Sewing Adventures and Ghoulish Happenings.

So I must admit that I still have not been able to put my sewing pictures on due to my dad needing to use the computer that they are on. So... I will explain some of it.

In my Clothing class at school they are doing this thing called the
Ultimate Sewing Challenge. Its where my teacher gives you what is called "fat quarter". I don't know how to explain what that is, so lets just say its a piece of fabric. And she lets you sew whatever you want with that piece of fabric. And you get 10 extra credit points if you do it. So I was pondering on what I was going to do, and I came up with this idea: When I was younger, Sherri Lewis taught me how to make paper cups. Actually Lamb Chop did, but you know what I mean. And so, I made a paper cup (bigger) and made a purse out of it. I must say, it turned out pretty well. I will have pictures of it once my dad gets off the Mac.

On to other things. Every year for Halloween, basically our main decoration is our tomb stones. They are 15 years old and have withstood our pounding and screwing every year. Anyway, me and my friend Veronica put those up a few days ago. Even though it was freezing cold.


Me in my rocker sweatshirt. Actually it was my guitar class sweatshirt from last year. They decided to make it more "the teen style".
Veronica pounding in the stake. And yes, I did intend that pun.
Dracula will finally be dead!


Gosh, we have no respect for the dead.

Our skeleton. We have had that thing for as long as I can remember. First the head came off, then one of the arms, and just this year it's spine broke. We always set it on our porch swing, but we decided to have a little fun with it.
GRAVE ROBBERS!

Get your bony legs in the right place, man.
Best friends.


They are really swingin'!

Then... we got the mail.
Me waltzing to the mail box.
Veronica waltzing back home.

Ooh. The Nationwide Unclaimed Vehicle Event. I should go to that.

La de dah. Nothing has really happened lately, except that I got sick and had to stay home from school for a week. But, that's about it. Have a happy week!

Reflections

So every year the PTA hosts this thing called Reflections. It is where kids in our school can enter things that they have done such as photography, drawings, music, poems, and all that sort of stuff. Well, every year they have a theme. This year was Beauty is... and you were supposed to fill in that last bit on what your opinion of beauty is. So I decided to enter my ballet self portrait. And tonight they told us what we got. And guess what!
Award of Excellence!
My picture is going to State!

Fall Colors



I can't wait for all the trees to change color! It is so beautiful when it does.

Autumn.

Brrr...

This week the weather has been getting colder and colder! I really don't like cold weather. So, for the next few months, this is what I will be seeing everyday.
But luckily, I have this to look forward to!
I absolutely love spring blossoms. This is what I look forward to every spring. This picture I took is of our cherry tree blossoms by our pool.
