prologue

...Apparently I was beading necklaces and making dollies' jerkins before I could string a word sentence together.

Our dress code has always been to aim for INDIVIDUALITY. Put a bit of funky homemade with some of that mass produced high street fashion. Don't get me wrong. Angelica and I like shopping. But we think the best part is when you get home and customize your made in china t-shirt and undies, with dye and broaches and ribbons and scissors!

As I've already mentioned, we're planning on being fashion designers when we grow up. Let's face it the world is always hungry for new styles. To make it in this business you need to have artistic flair and lots of crazy ideas. Plus you need to like drawing pictures of yourself in different clothes. That's the easy part. The hard part is testing your designs. This involves making them. Yes cutting out material and sewing it together. Warning; this can be very time consuming and frustrating.

At Christmas, Angelica and I made tie around your waist aprons with handy pockets, for gifts. Last week I made a pirate cape, with skull and crossbones for Rocco, he's quite the midget buccaneer now.

So watch this space, because one day I might even be famous like that lady with humumgous sunglasses called Chocolate, or is it Cocoa (I can't remember). One day....

But if you want to know what I did you'll have to wait for my book....
