getting better at life

my life is changing.

for a while now ive been out of school and out of work.

its fall 2010 and I'm going to college and moving out.

to prepare im making myself a weekly routine

and soon i plan on rebooting my sleeping schedule

SUNDAY

crafts- i want to do more crocheting, doodles and water colors.

sewing is always a frustrating option.

MONDAYS

cleaning- a day dedicated to my OCD

i can clean things that seem clean, re-organize,

straiten-up, touch-up, and make sure all things are perfect.

TUESDAY

school- i have 3 classes at random time frames of the day.

ample time to study and do homework!

WEDNESDAY

relax- this day if I'm not working

i plan on spending it relaxing and doing school work

THURSDAY

school- again i have 3 classes at random time frames of the day.

ample time to study and do homework!

FRIDAY

hooping- granted i casually hoop in my room all the time.

I'm setting aside a day where i go out for about an hour or more

and practice new hooping tricks.

Aug-13-2010: i did my first off the shoulder!

SATURDAY

jogging- the day i run a lap or two on my street

and listen to my zune

while I imagine how silly i must look to my neighbors.

music videos for thought

this time 3 videos that are just fun to watch.

i've found them in internet adventures; no back stories.

if anyone actually reads this:

I dont know my direction in all of this.

i soon hope to be able to sell my crafts.

i have water colors and crochet items i'd like to get rid of.

but i've been told other people like my work.

so one day maybe you'll be able to get my work.

tank-top dress

Due to the fact that i live in my room and do nothing.

i wasn't aware that these cute things existed.

I really wanted one but I'm quite honestly broke.

So i went home and made myself a tank-top dress.

Supplies:

old tank top

fabric

elastic

scissor

sewing machine

1)cut tank-top about an inch below the bust line

2) i used a dress as a template; cut 1 inch around

* make the top wider

3) sew down both sides and fold up the bottom to hem.

4) fold down the top and sew about an inch wide strip

* to string elastic through

5) sew the tank-top to the skirt leaving room for elastic

6) thread elastic and sew ends together.

wear with pride!
