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.

Luggage

A little while ago I got some ticking, and now I'd love to make myself a ticking overnight bag; maybe with some p/leather handles (even though it seems difficult to sew with). A ticking bag would look so cool! And vintage-y. So I've found some bags I like, and if you've seen some you like, tell me!

I love overnight bags. I feel like I'm going on an adventure. I especially love the look of doctor/carpet/Marry Poppin bags.

And I've realized there aren't actually a lot of ticking overnighter bags that i like. :p

So that's it for today. 

See ya!

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.

Almost Here...

What's here, you ask? (and even if you don't ask I'm gonna pretend you did) Why, Easter of course! It's tomorrow! We died some eggs yesterday. Fun! :) We drew on them with crayon, did some tie-dye, stripes, polka dots, etc.

My favorite egg. The colors aren't egg-xactly accurate (lame pun, I know).

Happy Easter, everyone!

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.

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!

3 Things That Make Me Happy

1. Flat iron curls. I couldn't get the back very well, but the front looks nice. Maybe I'll do a tutorial if you guys want. (I'm holding my hair in a ponytail, if you can't tell...)

2. This awesome fabric from Robin's Nest. Isn't it gorgeous? I got some blue and white ticking, black pin dot, and some cool measuring twill tape.

3. Pickles. I know that different people have mixed feelings about them, but I looove pickles. And is it weird that I drink some of the juice? Shhh...

That's all folks. *crunches a pickle* 

If you couldn't tell, that was my Bugs Bunny impersonation. With a pickle instead of a carrot. 

Anyways.
