Wowzers it's been a while!
TOo much has happened to catch up on in one post. If i tried you'd all be bored to death from reading. trust me! Let me just sum it up by saying God never ceases to amaze me. I dont know why i ever cry or get down about a situation anymore because even in the situations that hurt so bad and bring you incredible pain and tears, He always finds a way to make sure everything happens for a reason. And more times than not that reason is something i can learn from, get stronger from, and find happiness in. You can always find happiness in everything.. sometimes you just have to search harder and deeper to find it. Let me also say i can never get sick of meeting new people and getting close to and being involved in new circles of friends. That is one thing i can say i am very blessed with. Friends. What amazing people! That is one of the great things about attending two schools in high school and transferring churches at the same time, so many new people with opportunities for it to blossom into awesome friendships.
Lately i've been feeling crafty and inspired to do lots of DIY crafts. it may just be i have too much time on my hands and i spend them on stumbleupon and blog sites, but either way i love it :) it makes me feel like im useful with my time instead of sitting around eating and watching tv too much. Here are some of the things i've found and have tried or i'm looking forward to trying!
- The Doily Lamp Here is a link to how it is done http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/1ZXmCP/www.moredesignplease.com/moredesignplease/2011/3/4/diy-doily-lamp.html
This is my first attempt my brother and i went on a search to find the supplies and turns out meijers sucks. All we accomplished there was gummy worms because you can't go to meijers without purchasing gummy worms. And those punching balloons that are so annoyingly fantastic are impossible to find! so if you'd like to attempt this let me just say head straight for target. in the gift area they are sold for about 2 bucks for 4 in a bag. We got the wallpaper paste from lowes and the lace from fields fabrics. It said to rub vaseline on the balloon before putting the lace on and we didn't have enough so i tried to use as much as we had in the right areas and at night i took this picture before bed and it looked so promising! i got home from work and got out the needle and POP. my hopes and night of efforts deflated right with the balloon. Not enough vaseline and the lace part shriveled up along with the balloon. BUmmer dude. but this means im gonna have to try again to perfect it cause i love the idea and i want a lace lamp in my room!
2. I love this one! it's a watermark teeshirt thats super simple and i plan on attempting later on this week.
3. Everything in this blog i want to try. Shes amazing! my mom said she is going to get a better sowing machine so i can make wonderful things :)
Thats all i have for right now but i'll be sure to keep you updated on how all of my crafts work out :)
My sister inspires me in every single piece for school she makes. Sometimes i get the pleasure of being a model for a project she needs. so i'm sharing them with you :) it's a lot of fun dressing up as different characters.
