Ceramics

So I am in a ceramics class at my high school-for four more days when I graduate. but its been an interesting semester learning this new art. It was been so fun, but I don't know anyone in my class so sometimes it's a bit awkward, but everything I do in here is my own creation. Mine alone. Most of them turn out quite poorly. Not at all like what's in my head. But that's because I tend to be a perfectionist until a certain point when I over think it, and just end up not caring in the end. But just as in life, I learned that perseverance is key. And sometimes things actually work out in the end. Its the process that counts tho. That's where you learn the most.

The Coziest of Cozies

I know I didn't show you how to really do this. But my sister Alyssa anad I spent the majority of our thanksgiving break crocheting. We are truly beginners, but we had fun looking up patterns and trying new things. I made a scarf with four different stitches-undid it, half of a sock-undid it, and a hat that would fit a polar bear-made a mess while I undid it, all before I got a hat that fits and is quite cozy if I do say so myself. It was a marvelous sight..especially because it was 80 degrees out side and we were in our swimming suits in Palm Desert. But it was definitely worth the time and effort we had a great time together. Find someone to chat with and start playing with your ball of yarn!

Thats how i see it,

Quilt of Love

 if you are like me, you have about a billion and two t-shirts that you never wear but can just not seem to give up because they bring back such good memories.

best idea: Make a quilt. you will love snuggling up in it, and you empty out your closet just enough for some new clothes ;)

Headbored and Frames

 My dad and i set out for a father daughter project. BUILDING A HEAD BORED. but this was no easy task. We painted ever piece of hand picked wood

 at least three or four times, using different colors for each coat.

 we cut them all in different sizes

 and placed them to gether

 (I just thought this was a cool picture)we put them all together framed it and hung it up behind my bed.

 We had some extra paint! so my mom and i went to goodwill and found a bunch of wood frames that i sanded down.

 it was a little messy...both hands

 and feet.

but it was super fun and they look awsome!
