Hair, hair and more hair :)

Thanks for all the input for my project! I think I am going to do the one with the Wall Art. And if you feel inclined to give me more advice please do so. :)
Last night was the General Relief Society Broadcast. I didn't go because I went the the BYU football game instead. Which turned out to be a mistake, I should have just gone to the broadcast. haha! Anyways, I watched the rebroadcast today on T.V. Which provided the prefect opportunity to do some crafts! Yea!  I made some more hair accessories (which are one of my favorite things to make)!

This one I actually made it a clip instead of a headband like I normally do.  I  made a flower stencil. Then, I made three of them each a little bigger than the first. Then I just cut the flowers out of an old pair of jeans.

This one is also a clip. 

You just cut out five of these little butterfly looking things from the fabric of  choice. 

Then you fold it over that sew along the open end .

Like this! Then you pull your thread tight so it bunches giving it a petal look. Next you add on the other four pieces and do the same thing! I like to add a button to the middle to make it look more finished.

BYU has started a Farmers Market. And I am thinking of maybe taking some of my homemake hair accessories and selling them. But I don't know it seems like to much work. We will see!

History of Creativity!

I think History of Creativity was made just for me! In this class we are encouraged to come up with a creative idea which we will then turn into our final project. I am really enjoying this class, and it has given me an excuse to do more crafty creative things! :) For something to be truly creative it needs to be four things: valuable, intentional, novel, and excellent. Now I need to ask you a favor. I am going to post some of the ideas that I have come with and I would like you to give me as much feedback as possible. You can tell me anything you want to about these ideas. The first idea I had was to come up with some kind of reusable mechanism to hold your house key to your shoe when you go running. The second idea I had was to make a data base where you can register any kind of electronic device like a cell phone or an i-pod and when you lose it you can log on to this data base and it will give you the exact GPS coordinates of your lost item. Now for my final idea! This one is my favorite so far. I would research how people i past civilizations decorated their homes. And recreate some of them. Then I would make some modern wall art, as the final piece to my project. I know this isn't as fun of a blog because there are no pictures. But I will be better and blog again soon with one of my homemade fall decorations I did over the weekend!

Sisters! (and a brother) :)

This evening I got to hang out with two of my sisters. Lindsey, Elise and I all went and watched Eclipse! Watching the Twilight movies with my sisters is becoming a tradition. I don't know what we are going to do when we run out of Twilight movies! I could kick myself for not remembering to bring a camera, but it was so much fun! It reminded me of what a wonderful amazing family I have. First off I have the most amazing beautiful sisters. I am so lucky that I have four of them! They are are incredible.
First there is Kristin. She has always been there for me. I love her a ton!! Whenever Marc was being mean she would let me hang out in her room. She has also always been such a good example to me!
Next there is Elise. I have always looked up to Elise. And I can't say enough how much I love her! She is so talented and good at everything. I always thought she was the most beautiful person on the planet, like she could be a model or something!
Next there is Lindsey. Lindsey and I have been best friends forever! Of course growing up we got in our little fights but they never lasted long. Lindsey is still my best friend (besides Zac) even though we never got to room together at school. I love her so much!
Last but not least is Michelle! Michelle is always there when you need a hug or a good laugh! She can always make you smile! Sometimes I wish she could just live with me! She is the sweetest thing in the whole and boy do I love her too!
What can I say I have the most amazing sisters! I do have a rather amazing brother as well. Marc is awesome! He is so strong in the gospel and I hope that if I ever have son that he grows up to be like Marc. Marc is so fun to be around and can make anyone laugh! Even after all the teasing and fights we got into growing up I still love him! haha!

One thing I really love about all my siblings is how goofy they all can be. As you can tell by the picture above. I love this picture just because of everyones faces! Haha! I am so blessed to belong to such a wonderful, fun family! I love them all more than I can say!

Busy Busy!

Well school started on Monday. : ( Which means I have less time to do my favorite things like coming up with more crafty, creative things to do. My classes are keeping me on my toes with quizzes everyday. Hopefully I will be able to get into the groove of things and life won't be too crazy! But I am not going to bore you with school stuff! I actually did something awhile ago but didn't post it so I guess this is a good time! I tried my hand at some homemade wall art.

I cut out 8 by 8 inch squares of cardboard.  I first covered them with white fabric so the brown cardboard wouldn't show through. Then I covered them with some nice printed fabric. They are light enough that I used that sticky stuff that you hang posters with.  They are a little lopsided but I don't mind!
