This is the "Paint Tube Organizer" I made the other day. I wanted to put it on my blog and let you know how I did it. DIY Instructions: 1. Get a board, mine is about 1 foot x 1.5 feet, and maybe 3/4 of an inch thick. I think it is Pine. 2. Stain it whatever you want, or paint it. Mine is stained with a Dark "Espresso" color. I love dark wood, so that's why I chose it. 3. Take a line

So today I made copycat Zaxby's chicken. I made crinkle fries and the sauce to go with it. And the recipes are all online. But here are the results:

Recently I've been getting ready for the spring Bazaar here at college! I've been enjoying making wonderful crafts like coffe mugs, catch-alls, knit headbands, button earrings and so many more! Here are some pictures of what I'm doing. I also  regret not blogging as much as I used to, here's a new start to trying to blog more. Happy Spring! :) Sorry for the messed up images

So I'm sorry I haven't posted in a LONG time, college ate up all my time and currently I'm ignoring my math homework. So I figured I'd post. Some things I've been doing: enjoying my art classes got a job at subway!  being extremely busy with every breath i take wanting to create more art!  So i also, got a tumblr, which is why i haven't been on here. I abandoned this for tumblr, pretty

I know I have barely posted anything since I've been here at HU, but that's because I'm just having waaay too much fun to be posting on the blog. I have done several crafty things this week, including tonight, that I want to share with you. I'm so proud of these projects I've already posted them on tumblr, but oh well. I like blogger, bust sometimes tumblr is just so much faster and I just use it

Here is a skirt I just made, here in my dorm room. I have my sewing machine here at school, so I whipped up my first skirt ever! It even has pockets. I am so proud of myself! Also, another accomplishment is I sewed a pocket into this shirt I bought from Ross. I have yet to wash it, so we'll see what happens when we do. But this is me being creative at college! Now I have to ask, Hey mom do you

Think Red Toms.... Then, think homemade shoes. I successfully made my first pair of house shoes! I just used material from a dress and scrap fabric I had laying around. And I made my own version of toms.

Okay So I'm officially in college now. I have started decorating my room, but its not that good. So as school goes on I'd like to put up more art projects and make my room pretty. I might go scrounging in the trash can for some cardboard to make some art out of it soon. :D Anyways, more posts to come soon! Happy Day! Peace

I made these from different slices of fabrics i had laying around. I just got a new sewing machine (working) its a Singer "Talent" and I love it. It does everything I need it to do, and more! The more part is what I haven't figured out yet, but that's okay. I am taking the machine to college with me. Which, in fact, it is less than a month until move in day. I'm super excited. My room is

Plastic Cups Beads Tape Markers/Sharpies 1. Grab two small cups, put some beads into one of the cups. Step 1 2. Tape the two cups together, creating a vessel with beads inside. Step 2 3. Decorate the outside with

I am coming to you from my room of course, but I am very sorry I have not been able to come to you any sooner. This summer (since the beginning of June has been the busiest summer I've had yet.

Here's two more drawings I did for the challenge. I hope you enjoy! Oh, and here's the list again, just in case you forgot. :) 4. The contents of your refrigerator. Okay, so I sorta got lazy and didn't want to draw all the details of the bags, sue me. I don't have a medicine chest!! 5. Draw what's on your sink (not med chest...)

This is my newest recipe for breakfast. Its really really really good! I think everyone should try this! Esp if you like Mexican food, its kinda spicy but mostly tasty. Instructions: Heat flour tortilla, with shredded mexican cheese mix on top in microwave. Use Taco Bell's Fire Roasted sauce or mild salsa to mix with three eggs. Cook like an omelet. As omelet finishes melt more of that tasty

The drawing challenge continues, and honestly today it wasn't as much of a challenge. I drew #3 my room just before it was cleaned, and no I have not cleaned it yet. I will after I post this... But my challenge was quite relaxing since its the afternoon and I don't really feel like cleaning. 3. Just before your room is clean,draw it.  This is actually just a portion of dirtiness; I've got

Remember that list I posted of interesting things to draw way back when?  Well I've begun the challenge. These are the first two on the list and I plan to do either one or two a day, to the best of my ability. These are just sketches done in maybe 20-30 mins because I am too lazy to seriously sketch all the details to scale. I am a lazy artist sometimes. But I am hoping this quick sketching

Okay two things that I love: HUGE Pillows and Coca Cola! So, this week in art class I made a huge pillow. And today, I took pictures of it with me, and I took pictures of me and coke! I also love sunglasses: the coke has sunglasses on it! Therefore, I put on my sunglasses because today was an awesome sunny day. And here are the pictures!   I love Coca Cola! :)    And sleeping.

 I am going to try to take this challenge this summer: to draw the 149 things on this list, maybe modified.  I found this list from this website. So thank you to who ever posted this. I found it on Stumble Upon and decided this would be a good idea when I bored. Honestly-- it'd be fun to draw these in order in one sketch book, but I think I'm going to have to draw them out of order

Finally! Its been ages since I've been able to post an actual craft, not just photography of something random. But I've got a really cool creation for you. Its a wallet, but not only is it a wallet but its a WALLET! I stitched and sewed myself, with the machine and my hand and for me, its pretty amazing. My friends really like it because it is recycled out of jeans and an old dress. I really

Hey, I am back after a lil bit of a break. But I have to warn you, I'll be gone again soon. Last week was spring break and I took my nameless friend out to photograph old rail road cars by my house I have always wanted to do so. I love these old cars for their bright color, the rust and history. They have been uniquely placed at the end of the line, a train yard. My friend says authorities

Hey I'm back for a brief time, still on break. I'm here with my friend Meagan, a writer. She, as far as I know, is a bubbly, happy for the most part person. She is probably talkative, but I don't know that first hand. But I will let you know that when I really get to know her. I hope you enjoy what she has written, as a sister in Christ she is a big influence and help to those she loves

I still don't know whether I'll be able to post this coming week, Sunday should be busy since I'll be on break. But I'll try to check back on Monday with a post.

Here's a painting I recently completed. It sold at an auction for my school for about $50.00!! :) I titled it "The English Rider." It is 18"x24". It was done in oils.  I have a thing for oil paint. I just get into the mode when I sit down and paint (or stand and paint) and I forget everything around me. Sometimes I sing to the music but either way I get lost in thought and forget where I am

Since this post will be extra long with not only interview questions, but an example of her work, I will keep the introduction short. This is about my friend, Marlane, of whom I've known for several years now. She is a great writer, dreamer and wonder and has always been a dramatic romantic. I really don't know much about that sorta thing, but I'd like to share with you her classy yet creative
