Please? I'm always on the look out for new blogs to read, so could you please tell me some of your favorites?
I'll hopefully have another post later today.
Take care, and happy crafting.
Oh yay, I got an award!!!!
Friday, May 20, 2011
My school is out for the summer! I can breathe a huge sigh of relief now. This semester seemed more difficult than past ones, due to lots of outside stress, but I'm better about everything now. Especially since I won an award in my speech class!
The John F. Kennedy Speech Award!
This is rewarded to the best speaker in my speech class, and it's chilling out on my family's mantle. I broke down and cried when I received this bust on Thursday, and gave a happy speech, thanking my fellow classmates for letting me learn about them through their speeches, and thanking them for listening to me. It was quite a lovely experience. I've still got this surreal feeling about it. It was nice hearing 'Congratulations!' from everyone in class.
In crafty news, during my last school week, I picked up a copy of CrossStitcher magazine from Joanns. They only had copies from the Royal Wedding Celebration edition, so I grabbed it, unsure if/when they'd get more.
Why have I not discovered this magazine before? It has so many cute designs in it, and it came with a stitch kit for a pincushion, which I'm slowly working on. In my adventures in flipping through the magazine, I came across a section which taught you to dye your stitch fabric with teas, and had some cute tea cup charts.
No clue what I'll do with it, but I like tea, so it fits.
Are any of you out of school? What are your plans for the summer?

Oh you little Deer
Sunday, May 15, 2011
So, was the suspense enough for you?
Today I'll only have time for 'in-action' photos, as my card reader has walked away...yet again.
But, without further ado, I present to you
TA-DA! Little deer headband!
One evening, I was sketching a deer inspired outfit for one of my dolls, and I fell in love with the headband design.
I thought, Oh what the heck, I'll make myself one. I really like how it came out, and how it looks on me. Heh, what can I say, I like cute silly things. I've made two more, and I'm planning to have a few more after finals/my convention next weekend.
Also, pardon if you experience any hiccups. I got bored on Saturday and started fixing up the blog. I finally have an About Me page! When I'm not fretting over school work, I'll be fixing it up some more, and making it look pretty!
Are you doing any fixing up on your blogs?
