Popping In

Hello Lovelies!

I'm still caught up in the whirlwind of getting ready to move back in to school in a few days. But I've missed writing and I said to myself this morning, "Dadgummit, I'm going to write a blog post if it kills me!"

I'm done (mostly) making things for the Fair. My favorite things I've made are ^That book clutch^ and these necklace pendants:

 

I got to go to my favorite Elvis Week event - one of the free shows at The Tent! My super incredibly talented friend performs and competes every year and I've been blown away by how much stronger his performance is every time he steps onto a stage. This boy's going places. 

I'll miss my "summer home" but it's time for me to hit the road. 

No, really! I finally bought a car! 

College, here I come for Round 2.

A Recap

So almost two weeks ago I posted that I was really busy. I was and am still. 

But I have had many adventures!

I visited my little college town and its library. 

People should know better than to offer free books to take home around me!

I paid a visit to an old family quilt that hangs in the library. Each pattern piece is made of twenty or so names hand-embroidered on. 

That took some patience, right there.

Then the next day I got up and for two days I traveled all the way up to Oshkosh, Wisconsin for the EAA Airventure Airshow. 

It was my first time camping....so of course it rained every day and my tent leaked. Good thing I love nature.

And a few rainbows never hurt anyone, either.

Among the hundreds of things to do was listen to astronauts talk about their research plane. 

Or, for those with a need for adrenaline.....

...You could watch aerial-aerobatics with exploding dynamite as the backdrop!

(At this point, I informed The Gentleman that I am, in fact, actually in *need* of a few sticks of dynamite for my very own. He disagreed vehemently....apparently I don't seem trustworthy with fire or something...) 

(Back off, ladies - he's mine!)

It was a wonderful adventure (or Airventure, as the case may be.) Plus, I got to hang out with this handsome fellow for a solid 9 days!

{Tutorial} Super Quick NO SEW Tank Top

I love a quick project, and I'll bet you do, too.

For this tank top, all you'll need is a pair of scissors and a stretchy-material dress that looks like this:

Steps:

1) put dress on

2) find where you want the top to stop

3) mark the place (I use white chalk cause it washes or rubs off)

4) take dress off

5) cut across the dress in a clean, straight line at the mark you made

6) put on your cute new tank top and go show it off!

***Please note that if the dress is not made of a stretchy-knit material, it will fray and you will have to hem it.***

Much In Progress

My posts are going to be sporadic for a bit - I am gearing up to camp out at the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh for a week, going back to school in less than a month, and just life in general. 

BUT!

(hehe, "butt")

I am working on:

Three men's-to-women's shirt tutorials

A cool-off bandanna/neck tie tutorial

A baking tutorial

A gift-gone-wrong post

And a few thought-provoking musings

For today, I'll leave you with an old photo that makes me smile.
