Loving...

THIS BAG !

I always feel guilty buying bags because I feel that I should support my own business by wearing my own bags... this one is so hard to pass up ! But much easier to pass up when I look at my bank account ! ha. Oh well I love to dream about what it might look like on my shoulder.. my shoulder is lonely. 

ps. made my first sale !

Adorable : Download !

This download it so cute ! It is a sticky note holder with owls on it ! I don't know how owls got so popular but I am sure glad they did. They are just so cute. I think I saw a real owl once when I was like seven. Other then that the only owl I knew was the one my dad kept on the back porch to scare the pigeons away. Have you ever seen an owl ?? I wonder what the next popular cute animal will be... I hope its a penguin.

Just print it out !

I found it over @ Pepto Girl

Enjoy !

Green Books

I may [or may not have, I can't remember] mentioned that I am living in the Eco House on my university campus next year. I have been trying to like my creative side with my eco side to try and find new ways to reuse and remake things. I hadn't realized how many books there are on the subject of reusing things for making new things. There are so many cool ideas out there. Here are some books I have come across lately that I would like to buy !

I Love Nice People [tee]

This shirt is amazing ! Anyone who makes stuff [or likes people who make stuff] should have this !

Check out the other prints done with the phrase [I like nice people who make cool things]

I can't wait to get home and start screen printing more stuff ! I have so many ideas for screen printed shirts. I am actually wearing a screen printed shirt that Kaila and I made over Easter break. It was quite fun ! I took a bunch of awesome pictures but then I unfortunately deleted all of the pictures by accident. I took a couple new ones [not as cool as the deleted ones though]

Roll On Floor Laughing

Kaila and I thought it was [super] clever.

just some bows..

I saw a really cute picture of a red bow today and it inspired me to [finally] make these bows I have been meaning to make. I found this diy on a Beautiful Mess, you can check it out here.

Here are a few pictures of what I have done so far. They are so easy so I am planning on making many more. I think they turned out really cute. 

Here is what they look like on the back :

Two of them are bobby pins and the other one is a hair elastic. 

I can't decide which way I like it better...

Let me know what you think !

I had an extremely hard time taking a picture of the back of my head. 

Up-close pic of the back :

I am really excited about them ! It will be a great study break activity since this next week is going to be packed with studying. This means that my posts may not be as frequent because of all the work I will [should] be doing. However, when I am done my first year of University I will have tons of time to make stuff and blog, and hopefully start my Etsy shop ! I am soooo excited about that. It is going to be so awesome to have four months of summer ! Even though I will be working to pay for next year of school. I will have to do a post on my summer job ! Wait till you see my uniform [something to look forward to for sure].

Ps. Today is mine and Joshua's 2 year anniversary [of dating] !

We are celebrating by getting a couple of TV dinners..

Well that is all for now !

Kaila's Birthday [yesterday]

Yesterday was my friend Kaila's birthday. I bought her some lovely earrings that I found at the market, but then remembered that she doesn't really wear earrings [I should be a better friend] So now I have new earrings and Kaila has a bunch of stuff I made her. I always feel weird making people things for their birthday, I am not sure why. I guess I feel like I am ripping them off by not buying them something, but then I have to remember that it's the thought that counts. A lot more thought went into Kaila's new gift then her old one [the earrings]. 

Here is the card I made her ! I thought it was quite creative myself :

I made the little buttons and the flower on the front with paint and then printed them out and cut them out ! Then I used the poladroid maker [aka my favorite thing ever] to make a cute little poladroid of us. I was very much inspired by this post on a Beautiful Mess.

I also made her a bracelet and some hair pins and put them in this cute little envelope :

I just took a piece of paper and drew little squiggles on the front with some sharpies [aka my other favorite thing ever] and then i folded it up with the goods inside and sewed up the sides [I had no tape so I had to sew up the sides, but I thought it turned out pretty awesome] Then I super glued [everyone should use super glue at least once a week.. I love to glue stuff] some buttons to the front ! I though this was an awesome way to improvise when you can't afford wrapping paper.

Ps. This is Kaila and I.
I wish I could be 19 with her !

DIY Coming Soon !

I am currently working on a DIY for an iPod case. I call is an iPod case but really you can alter the size to make it work for a cell phone etc. I am going to be making one for someone who needs it for their external hard drive in a little while, so really the pattern can be used for anything. Anyways, the diy pattern should be done by tomorrow at the latest (maybe even tonight). I hope you enjoy it !

It is one of my first diy's so I would appreciate feedback. 

Thanks !
