magnet and cork message board

i painted the message board to better fit into my overall motif of white on pink.

before: raw wood colored. looked unfinished.

after: i painted the wood white and the cork in a light cream. i think its an upgrade even if it took me much longer to get done than it should've (in my defense, i finished it sometime last week).

small update

this is the most recent craft, but i've already got another in the works. this sweater was finished right before my school started on the 19th or whatever. i was afraid i wouldn't be able to wear it because we got a heat wave like the day after i finished it, but i lucked out with chilly weather! so without further adieu...

i cut off the armwarmer-type sleeves, finished it off with flat lace, then added two rows of lace at the collar (one narrow and one wider). i think it came out pretty good. i especially like the collar and the color combo.
bonus full outfit shot!

old crafts that are still awesome

i'm a terrible updater, these are some crafts from ages ago.

stenciled myself an exploding hearts shirt. its one of my favs.


studded moto jacket. i picked up the jacket at a thrift store for 4 or 5 bucks and studded it (at the end of summer?) this is also in high rotation in my wardrobe.

and i studded this shirt. i don't know why i haven't worn this out yet because it looks totally cool right? i guess i don't have the perfect outfit yet.

cinnamon rolls

i have been craving cinnamon rolls for days so i finally decided to do something about it!
the recipe for the rolls is from an old cook book and the icing is from alton brown over at food network. it didn't come out that sweet... which i guess was good because you can eat 5 without throwing up (believe me, the 4 of us ate it in 2 days).

the white tree

so I've still been crafting, and I just wanted to prove it to you with actual proof.

here's a canvas (my first!). it looks like a painting of nothing so I'll explain what its supposed to look like. I painted the canvas with the same color pink as my room and spray painted a stencil of the white tree of gondor (don't hate on my love for lord of the rings). I figured making lotr fit in my super cute pink room would be easy if I painted it the same super cute pink as my room. in real life, the tree is only really visible after your eyes have adjusted to the soft lighting in my room.

(this is what it looks like on my wall.
I had to move things around a bit to get my room how I want it.)

I also made a shirt of the tree which makes the stencil actually visible. its a gift, so don't spill the beans!
the spray paint didn't seem to show up well on the shirt, so with the stencil still on, I painted it again with a thin coat of fabric paint.
