Day 2: A favourite movie

I have blogged about my love for Romy and Michele before so I will spare you that... can I tell you about a film I went to see the other day and LOVED?

It was Kick Ass. I hadn't seen anything about it anywhere except for a photo of Jonathan Ross' wife at the premier, withBrad Pitt.  Can't find the exact photo, but something similar to this. Replace Jonathan with Brad.






Then I noticed a lot of my friends updating Facebook with 'Kick Ass really is Kick Ass'!... Anyway, I went to watch and I love it...

It had everything (images from Rotten Tomatoes):
Geeks

A purple bob-wig worn by a child

Baddies

And a bit of romance but I can;t find any photos of that I'm afraid!

I am a love comic style anything (if you can't tell by looking at my jewellery?!)... I could watch this again and again...

What's your favourite film of the moment?

Picking one favourite song is well tough!! I'm going to go for this: 'Galaxy of the Lost' by Lightspeed Champion. Anything that mentions sick in your mouth gets my vote! Also I love the video... it's colourful, a bit kitschy and definitely funky and fun :) It's a favourite song of the moment, not a favourite song ever. It will take a few more years to see if it sticks and makes it to the 'ever' list.



Enjoy :)

Leg love

I am loving day dresses at the moment and am building up quite a gorgeous selection.  I do have very pasty skin and refuse to paint it orange (yes, I believe even just the orange tone of level 6 looks ridiculous) and so tights are the way forward for me.  Currently loving my white tights (have ribbed and lacy) and bright  red ones (just plain)... but just check out these top picks by independent designer/maker/retailers. Lust!




Want! Want! More to add to my 'must buy' list...

Hope you love... xoxo

Great feedback makes me happy :)

I'm not sure there's anything better than the feeling when you see someone excited about what you made! 

Not entirely sure why it's Thumbalizr'd in German...

I got a lovely mention from Pixie, as she's known on Twitter, on her blog. Yay! Thanks so much :)

It's a lovely personal blog about all things girly. I have added it to my reader!

People have told me a lot lately that the standard of my resin work is very good, which is great to hear, as I don't come across much other handmade resin work. Great stuff :)

It's there! KitschenSink in Supermarket Sarah @ SELFRIDGES

The time has come! I did begin to wonder if it was all a dream...

Clash Mash

A little closer...

Eek!

Double eeeeek!!

I think the only thing better than this would be to open an actual KitschenSink concession in Selfridges. Maybe one day... ahhhh... :)

Kate P wins Y Factor 2010!

You all know how Kate P is now right? If you don't already she's my creative friend, the one who I am featured with on page 88 of Company's Annual Model-free Issue (May 2010).

Kate's always sang really well (I met her in school choir / Glee club) but never had the confidence to sing solo until very recently (crazy shit). So she entered a local competition, The Y Factor (Y is for Yorkshire...) for some experience. Here's some videos of the final, she blew us away!

Kate Priestley sings El Cuarto de Tula and plays guitar (Spanish! No end to talent)


Van Morrison's Moondance


It got a bit tense... Baildon is well known for being cliquey and we did worry that she would be discounted on the grounds she is from a different area of Bradford but fortunately sense prevailed and she won!!

Here's her final performance after finding out she won... there's a little crafting mention at the beginning too! Love it, go on Lynne P.


I keep watching it because I couldn't see on the night. Enjoy, she's the next big thing :)

Recent indie snaffles and buys

I'll keep it brief, I want to go eat my Covent Garden Carrot and Coriander soup. Mum makes it better but she's not brought me any in a while (don't think I am neglected...)

Entered giveaway by the superb Magasin (KitschenSink-approved, cross-stitched coolness) via their Facebook page.

Won.
Received awesome package :)


I wear it with my navy shift dress and everyone loves it

I also indulged and bought the Love From Hetty and Dave Swallow Headband

See how well I rock it?


I like my hair more today. What I have found is that I should not straighten it. It looks much better.
