Few and Far

Hello Wide World Web,

It has been a while since I have written in this blog, and at times I wonder why I still have it.. I have convinced myself no one reads it. Actually I feel that me and the internet are breaking up.. really it is such a milestone! I find most of my time spent with loved ones and crafting and work.. Started meditating and finding peace within myself, the past two months have been very useful for me.

Of course I am still crafting.. I haven't been updating much in here, but I have been quite loyal about posting items up in my Flickr and on my Etsy shop. Here are a few items that are new!

Katie Kutthroat is NSFW

I have been one busy bee or so it would seem! The past few weeks I have been at work a lot, trying to have a social life, craft a lot, and not lose my mind.. So far.. so good..

Here are some projects I have been working on, I am really liking the projects I have been making lately. It is fun to just do whatever you want but oh how I do love custom orders too! I have been working on recreating old listings, check it out!

This week I also got the interview from Subversive Cross Stitch.. It was hilarious! I can't wait to see it up on the website, very exciting! Keep your eyes peeled for that and more vulgarity from your favorite foul mouthed vixen!

Weekly Resolutions!!

- Go see Watchmen

- Work a ton

- Craft a ton

- Acceptance

So I am super excited about Watchmen, I just started reading it but love it! I made plans with two of my best guy pals to go see it, now its just a matter of having the same time off of work..

Speaking of work, yea I am still working way too much.. Last week I decided to take two days off instead of my typical one day off of work. It was a great decision on my part, I was able to finish up another custom order and clean the house, get my oil changed and baked 3 dozen cookies!!

The past week and a half I have finished 4 custom orders, I haven't really been able to do what Katie wants to do.. This week I am hoping to creep back into that mode.. I started another cross stitch and I love the border, although it is taking forever! Here are two of the custom orders I did this week :)

Both parties picked everything from the design to the colors.. I just whipped them up for them! Thanks ladies!

Acceptance.. It has been a long hard road for me, realizing that people who I thought were my friends aren't.. The pain is always there, it never goes away and every time I think of them it literally makes me sick to my stomach.. But I am reaching a point where I accept people who reject me, from social gatherings, friendships, etc.. Knowing deep down that I am a good person and don't deserve the rejection, I am accepting people for the way they are and moving on.. I wish I knew an easier way to pass along but just remember, keep your chin up.. life is a rolllercoaster, and I ain't afraid of no rolliecoaster!

Weekly Resolutions

- Finish Custom Order Cross stitch
- Finish Custom Order Scarf
- Bake more cookies!!
- Enjoy Xmas Eve and Xmas off of work
- Spend time with the boy and his family

So I was almost finished with the cross stitch that I am doing for a custom order, just to realize that it didn't fit the frame I had picked out.. BUMMER!! So I had to start over again.. haha! Also having some bad luck with the scarf, I had to unravel over a foot because I fudged it. So maybe this past week has not been my week for crafting!

I started baking cookies, I did some to go to work.. But I have to make more to go to Lee's family get together on Xmas Eve.. So I am going to go back to my baking ways, maybe I will take pictures.

I somehow got super lucky this year and am off Xmas Eve.. So I plan on enjoying it, see last year I worked every holiday, I am feeling really lucky.. Now I can spend the day with my boy and his family. Which I really enjoyed it Thanksgiving, so I am looking forward to it! Lee is so cute, he told me he wanted me to meet all of them because he wanted his future wife to get along with his family. CUTE, CUTE, CUTE!

That is really all I have for this week, I hope everyone enjoys the holidays and gets to spend it with loved ones.. That is what it is all about afterall :D Merry Christmas to all!! Hope Santa brings you what you wanted.

You Are A Smelly Pirate Hooker

Many of you have probably been wondering where the hell is katie, and what the hell happened to all her projects?!? Well people I am still up to the same old, took a short break but here is what I have finished up this week, please enjoy and remember all is done in humor. Let me know what you think!!

$17 @ My Etsy Shop

I totally forgot about this piece, which took me forever, and definitely one of my favs!! This piece is also in my Etsy shop but isn't framed so it is a tad bit cheaper!! Great message, Girl POWER!

Weekly Resolutions!

- Send off scarf from Etsy sell

- Send off the really big piece I just finished from Etsy Sell

- Send off Mr and Ms Pacman piece for Etsy sell

- Hopefully recieve tea towels in the mail so I can work on another custom order!

- Finish the huge piece I have already started, another pro women piece!!

- Working more, need the hours, need the money.. Christmas isn't far!

- Odds and ends around the house

- Try to find a frame for Amanda's custom order



As you can tell I have a very busy week ahead of me.. but no worries.. busy is good!


Sold this scarf this week.. I owe all of that to my amazing modeling boyfriend.. isn't he yummy?!

Also sold this piece, which I really adore :) My friend Bliss has been eyeing it for sometime but it looks like someone beat her to the punch!



Also sold this beautiful piece, I swear it was only listed like two days and boom it was gone.. It really made me happy to know someone else really appreciated it :)



I am working on another pro women piece.. it sounds silly but it means a lot to me considering all the shit I have been through.. I believe Eleanor Roosevelt said it, "A woman is like a tea bag. It's only when she's in hot water that you realize how strong she is." I just really can relate to that, a lot!


I got another custom order from the lady I did the three pin up towels for, she wants a reform school girl one now.. which I am more than happy to do. She also mentioned me working on some towels for her and clothing?!?!?! I felt really honored and very happy :)


Lee's friend Amanda approached me about a custom piece last week, I just want it to be so perfect.. So I am being very picky about the frame, colors, etc. I want her and her guy to be pleased with it :)

Other than that things have been kinda boring, aside from my boyfriend's ex egging his car and then starting a shit load of drama.. ugh.. Some girls never grow up! But I prefer boring. Lee goes to register for classes next week.. I am not sure when I will get my ass back into school but I need to soon!

Since I am a Liar and all..

Nope.. you can marry one, but she won't cook you dinner, clean and carpool the kids around. ha if she even wants kids.

Here is my newest piece which was HUGE.. about 10 inches long and about 5 inches wide.. it was a custom order for my etsy shop.. and I would think it would be spelled "ho" but this lady asked for me to spell it "hoe" and after looking up dr dre lyrics it is spelled "hoe" so I went with what she wanted and didn't argue.. haha why would I, it is what she wanted! yep! my second one so far!! That is so exciting. And I was only going to charge the lady 20 but she insisted that she pay $30.. She also told me my prices were way too low. I don't really want to raise them but some of the new things I am working on will be more expensive because it will be more detailed.

Oh I can't wait to try my new projects.. so much fun!
