Designed myself a Kitten Bee tattoo, based on the creature by Katie Hofgard, with some personalizing adjustments.

Will update if/when i get her permanently affixed to my skin.

The Sweetest Bee

Chapter 2

You would not believe the level of shock someone could feel at one single given second of time. Its probably nothing compared to what Lily felt when the prince of her kingdom came barreling in through her shop door, though. One second she was rearranging some wooden nick-knacks she had made in her spare time, humming one of her favorite tunes, when suddenly there he is, the gorgeously tall prince standing there in all his hotness. Now, about 5 minutes later, she was walking with him to go see what type of destruction he caused to the royal carriage. 

At first it was really awkward. She wouldn’t have bothered to come at all had it been for the fact that the other members of her family, the ones who actually knew how to fix this stuff, were gone for the next few days delivering an order. But circumstances as they are, here she was, trying to create small talk with the prince. “Your ma- Kim, if you don’t mind me asking, what were you doing when the carriage broke?” She glanced over to him, but avoided his eyes. He was royalty, after all. “Well, um, you see, uh, I was just taking it around for a ride with some of the horses, and I think I hit a rock, or something, and … the thing snapped.” Clearly, he was lying. Lily new this. She new he new this. But she let it slide anyways. “Rocks are very troublesome, especially when run over by carriages. They could cause some serious damage.” Before she could say anything else, Kim said, “Here it is. Down there,” and points to the side of the path. 

The path they were walking on was slightly raised off of the rest of the land and lead out of town. The castle and village could be seen not far away. Their attention, however, was focused on the wooden and gold carriage just off the path. It was almost on its side, teetering on the unevenness the hill the path caused. Lily has never seen a carriage balanced like that before, and was in shock again, for the second time that day. She turns to Kim, and deadpans, “A rock, huh? Must have been a very big rock to have caused it to land on the side of the road. Wait, where are the horses? Are they ok?” Kim nervously laughs before responding. “It was a very big rock! And don’t worry, they are fine. I have them tethered over there beyond the carriage. So, will you be able to fix it?” She steps off the road and in a split second slides down to where the carriage was to look at it closely, and slides completely under it. “Lily?! Are you alright?“ “Fret not, my prince! I am perfectly fine, and have found the source of your problems.” 

At the front of the under-carriage, was a cracked axle. It was easily replaceable. Fixable, however, that was an entirely different conversation. Lily doesn’t give up so easily though, so she took out the one thing she knew would either fix the problem, or made it worse: good old trusty wood-specific duct tape. Luckily, it was the former. Very carefully, she wrapped the fractured piece with the tape, overlapping it so it would stay strong, and hopefully last until she could get her father to make a new one. After double checking the rest of the under-carriage, she crawled her way out from under it. Seeing his concerned face, she responded to his unanswered question. “All fixed, for now, that is. I’ll have to order you a new front axle, I’m afraid its terribly cracked, and needs to be replaced.” ”Oh thank goodness,” the prince responded. “At least I will be able to make it back home before anyone finds out. Thank you so much Lily, you are a lifesaver.” “Its no trouble at all, Kim. I am always happy to help,” she says before beginning to climb back up to where Kim was standing. However, it was easier said then done. The grass was still wet from the early morning dew, and she made it about halfway before sliding back down, loosing her footing, and landing on her butt. The prince looked at her with confusion, then shock, before finally throwing his head back and laughing. Lily had never heard, such a deep, beautiful sound before. It could easily be described as the clearest of bells ringing on the brightest of days, or so she thought. It didn’t take her long to start laughing along, her own high pitched giggles mixing with Kim’s long crackle, echoing out into the surrounding countryside.

Hello!

A question regarding the kittenbee kickstarter: Is it possible to add more than 4 pins for one pledge? Bc we're in europe, a couple of friends and I wanted to order together to save on shipping, but we ended up with a total of 8 pins. Would it be possible to have two 4 pin pledges combined into one package?

Good question! You will be able to add any of the designs in any quantity you want once the surveys go out. So the best way to do this would be for one of you to pledge, then add all the pins everyone else wants to that one order so it all goes to the right address!
