My Valentine's day weekend.

Greetings, everyone!

Happy (late) Valentine's Day.
One of my friends told me he doesn't think singles should celebrate Valentine's Day because it's only for couples... He would be wrong! Valentine's Day, to me, means a day where you tell all the important people in your life that you love them! I spent the day with my family, eating chocolate and laughing with them, and making Valentines/letters for friends. I dropped a Valentine off at Deanna's house, and went to drama class in the evening where I gave all my other sweet friends their letters.


Deanna's Valentine had a bottle of banana yellow nail polish attached to it. She was pining for that color so I picked some up when I went shopping :)

On a different and exciting note, I spent the Sunday before Valentine's day with Deanna and she found the perfect cruiser bike for $40 bucks! She had been looking for a cruiser for awhile because she didn't have one, and was planning on spending $400 dollars on one from Urban Outfitters... And then bam! We were driving home from a movie, and someone was having a yard sale. We stopped because right in the middle, glowing in the sunlight, was her lovely bike. Yes.




Here we are, windblown and I looking slightly drunken... (No worries, we did not imbibe any alcohol.)


Happy Valentine's weekend! Hopefully a pretty paper bird D.I.Y. coming soon... (My very first D.I.Y.!)

Today I made...

Hey Guys!

Today I felt creative and decided to make a dress out of a pretty vintage tablecloth I had been saving...Here's how the project went!


Here's my original sketch. Normally my sketches aren't this sloppy, but I knew this dress would be super easy to make so I wasn't too careful. :)


Then I cut...


And pinned...


Tried to serge,


but had to deal with one of these first...


Pinned the waist ties on my dress form...



And here's the finished product!
I'm disappointed with how small the bow on my hip appears in this picture, but in real life it's pretty big and cute.


Deanna made me laugh, but don't be fooled...


We were freezing! The weather was windy and ohhhh so chilly!

The weekend is coming up soon... Yay :)
