Handmade headbands

I stumbled upon a website that taught me how to make these adorable headbands out of scraps of material and old elastic hair ties. After learning how to make the first one I was pumping more out like nothing! It is so simple and a super cute way to add to any outfit. It makes me feel so proud to be able to wear something that I made, I can't wait to make more.

Swinging!

Having a lot of young cousins on my Mom's side of the family, when we get together at my Grandma's house we often go to a nearby park. My Mom came with us on Easter Sunday and had a little taste of childhood. My cousins laughed and laughed as they watched my Mom jump off the swing, "banana split", and do whatever she is doing in these pictures. My Mom is so fun!

Heading Home

Packing my dorm room!

I am all packed up and ready to return home. Jake is coming to pick me up tonight and do some heavy lifting to bring most of my belongings home. I love packing, although I'm not too thrilled to unpack everything, but either way I'm anxious to leave this cube of a dorm room!

Choco Taco

Anticipating my very first Choco Taco

Since my childhood, everyone has raved about the ice cream and taco combo: Choco Taco. Considering that I had not been able to eat one until now because they were always sold out in ice cream trucks and gas stations, I figured it must be something monumental. Maybe it was the years of being built up to be the greatest ice cream sensation or maybe that I was raised on Drum Sticks, but I couldn't help but be disappointed with the Choco Taco.

Campus Martius

Tyler, Scott, EB and me!

I was finally able to convince the owner of these pictures to make them public so that I could blog about them (rather late). Ice skating downtown was really fun, even though the skates that I rented were sopping wet with disinfectant! Before I started skating I thought that I would be decent at it, I've watched my brother's hockey games for years and he makes it look easy. As soon as I set foot on the ice, I reality hit and I realized I had to idea how to skate. After some guidance from my friends I was able to skate around like I knew what I was doing. Yay! 'Go Ice Skating' is the first thing I get to blog about that I crossed off my list!

Original Painting

My final painting in water color

Trees and beginning plants

Rough sketch of proportions

In Viscom II our assignment was to choose a picture from the ones that our professor brought in for us and then paint it in water color using the varying techniques we've learned to deal with water color. This project was super intimidating and a constant struggle because water color does it's own thing. I did my best to work with it and I really enjoyed this project. I made this for my sister (she doesn't know yet) because the two girls reminded me of her and I. I hope she likes it!

Nail Polish

Kasey came back from spring break with these detailed nail stickers and let Jenna and I join in on the fun. It took some getting used to and learning how to put them on but they turn out really nice. Now all of our nails match with this floral pattern.
