Decades Day!

May 5, 2012 By

Spirit Week!

But my school celebrates spirit week haphazardly.

“I’m representing the 21st century” “I don’t own any neon!”

And our spirit days were

Monday: Blackout day. Dress in all black! I was surprised that more people didn’t participate in it because it’s so easy. And a completely ridiculous day 1 of 5. I wore white, intentionally.

Tuesday: Neon Day. Or bright colors. I positively hate neon. (realization: saying POSITIVE-ly HATE. Oxymoron.) But I wore bright colors.

Wednesday: Decades Day! A lot of 50’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 21st’s.

Thursday: Celebrity Day! I do not want to dress as someone else. And I didn’t participate.

Friday: Class Colors Day! This is always our Friday spirit day because we have a pep assembly.

This is my decades day prep.

PIN CURLS!

PIN CURLS! part deux

Curls brushed out…

This dress is 30/40/50’s, from Goodwill. I had to repair the zipper, but it fits like a dream.

Apples to Apples

First off:

Do you like my temporary tattoo?

DO IT YOURSELF BRACELET:

Who: Me!

What: A bracelet made of cards.

When: I made and finished this the day finals were over.

How:

Gather:

  • 2 Cards
  • Jump Rings
  • 2 Clasps
  • 2 pairs of needle nose pliers
  • A crocodile
  • Scissors

This is what a crocodile looks like. Use it to punch four holes in each card slice.

Instead of jump rings, I took apart a charm bracelet and used the chain bits.

Attach the jump rings through the holes until it reaches around your arm. Then attach the clasps.

And: It was a really fun craft to get my creative mojo back.

Collar

January 4, 2012 By

A Wednesday post? An on time, scheduled post? It’s been a long time hasn’t it?

I spent my last day of winter vacation making this collar. I used a tutorial on Casey’s blog. Quick and easy.

It’s the Hat

December 23, 2011 By

I am not feeling inspired with my posts.

However,

My favorite picture ever:

The Hat (16)

I promise you that whenever I see this picture I will grin. No matter the time or the place.

And I got my permit!

Efficient Sunday

December 11, 2011 By

It sure has been a while since I last posted. This week has been busy. A lot of studying, testing, and stress. There was a lot of fun too, but as I’m in the studying mode I can’t think of anything else.

Time

Friday and Saturday were my days off. I did no homework and it was great. I sketched, put up Christmas decorations, we got our tree, and relaxed. But as the day dragged on, I got more and more stressed about the amount of homework I needed to do, and the lack of days I had to do it. So I made a schedule.

Time

I have it all planned out on a piece of paper. Get up at 6:45, get dressed eat breakfast. 7:00-8:00, read chapter 19 for history. 8:00-8:10, break, eat, get dressed, get set up. 8:10-9:00, do chapter 19 online homework. 9:00-9:10, break, computer, get set up for math. Etcetera, etcetera, you get the gist. I live for these 10 minute breaks. So far I’ve been spending the little time I have on this post, typing as much as I can before the 10 minute mark is up.

Working (5)

And I’m listening to Mozart at high volume on repeat to stay focused. After going through my playlist at least a half-dozen times, it’s starting to lose it’s effect.

Time

DONE! I’ve reviewed chapters 1-4 and I’m ready for my final Tuesday/Thursday! I still have to make flashcards, and memorize them, and do a few practice problems, but I can do that tonight.

On another note, here’s some necklaces a made a little while ago. I could make these all day. But I don’t because making these necklaces is a very long process. First, whenever I find a shell or rock on vacation I save it. And it sits in my suitcase or coat pocket for months until I find it and set it on my dresser. It remains on my dresser until I get a burst of inspiration and turn it into a pendant using wire. And back onto the dresser it goes because I don’t have a chain for it.

Here are the lucky few that made it through the last obstacle.

I might get back to my regular schedule of posting 2X weekly by Wednesday, maybe. You can count on it by winter break though.
