Pixar

I'm so excited- I just love this new cartoon... ''Partly Cloudy'' the adorable new Pixar short film directed by Peter Sohn : shown in theaters before ''Up''.

Be the first 5!

Paying It Forward...
While reading kiss the birdie's beautiful blog and 3 sheets blog I came across this neat little idea and thought it would be fun to give it a go... now I will receive a handmade goody and in return the first 5 people who comment {and commit to the below terms} will receive a handmade goody from me! So.....

Here's the deal:

I am entering into the following contract with the first 5 people who comment on this post and then commit to do the same on their blog. Just read below and if you feel up to the task copy the following into your blog and leave me a comment. I am willing to post overseas (I am in the Australia, but remember you must commit on your blog to do the same to others).

1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make. Whatcha get is whatcha get.
2. What I create will be just for you, with love.
3. It’ll be done this year (2009).
4. I will not give you any clue what it’s going to be. It will be something made in the real world and not something cyber. It may be weird or beautiful. Or it may be monstrous and annoying. Heck, I might bake something for you and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that’s for sure!
5. I reserve the right to do something strange.
6. In return, all you need to do is post this text on your blog and make 5 things for the first 5 to respond to your blog post.
7. Send your mailing address - after I contact you.
Welcome to everyone. I will however, make an effort to do something that you like based on what I see on your blog, BUT there are no guarantees.
So that's that!!

Lots of fun!- wanna play?

Illustration Friday - Craving

Angela loved honey! honey with its trickily sweetness on freshly buttered bread was one of Angela's favourite things in the world! At night she would dream of eating the finest and most exotic honey in all the land, as a special gift from the Queen Bee her self!

Sometimes she would be craving honey so bad! When everyone was fast asleep she would sneak into the kitchen on her tippy toes and reach up to the top shelf of the cupboard for a small spoon full of honey! yum yum honey in my tum tum! she would say with a sticky smile :D

(Process sketch, not totally happy with it as yet, still just playing around with it... will post you update with the final illo at a later date). x kas

My friend Mel.

A beautiful friend of mine sent me a quote today that I really needed to hear....
I thought I would pass it on and share it with all of you. x Kas

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others" - Marianne Williamson

Rumpelstiltskin.

I do have some big plans and creative ideas rolling around with the tumbleweeds at the moment and look forward to sharing them with you all....

Instead, I am packing boxes, bedding, books and bags to move into our new house

Yes. We are moving. Soon! .... Into a friends house while she's gone to Canada for two years after accepting a new job in Toronto. It is very exciting and things are slightly crazy around here!

We are moving to an old cottage house in the Mountains backing onto the most suburb and gorgeous national park with breathtaking views. It will surely be a source of inspiration I can feel it in the air. The little suburb we are moving into was the exact location where the lovable Australian character Blinky Bill was created in the early 20's and 30's by the famous illustrator/author Dorothy Wall.
Also please meet our new addition to the family- and my secret obsession ( rabbits~! shhh) The gorgeous cute baby mini lop kitten, Rumpelstiltskin. xx Kas
