october pinterest projects

Yesterday I spent my afternoon making t-shirt yarn and re-watching Downton Abbey season 2. Because I just cannot wait until January to see season 3. Oh, and I found a girl in my English class who is also obsessed with Downton Abbey. We can agonize over the long wait together. *smile*

Anyway...

I made t-shirt yarn!

I do not have a photo of this, but I made this headband:

What have you been crafting lately, lovelies? Besides this, I am busy knitting Christmas presents. I am about halfway through! *happy dance*

Hugs,

September pinterest projects

Here are my Pinterest projects this month!

Now, I do not have a specific pin for this project, but I have seen it kicking around for a while. Basically, I put scrapbook paper in a frame and voila! Brand-new, pretty whiteboard. This frame I got for free {it was destined for goodwill} and the paper I got for about 10 cents.

Again, I do not have a specific pin for these couple of notebooks.

I covered them with brown paper and decorated that with magazine cutouts and washi tape.

I do have a pin for this project. :)

summer pinterest projects

One of my 55 in 2012 goals was to make at least one thing from Pinterest every month. I realized that I had not posted my projects from this summer.

For my May project, I do not have a specific pin for it, but I had seen this type of headband floating around on Pinterest and Etsy at the beginning of the summer. This thing saved my life some days at camp. *smile*

June project:

I basically used this pattern:

I am planning on giving this away as a sunglasses case.

In July, I knit this super simple headband (cast on 5 stitches, work in stockinette stitch for as long as you want). It turned out to be another headband that I wore a lot throughout the summer.

I took the idea from this pin:

I still want to make a fabric one.

In August, I did my hair like this twice:

 

I like it because I can put my hair up in a bun and still have it look nice.

Depending on what I make from Pinterest this fall, I may or may not post them until after Christmas since most of them will probably be gifts.

Goal #7

I have completed another goal on my 55 in 2012 list!

Goal #7: Memorize at least 52 verses

So far, I have memorized Psalm 119:1-16 and James 1-2. I am still working on memorizing the book of James. 

I hope you are all having a fantastic summer day!

Goal #52 completed

Goal #52: Go one week without drinking soda.

I think there have been other weeks when I did not drink soda, but this past week was the first time that I really made an effort to avoid soda. So, this goal is completed!

i hope you all are having a fabulous weekend!

jacob

last night after supper i was wandering around the yard taking pictures. somehow or other i ended up taking pictures of my eight year old brother Jacob. he normally runs away from my camera, but last night he was coming up with poses for him to do! plus it was golden hour, so that made it even better. so, here are a few of my favorites:

natalia and jacob.

he said, "hey em, i could take off my shoes and socks so you can take a picture of my feet!" he knows me well.

haha...he's such a little boy.

he decided i need one of him pretending to stab himself. oh, my. so dramatic, is he not?

he is too cute with his missing teeth. 

this one is one of my top three favorites.

#2 favorite.

#3 favorite.

i hope you all have a good monday!

bread & goal #16

since i had no where to go today, i decided to make bread.

i made anadama bread:

and white crescent rolls:

i used to make bread a lot more often, but since i have been going to public school i have not since it takes so long. my brother zach told me that he wished i was still homeschooled so that i could make bread more often.

both kinds were quite delicious, if i may say so myself.

i have now completed goal #16 on my 55 in 2012 list!

what have you baked recently?

april pinterest project

in case any of you did not know, i am trying to make at least one thing from pinterest every month this year as one of my 55 in 2012 goals. this was my project this month - a book cover.

from this pin // this tutorial

i made this is my fashion and fabrics class at school {which is now, sadly, over}. i used fabric scrap from the class room. i was soooo excited to find enough of the houndstooth material to make the inside. *smiles*.

goal #23 completed

goal #23: get my hair cut.

this is how long my hair was before:

then, after losing about 10 inches, this is what it looks like:

i had been talking about getting my hair cut for a while, and then last wednesday on the way home from school, my mom offered for me to go and get it cut. i am going to donate my hair to locks of love. i'm really excited about my hair cut. it's so much easier to take care of. i'll probably miss my hair eventually, but for right now i don't miss it yet.

have you gotten your hair cut recently?
