sometimes I get a little bit into a new and exciting adventure and then wander off when the next sparkly comes by.

Sometimes...you just gotta streamline. 

Take for instance, Kitsch Klothing. I have been working on my t-shirts, buttons, etc. for a few years now. It has been going fairly ok, for the amount of time I have to put into it. I have peak seasons each year of show craziness (mostly spring and Christmas time), followed by epic periods of downtime where I SHOULD be working on promoting my stuff, making new leads, etc...but I don't. Somehow it always just goes "pouf" until next time a shiney new idea strikes and then whoosh! I'm off again!

This year, I am taking a bit of a break, having a bit of a rethink, and getting back down to basics. 

I have fought hard to look like a "big fish" even though I am a little fish. My products are super-nicely finished, very professional. My signs are never hand written, my shirts are all store brand quality...And yet. And yet. I personally am starting to say to myself..."what is so wrong, may I ask, with being a bit folksy and craftsy and...different?"

I'm pretty sure a lot of people think I am "different", for better or worse. But I think it's about time I stop restricting my own creativity, and really have a go at creation.
