September's Daily Drawings

Hooray for September!  You can click on the picture to make it bigger, or take a peek through the archives for more details on each day.  Here's some of my favorites from September!

• We finished watching every Star Trek episode from every series on the 6th.
• I started my official fan-girling of Doctor Who on the 8th.
• Manske rolls were eaten and all was right with the world on the 14th.
• I wore my cat dress from Target on the 21st.  CAT DRESS!
• The last week of September is probably my favorite week for drawings and outfits for the whole year!

Daily Drawing: 271 | Meowling

These two little monsters have been yelling at me all day long!  Sprinkles has been particularly needy, requiring skritches and lots of treats.  And fresh water.  For some reason, new water, in a bowl that's different from their regular bowl, is like ambrosia to the kitten gods.  Cats, am I right?

September in Review

Thrifty Thursdays
September was all about exploring the vintage shops on South 1st St. in Austin.  Flashback, Amelia's Retro-Vogue & Relics, Ragalicious and New BROhemia all had wonderfully different things to offer! 

DIYs
I shared a couple of DIYs that were really fun to work on.  How to dip dye and sew two kinds of circle scarves.  And how to make custom shelving!  There's also a pic of Sprinkles and some amazingly nerdy collections in those posts, too ^_^

Exploring Austin
Andy and I peaking through all the vintage and handmade that Austin had to offer.  We visited the Austin Flea and met some awesome people (and I got TARDIS blue nail polish!).  We checked out the City-wide Garage Sale, to see what that was all about.  Turns it's awesome!  And we popped around North Loop and South 1st for a weekend of vintage sidewalk sales.

Vintage Ts
This t-shirt was calling my name when I found it at New BROhemia.  It says B & A Co.  I have no idea where it was originally from, but I can't pass up a good initial ^_^ Andy and I do make a pretty great team.

Favorite Daily Drawings
Andy got me a pair of Tumbleweeds cat-eye glasses and I've been wearing them everyday since the 9th.  Big hair and cat dresses are a way of life...clearly.  And this last one was actually from yesterday.  My new vintage dress from Ragalicious is a new favorite!

A/W Scarf Line!
My biggest and most fun announcement of the month, was debuting my new line of cowls!  Eep!  Neons and two-tones abound!  Apologies for the cheesy alliteration below...

Perfect Pinks!

Pretty Purples!

Terrific Teals!

 It's been another fun and full month in Austin!  I know October will just as crazy ^_^  Wishing you the best in this new Fall season!!!

Daily Drawing 270: Scavenger Hunting

[This is part of my 365 project where I draw my outfits every day!  Check out my first post of the year for details]

We spent this rainy day hopping around town at different vintage shops and antique malls looking for nothing in particular (except that elusive coffee table we can never seem to find).  I finally wore the dress I picked up at Ragalicious when I went to take photos.  It fits so perfectly and the pattern is so sweet.  I love it ^_^

Andy and I absolutely love our lazy weekends.  I hope yours was relaxing, too!

Daily Drawing: 269 | Gamer Girl

[This is part of my 365 project where I draw my outfits every day!  Check out my first post of the year for details]

When I was younger, I saved up all my little monies and bought a Sega Game Gear.  It was my most favorite thing.  And since then, I've loved video games.  There was even a three year stint in a past life where I managed a video game store.  Andy has a similar life-long love of gaming and we were so stoked to find a bunch of independently owned game stores in Austin that carry vintage games for every console and handheld you can imagine.  We hit up a couple of our favorite spots today and I found one of my most favorite games...which is actually the first game I ever beat.  Jurassic Park for the Game Gear!  Now I just have to find a new Game Gear to play it on haha!

Daily Drawing: 268 | Fancy Friday

[This is part of my 365 project where I draw my outfits every day!  Check out my first post of the year for details]

Back at my old job, I instituted Fancy Friday.  We worked in a pretty casual place, so it was a fun way to dress up ^_^  Some of the girls would dress up with me and I found a few photos of us this week and it made me so happy!  I miss those folks so much!

Daily Drawing: 267 | Skirt Party

[This is part of my 365 project where I draw my outfits every day!  Check out my first post of the year for details]

Fancy skirt day!  That's two weekdays in a row that I didn't wear my cutoffs.  Hooray!

Daily Drawing: 266 | Forever Pink

[This is part of my 365 project where I draw my outfits every day!  Check out my first post of the year for details]

Just because I stayed around the house today, didn't mean I had to scrub around in my usual outfit.  Pink dresses are for happy days!

Daily Drawing: 265 | Pigtails

[This is part of my 365 project where I draw my outfits every day!  Check out my first post of the year for details]

It was a pigtail kind of day in Helms Deep today.  I've been working, working, working on a new project and taking a little time to skritch lazy kittens.  I love productive days ^_^

Daily Drawing: 264 | The Tenth Doctor

[This is part of my 365 project where I draw my outfits every day!  Check out my first post of the year for details]

So, I powered through seasons 2-4 of Doctor Who on Netflix.  I finished watching all of the Tenth Doctor and I might have been bawling at my desk today.  When I watch a show or movie, I can get so invested in the characters, it's like my empathy is on overdrive and that happened so bad in Doctor Who!  It's mostly Rose's fault...girl can cry!  I'm tentatively going into this next season, trying to be open to a new interpretation of the Doctor, but wary of all the newness.  He even gets a new sonic screwdriver!  Andy actually got me one of my one ^_^

Has anyone else watched?  Sci-Fi is one of my favorite genres of...anything really.  I've been reading only that lately.  And after finishing up all of Star Trek, we're looking for more Sci-Fi to fill the void.  Anyway!  Who else has watched the new series?  I want to talk about itttt!

Daily Drawing: 263 | Vintage Weekend

[This is part of my 365 project where I draw my outfits every day!  Check out my first post of the year for details]

This weekend was full of vintage fun!  Today, we popped by Amelia's Retro-Vogue & Relics for a sale Amelia was having with a couple of other vendors.  I wanted to check out the sale and see her again, cuz she's kind of the best ^_^  I also got to talk with Rebekka of Bloomera & Frocks.  So fun!  Hi ladies!!!

Andy and I poked around for a bit and talked about blogging and vintage with the ladies.  We were in a bit of a food daze from the enormous breakfast tacos from Mellizoz Tacos @_@  After that, we popped in End of an Ear right next door for the first time.  How is everything on South 1st so awesome?

PS: The dress I wore today was one of my Grandmother's from the 50s.  It's one of my absolute  favorites.

Daily Drawing: 262 | Kitten Dresses Forever

[This is part of my 365 project where I draw my outfits every day!  Check out my first post of the year for details]

You guys.  This is very important.  There's a pink dress with cats all over it at Target right meow.  I'm SO HAPPY!

Daily Drawing: 262 | Rainy Days

[This is part of my 365 project where I draw my outfits every day!  Check out my first post of the year for details]

The gloom and doom of the week's weather finally broke and gave us thunderstorms all day.  But that meant a day at home for organization and petting sweet kittens.  I just put on Netflix and puttered around the house for most of the day ^_^

Daily Drawing: 261 | Visiting Bespin

[This is part of my 365 project where I draw my outfits every day!  Check out my first post of the year for details]

Andy and I picked up Animal Crossing after a couple of months of not playing and omg there were so many weeds to pull!  And I had bedhead.  Lame!  We're taking much better care of our town, Bespin ^_^

Daily Drawing: 260 | Phone Calls and Friends

[This is part of my 365 project where I draw my outfits every day!  Check out my first post of the year for details]

I love long chats on the phone with friends!  And I love the internet even more for introducing me to some of my favorite people ^_^

Daily Drawing: 259 | Bad Kitten

[This is part of my 365 project where I draw my outfits every day!  Check out my first post of the year for details]

That would make a good band name.  Turks has been running around like a crazy kitten all day.  I've been chasing him off of shelving, stopping him from punching art off the walls and keeping him from eating paper towel rolls.  Cats, am I right? :P

Daily Drawing: 258 | Fantastic!

[This is part of my 365 project where I draw my outfits every day!  Check out my first post of the year for details]

I love Doctor Who THIS MUCH!  I've been marathoning it every day while I work and enjoying every minute.  Lots of giggles and a few tears...it's just the right blend of sci-fi camp and emotional rollercoaster that I love.

Daily Drawing: 257 | Kittens and Sailor Shirts

[This is part of my 365 project where I draw my outfits every day!  Check out my first post of the year for details]

Every time I wear this shirt, it reminds me of this song ^_^ I swear by my tattoo.  Sprinks likes it too!

Daily Drawing: 256 | Ambrosia of the Gods

[This is part of my 365 project where I draw my outfits every day!  Check out my first post of the year for details]

We went to Gil's Broiler and Paper Bear today!  (Holy crap I need to update my posts about both of those places!)  I spent my childhood visiting these two spots and one never happens without the other.  The miracle that I'm holding in this drawing is a Manske Roll.  You've never tasted anything as buttery and cinnamony and soft as this fantastic concoction.  If you're anywhere on the planet, you need to come to Gil's and eat one.

We also stopped by the Austin Flea today and I took a few shots, so those are coming tomorrow!

Daily Drawing: 255 | Bow Butts & Vintage Tees

[This is part of my 365 project where I draw my outfits every day!  Check out my first post of the year for details]

Today, I left my cat sanctuary and go to a real business meeting to talk about real business.  It was kind of nice to feel the need to get back into a business-casual-ish outfit.  I mean, I always like to be put together when I'm going out...but I actually climbed out of my cutoffs!  It was a big deal.  The meeting went well, too!  I can't wait to tell you about my new project!
