I read a really good article by Alexandra Samuel called “Lady Gaga and the transcendent narcissism of social media“. I love her. You know that. She inspires me so much. I stuck to plan and cleaned rearranced my whole room. It’s lovely outside and I could go to the pool but I am to antsy to relax. I wanna do stuff. Once my room is cleaned I can pull out the sketch book and get on the projects. I love being creative and having designs that no one else has, it makes me feel totally unique. I’ve also been looking at machine embroidery designs and seeing how I can create some of my own designs to put onto clothes I already have to personalise them. Being crafty is great.
I would love to wear some Canadian designers when I go to New Zealand for FW. I’m not about to go out and buy a heap but if someone out there is it interested email me. Otherwise, I’ll be decked in my own line.
I was putting myself through Uni when I lived in Australia so I didn’t have much money. I needed to work in order to make it through the end of the year. I got called Cas and my BFF there was Cheryl aka Shazza. I made a clothing brand called Cas&Shazz. It looked kinda like this CAS+SHAZZ. I wrote it on couple shirts and made it on this neat sweater. I wanted a logo you could recoginize from far away, like Nike. My idea was ‘an ass you can recognize’.
I used to write CASIE on stuff all the time. I remember meeting lots of cool people that made clothes too. I ‘ve always have had a thing for that. This seems so long ago, when I really think about it. The time went by really fast but it was like six years. Wow. Where will the next six years be? Where will I be in one year, six months? Who knows. Who knows.
I’ve been waiting for a Winter with my own sewing machine for years. This year, I have one. Mum got me Zoey for my birthday in May. Mum also let me have heaps of stuff from the basement, patterns, vintage lace and stuff. I can’t wait. One of the greatest things Mum ever taugh me is “Just because you don’t have money, doesn’t mean you can’t compete. You just have to be more creative.” Smart cookie she is that one. THANK YOU MUM!
Today I am feeling…

hen I look back in time on my artsy blog I feel the need to create. I want to make things. Creative Case, that was never my nick name but I like it.
