Wedding band...

...haha!! NO!!! i'm not engaged! i'm only sixteen for heaven's sakes!! :) so technically, this is like, a wedding HEADband...but i betcha you looked twice, right? okay, probably not, considering nobody has called a wedding ring a "band" since the 1940's..... :) i made this headband for my brother and soon-to-be-sister-in-laws (there has to be a better way to say that...) wedding. 

her colors are gray, robin egg blue, light yellow, and creamy colors. so all the bridesmaids people (me) have these cardigans that match and then we're just doing our own gray skirt. so. me being the little crafty person that i am...there's gotta be somethin' in the hair, i mean, who doesn't wear stuff in their hair? um...lots of people...wait? seriously? okay, sorry, so i went to jo-anns (i could be happy for life if i lived there with an endless supply of "cheese-its"...don't ask...) and bought a string of pearls (which i ripped apart as soon as i got home... :O) and a lovely spool of creamy lace. (p.s. excuse the somewhat nasty looking girl there...i was at volleyball all day :))

the gray fabric for the flowers is *SPOILER* the fabric that i'm using to make my skirt for the wedding...hehe! so, i just kinda whipped this one up and took some pictures...i always kinda forget to take the pictures WHILE i'm making it, so mostly all i have are finished projects...oops! so, i am afraid of commitment, i know that seems random but i just couldn't SEW or GLUE this baby to the headband so as you see in the pictures, i used sticky velcro (bless the soul that invented it!) so now if i ever want to change what's on top, i CAN! yes! i'm so cool...sorry. by the way: did i mention that except for the band, band, this is a no-sew project? hehe! i'm addicted to hot glue! haha!...no seriously. okay, well, tootles!

Secret Sister pillow

For girls camp, we do secret sisters and I decided I wanted to make a pillow for mine. I searched "cute pillows" in google (my bestest bud in the whole wide world) and I found one that looked cute. I didn't want to buy a pillow form so I sewed my own with some fabric that we had laying around (there's more where that came from!).

 Then, I measured my pillow cover based on that. I cut out some circles from extra fabric (toldja there's more! :)) and then pinned them on. I just sewed a straight line vertically through the circles. Pinned some more, sewed around the edges of the three pieces (the back has two over-lapping pieces for the pillow for to go in) and that was that! Easy as pie! :)

My feet hurt...

So, yesterday, I spent six hours reffing volleyball for a tournament. I decided I'd do it again today, because, hey! it's worth the money, or not. Today I was on my feet blowing a whistle and dealing with angry parents and coaches for a grand total of twelve--yes 12, for those of you who have a hard time reading--twelve hours standing on my feet. This does NOT include the six hours yesterday. My ears are ringing from blowing my darn whistle so many stinkin' times, and my feet hurt so bad I can hardly walk! But, oddly enough, I had a lot of fun. I was the main ref. What I say, goes. And it was pretty cool to be a teenager and having complete control of grown adults! Not that I manipulated this power in any way, but it was really fun to be able to feel like I was in control over so much. And standing on that reffing stand with my whistle and official white polo shirt, I felt like I was on the top of the world...with hurting feet, of course. :) So anyway, I got paid to blow a whistle, and watch my favorite sport in the world, AND have authority over adults...today was a pretty good day...now I'm off to soak my feet in a tub full of ice.

Hey there and hello!

Hola! I decided I needed somewhere to put all my pictures! And just blab about a lot of meaningless stuff, so I decided this is the place to do it! I doubt anyone will be reading this, but oh, well.
