Hello Kitty Balloons

May 14th, 2008

I am not a balloon person really… Unless of course it consists of Hello Kitty cuteness from Anagram… I have only seem a couple of these balloons at my local grocery stores, party supply stores and Michael’s.

Joii bought me the Hello Kitty on the dolphin balloon for my bday last year and I still have it (yes, deflated of course)… I really like the ladybug Kitty balloon…

Michelle got me the Birthday Princess Kitty balloon for my bday this year (Hello Kitty Surprises On My Birthday) and it is actually a lot cuter in person. The image below makes it seem like Kitty has a HUGE head…

I suppose you can purchase just the balloons also… And then get them filled with helium… I found a few online retailers:  Hello Kitty BalloonMini Hello Kitty Shape Balloon“Hello Kitty 18″” Foil Balloon”

My Kittirific X-Stitch Box

May 14th, 2008

I posted earlier in Cute Cute Cute! Sanrio DIY Crafts about how I was going to start cross-stitching soon. Well, I started! But before I even put thread through the needle, I got organized — the kittirific way. I bought an inexpensive clear sewing organizer. I got out my Hello Kitty activity and coloring books and my Sharpie markers. I wasn’t completely sure if the markers were going to stay on the plastic, but it worked for me (a little scratches here and there… I try to be a lot more careful now). All I did was put the a page from the coloring book under the top and traced the image. Where I messed up, I just added some lashes, thickened the strokes… You get the idea…

It felt a little empty with just Hello Kitty so…

I added Tim and Tammy, Hello Kitty’s little monkey friends to keep her company…

And a little cupcake… I think it came out ok. I like it better than the plain organizer it was before… And it gives me another thing I can post up here. It’s a fun little simple project for anyone who wants to kittify something without having to commit too much time (or money).

Here is my progress of the Sanrio Rainbow x-stitch pattern I started… Oh boy! Do I have a long way to go!
