3. A whopper storm

4. A new Flickr account

Happy Monday to you all!

When I feel crafty.....

I make these!

Yo-yos for your hair!

All it is really is: a circle of vintage fabric with a 5" diameter, three buttons, and some thread.

You take the circle of fabric and sew in big stitches all around the edge. Then pull thread to gather the fabric at the top. Tie thread ends. snip. then sew the three buttons over the ugly gathery part. sew through yo-yo to flatten out. Then take a bobbie pin and stick it through the thread loops in the back and there you have it!

If this is confusing, I can post more pictures or even a video if ya'll are interested. :)

Loveliest of Wednesdays to you dear reader.

I'm back, in black.....

well, actually I'm wearing green right now, but green doesn't rhyme with back. :)

So, a lot can change in 10 months. I'll list a few.

1. I started debate, which is a barrel of fun, or monkeys depending on which way you're looking at it. My Debate partner is a close friend of mine, who happens to be the sister of my sister's roommate.

2. I have decided on my major. I'll give you a hint.

3. I have a job which begins this summer. :D

And a few other things have changed, but I won't take anymore of your precious brain cells. Until my next post, may the Force be with you.

A Week in Green, Day 4

The lonely vintage tractor transverses the white hills.

Notes from one of my surrogate nephews to his "mummy". :)
