Hello Kitty Bong

I saw this on this page of a cool website called SuperNaturale.
It doesn't look too hard to duplicate. I even have an old bubble bath bottle that would be perfect.

I found a Hello Kitty Bow pattern. From Melissa in Italy...

She states that it was inspired by Minnie Mouse. But right when I saw it, I thought of Hello Kitty. I found Melissa's blog back in the summer when I learned to crochet. But I found myself there again cause I made a widget on my iGoogle that is her blog, um.... I put a widget of her blog rss feed. I put that one there on my page of iGoogle. I made some of her patterns over the summer. I made the lotus blossom bracelet. And I love the bow nectie necklace. Melissa, you're the shit! Girl, you inspire me. What that really means is that I try to follow a pattern, and I end up with my own rendition every time... It's with all patterns--not just these. So much inspired by your cool designs. But never actually becoming the same. Anyway.... here's Melissa's Hello Kitty Bow.

It's for Girls!

MY Little Japanese Friend

I made a Hello Kitty the other day. I tried to follow a pattern but I only got to the fist 6 rounds. It was not anywhere near the way I was picturing it in my head. So without any delay I veered from the proverbial pattern. It was a diagram pattern--not that it makes a difference. I veer off of EVERY pattern I ever try to make. I don't intentionally modify my projects. It's not easy for me to follow patterns yet. I think of them more as guidelines.


Today is my birthday. I'm 35. I always get really reflective around my birhday. No, no no not like bicycle tape reflective.
I'm talking about soul searcing. It's rather healthy.
