It's the Little Things


  • This week was end of term.  It was sooo stressful!
  • I had a bug AP Art project due.  I stayed up until 3 a.m. finishing it.
  • It snowed on my AP Art project.  Now there's a mystery blob on it.
  • It snowed.  This is horrible!
  • I bought fabric for my sewing project I am competing with.  I know I said no hints but I will give you one:  SIX YARDS
  • My sister has her first-ever cheer competition this morning!  Good luck Avery!
  • I have kept my room clean all week.  This is huge for me on it's own but it is even better because I have been so busy!

What I Wore: 10-25-12

 It snowed yesterday.  It snowed yesterday.  I just wanted to crawl back into bed and cry.  As usual, Utah has found pleasure of skipping Fall for the most part and throwing me into a winter I do not want.  Can I just hibernate?

Weekly Craft: Crocheted Backpack!!!

 I really hope I haven't talked up my backpack too much.  I was just so excited that my very first crochet project is finished.  Yes, I finished others before this but...  This is the project I learned how to crochet with.
 It is just my style, too.  I love the colors and the fact that I made up the pattern on my own.  I think I have the bug because I want to make so many more!
 What do you think?  Do you like it?  I may be a bit proud.

What I Wore: 10-24-12

 I made a hat!  It took me only two hours!  Yes!  Today feels like a success.  Next on my list is slippers!  I found a picture I like but the pattern costs money that I don't want to spend.  So I will make it up instead!

My friend told me that it was supposed to snow yesterday.  I am so glad it didn't!  I would love the excuse to start wearing my vintage furs but the cold so soon isn't worth it!

What I Wore: 2-23-12


 Yesterday I got fabric for a 1950s dress pattern!  I am in FCCLA and I plan on competing in the clothing construction section with it!  Am I excited?  YES!  Do you get to see it?  Not for a couple months!

We turned the heater on in our house for the first time this season.  I am not sure how I feel about it.  I am excited to wear warm clothes and wrap myself up in huge blankets while I crochet and drink hot chocolate but... It is cold.

List of Ten

I want to share what T.V. shows I am currently loving with you guys!
  1. Mad Men- I cannot believe it took me this long!  I am still on season one!
  2. Adventure Time- Yes, I am one of those people.
  3. Project Runway- I want to be on that show one day!
  4. Gallery Girls- I think New York would actually be a super cool place to live. I like how it is about girls that work in art galleries but my favorite is to see the girls that own a clothing and art boutique.  I hate the drama!
  5. Once Upon a Time- Fairy tales rock!
  6. Bling it on-  It is a new show about a seamstress that makes crazy blinged out dresses.
  7. Victorious- It is a great kids show.  I have the personality of a child, therefore, I love it.
  8. America's Next Top Model- More fashion.  I love it so much!  It makes me wish I could be a photographer or model.
  9. Doctor Who- I saw it when my best friends Lauren and Lauren made me watch it.  I thought it was so stupid and silly that both of my friends watched it. I am an addict now.  
  10. Pan Am- The show got cancelled.  The show about 1960s airline stewardesses GOT CANCELLED!!!   I am so upset.

What I Wore: Grandma's Dress And A New Backpack!

 This was my grandma's dress in high school.  I think it is so cool that I can wear the exact same thing she wore at my age!  She gave me this along with a few others she saved with the one rule that I have to wear them to school.  Done and done.

I also made a backpack!  I actually sewed everything in my sewing class last year.  It has just sat in a corner of my room for all of these months because I never bought a drawstring.  I finally got a brain and realized that I could just crochet a chain and call it good.

I took this picture later when I thought you might want to know what the blob on my dress was.  It is a bug!

It's The Little Things

It was an amazing week for me!  I had so much fun!

  • I had Monday off for fall break and I got a second piercing in my ear!
  • I finished my dress in sewing class and got an A on it!  Pictures are coming soon!
  • I lost my phone.  This is not one of the good parts.  I am actually frantic without it.
  • I stayed up extremely late (2:30 am) to finish two AP art assignments.  I was so tired the next day.
  • My art projects turned out really well despite the procrastination!  I got good grade on them and they are in the school display case!
  • I have started one of my dresses for sewing class and so far it is looking good!

What I Wore: 10-19-12

Yesterday was so cold!  When I woke up I knew instantly that it was sweater weather.  This year has been about comfort a lot.  I haven't been super dressed up lately.  I should work on that.

Have I mentioned I got my ear pierced again!?  I love it!  I cannot wait to take out this silly silver ball and replace it with something cool.  Maybe I will put a flower in it like Molly Ringwald in Pretty in Pink.  She is one of my current obsessions.  Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, and The Breakfast Club, are all amazing movies!

What I Wore- 10-18-12

I just wanted to let all of my friends know that I am currently wearing my dress that I just finished in sewing class and am so excited to share it with you!  It is a bit chilly for the weather right now but I really do not care!  I am too happy to be warm.
