Three Things

The BEST homemade chocolate cream pie I've EVER TASTED. I also had some delicious apple pie, homemade as well.

Some pineapple frozen yogurt. Lighting was gross. :p Wearing my wire ring (tutorial).

Cool blue bottle, used for decoration in a store.

Byeee.

Taking my Time

I'm not gone completely. Don't worry. I'm taking my time. I'm not gonna spend all my time on the blog, but I won't leave forever yet. I might do some hair tutorials, and I'm experimenting with beachy waves. :)

Thanks guys. Peace out, yo.

Update + Recipes I Want to Try

Sorry I'm a bad blogger. April Fool's! I'm the greatest blogger EVER! Lol, jk. But seriously, sorry. I'm lazy and busy and... Yep. So I won't be checking in as often as I used to (which wasn't even a lot, but more than i do now). Sorry. Anyways, here are some recipes I wanna try from my Pinterest board.

1. Peach crisp. I made this once with my mumma and it was sooooooo good.

2. Chocolate sheet cake. I need this.

3. Rollo cookies. I can only imagine... because I'm probably never going to make them.

4. Fudge cookies. Seems easy. And scrumptious. And healthy, obviously.

5. Soft pretzels. I love soft pretzels. If you made me these you'd be my BFF. Maybe. Or maybe I'd just take the pretzels and run.

Thanks for lookin'!

Version Aye-Aye-Aye: Braided Headband Tutorial

Made another one. I like experimenting. Version aye-aye-aye--or, version III. 3, if you don't know Roman numerals. For this one, it's a double strand, and it seems to hold up my hair better, because there's a strand for the back and a strand to hold up the front. No elastic. Just some really stretchy jersey.

Sorry for the crummy photos. I use my ipod cam because it's convenient.

I used some 60" wide jersey. Cut 3 1/2" strips. So you have 3 strips that are 1/2" x 60." Tack the ends together with a few stitches or a safety pin and braid till you run out. Tack/safety pin the ends so it doesn't unravel. Now loop it around your head twice, stretching it tightly. Overlap the ends, and handsew where they all cross.

Now, using the excess braid, loop it around and pull through to make a loose knot. Repeat till there are 3-4 loose knots. Now pull the excess braid through the knots to the opposite side, and pull all the knots tight. Trim excess braid. You can tack it in place with a few stitches, if you wish, and you're done!

And, just 'cuz...

I

U.

Yes I do.

And also because I think my mumma's buttery cheese sandwiches are delicious and need some spotlight...

Thanks for reading!

Nice and New

I got a new water bottle for school! It's one of those Lifefactory bottles; the glass ones with silicon sleeve. Love that I don't have to use a plastic bottle anymore. You should totes get one. I feel so cool drinking from a glass bottle (y'know, more cool than I usually am) 'Kay. See ya, peeps.

WIW: Rainy and Blue

Rainy day... and wearing blue. Yep, a very creative title. This isn't even an outfit worth writing a post for, but here it is. What I wore:

Rain Jacket: Nordstroms; Cardigan: Nordstroms; Shirt: Gap; Jeans: Old Navy; Scarf: knitted by me (pattern here)

Under the jacket is a light cardi and striped tee. Very comfy.

But if you want to be a little warmer, throw on a chunky cowl.

Have a nice night. Keep warm, mmkay?

Racerback

It's getting warmer. I'm thinking about racerback tank tops again. Flowy ones, of course, this time. Like this.

(via)
Sorrrry, that's all for now. Don't worry, I'm going to sew some stuff soon. Hopefully. 'Kay, bye.

(o^__^)o

Inspired

I'm starting to become more inspired again. Sewing thoughts are swirling through my brain... (yes, I do think about sewing before going to sleep; don't judge)

I saw this poncho at Nordstroms the other day. Looks like a slice of pie (or piece of cake. whatever you want to call it).

I want to make this. I love the drape-drape of it.

Big, fat, green grapes. Just because.

Three Things, plus 2 Others

Haven't shown you this, but I made it back in December when I was obsessed with ear warmers. Mustard bow... I love the color. CO 13 sts with size 10 needles. Original pattern here.

Cherry blossoms--or something like them. They look like it, at least.

3 things from Pinterest (which technically makes it 5 things, but oh well...). For some reason, though, the new Blogger doesn't do the HTML/embedded button things well, so I'll just link here.

Cool dress. I love silver; I think it's prettier than gold.

Ponytail tutorial:

This makes me laugh. I love Harry Potter. And have you seen the Hunger Games trailer? It looks sooo good! I hope it is; the only other time I've gotten this excited about a book/movie is Percy Jackson (which, to me, was a disappointment... maybe I'll do a rant on that someday...) and HP7. Actually, I'm sure I've been excited about other book/movies, but I can't remember any. (via)

Not too much creative stuff goin' on. Relaxing and taking my time... y'know, breaks between homework.

Have a nice day! And if you don't, well... sorry?

Awkward + Awesome

Awkward

So I went into the bathroom to text my mom because I'd forgotten my lunch (shhh!!!), and when I got there I locked myself in a stall. There were a couple people outside. When I came out of the stall, one girl was there. We both kinda stared at each other, and then (this just proves how awkward I can be)...

Me: If you're wondering why I didn't flush, it's because I didn't go.

Girl: ...what?

Me: I didn't want you to think I didn't flush or wash my hands.

Girl: Oh. Okay.

Me: Bye!

I'm serious; that's how it went.

Awesome

-I've learned a practically flawless technique for curling my hair. Too bad not like this...

-If you want to help me buy some supplies, I'd be really grateful... so I've added a donate button to the side bar. :) Plus, then I'll be able to make more tutorials. Thanks!
