DIY Day

Hey weekend people!  I just came up with this idea for DIY Day!
Here's the fist craft!

What you will need to make our project on DIY Day, (a cute and stylish hair bow) is:

-Fall fabric
-needle & thread
- hot glue
-scissors
- bobby pin

First, fold your fabric to the length and width you want your bow to be
(notice how one end is still folded)

Next, sew the unfolded end so that when you turn it inside out, you have a clean seam

Now, fold or scrunch your loop into a bow shape

Sew through the scrunched area so that you can hold it without it coming apart

Take a piece of your scrap fabric and start hot gluing it to the bow by wrapping it around while putting down small dots of glue.

After you have wrapped at least once around your bow, slide your bobby pin onto the scrap
(make sure the top of the pin is put to the bottom of the bow)

Glue the bobby pin to the bow.

If you followed these directions right, it should turn out something like this

If you have any questions or comments please let me know!

Settling for Wavy

One word: Braids.
Braids are my only success.  Braids made my hair wavy like so:


Notice how it's like still dark out?  That's because that picture was 
taken this morning at about 6:45.  About half an hour after I woke up.

No curls

So the headband curling didn't work for me,
but if you have short or thin hair, I bet it would work great!  Sorry I said that I would show you 
my results the next day!  I just got caught up with stuff!  Ever happen to you?
I totally understand!

Quest for Curly

  I don't exactly know how it happened, I just somehow, this past summer, started wanting curly hair.  I don't                                                          know why, it may be because my best friend has the most perfectly curly hair, but I just started wanting curly hair. Over the summer I actually was like begging for a perm!  My Mom talked me out of it though by saying it wold be harder to do your hair and brush it and stuff like that.  So no curly hair for me.  But now, I want for just like a day!  A day! And since my hair is too long and thick for a curling iron, my only choice left is curlers. And if you've ever slept in curlers before, it's the last thing you want to do again!  I've been searching  Pinterest far and wide now for a way to get curly hair.  I tried french braiding it wet twice, and last night I slept in two uncomfortable twisted buns.  NEITHER WAYS WORKED!!!  Well maybe they worked for 5 minutes before they were completely dry, but other than that zero curls!  If you know any other ways to get curly hair, PLEASE TELL ME!  I'll still be looking, but a comment would be faster than looking at every google result.

Miss Me?

Hey everyone!  Please don't hate my guts for not posting in the weeks I've been gone.  It feels like it's been forever because so much has happened in those weeks or in the days I've been too lazy to post.  So I ask that you forgive me and check out some sweet picks from those weeks/lazy days.


At my friends lake house before a festival  in  their  neighborhood


Awesome first day of school!



On our way to Put-in-Bay! (Jet Express)

We waited in line to go up to the top of a monument taller that The Statue of Liberty!
The wait was totally worth it!  The view was awesome!
We went inside the World's largest geode!  It was kinda scary!

Coolest hot tub ever at a friend's house, where we also tubed!
