Apologies and Updates

As I expected myself to do, it's been like a year since I've updated. However, I have been crafting and sewing all along. Unfortunately, college takes precedent so I rarely have time to keep a consistent schedule. I will try to be better. After finals. I have three weeks to go. One huge paper, a writing portfolio, and a performance between me and SUMMER.

I cannot wait.

In the meantime, here are some of the things I've done. Keyword: some. I'm literally going to run through them all (way out of order) with one line descriptions and then once I've got time, I'll get back to real posts.

My best friend is the HR of two dorms and I sometimes help her with her bulletin boards. let's just say I was all over this one.

 I know Thanksgiving is long over, but I still love these Turkey cupcakes.

 Christmas is long over too, and I have finally removed the snowflakes from my dorm room door in favor of springier theme, but who doesn't love Christmas lights?

For some reason I used our one hour break during a dance intensive to make this simple skater skirt. Hard to see, because my dorm isn't ideal for taking nice pictures, but you what can you do.

Jumping back to Halloween, here are some pumpkins I made to decorate my room. I had to go outside an hunt down some twigs for these. 

When I went home for fall break, one of my old school friends and I whipped up these ombre spray painted mason jars which now house my pens and pencils. 

My best friend and I did a little room makeover for our friend who thought it was okay to sleep on a foam mattress topper  NOT covered in a sheet! If you couldn't guess, he loves Mario. (More on this later).

I love Halloween a lot, so here's me looking real cheesy with a pumpkin I painted at a floor program. Why I did this in white pants, I do not know. 

Back to the room makeover. We decorated the cardboard boxes he had to organize his things with Mario and Zelda references. 

For the Gala at my school, my friend and I made ourselves headbands since we couldn't find any good enough. 

Here it is in black and white because I look better.

And we're back to Thanksgiving. Meet Sylvia, the prettiest turkey ever. 

I actually made this coat over the summer, but bear with me. It will come in handy later.

Did you catch these hanging in my room in the Christmas decorations picture? I sewed these simple ruffled flowers and am still loving them at the end of the school year. Think they'll be making a comeback.

These washable and reusable snack bags have definitely come in handy. I put the vinyl on the outside because I was uncomfortable with plastic touching my food.

Think back to that perfect coat. I used the leftover fabric to sew up this sweet whale for my goddaughter's Christmas present (and she LOVED it).

One of several Christmas gifts for my mom. 

Michael's had these Marquee letter craft kits on an end cap, and I went nuts. One for me, one for my sister, and one for my home best friend.

One of my Christmas gifts for my dad. The background is a washed out picture of him and me walking into the Daddy Daughter Dinner Dance circa 2001. 

And most recently, I've been altering costumes for the performance I have coming up next week, and working on decorations for the senior dance major banquet I'm in charge of planning. Expect a REAL post on that coming in a few weeks. 

I apologize for the worst blog in the history of blogs. Better things to come.
