Some projects I'm working on, and pictures. Yes, more pictures!

Okay, so I've started back sewing again--yay! I'm sorry about the bad picture, but I took it with my webcam in bad lighting, soo yeah those two factors don't add up to great pics. Oh, And my arm got in the way. Hehe :) Anyway, so this is a blue and zebra print little purse (and by little I mean about 5" x 5"--not including the handle, of course), which only required sewing for the button. I made it in under 5 minutes, and it looks awesome! (Although, by looking at the picture, I think I can say I've seen better looking things in our garbage.

A little bit better picture of it.

Once again, the deadly combo made this look horrible :/ I'm beginning to hate my webcam. This is a pillow I'm working on for my sister, Melissa (which explains the M). It's purple, (her favorite color) with a zebra striped layer, and then another purple layer, on which I embroidered an M on. I haven't embroidered in probably 2 years, so that's why it's crooked. :D I was going to surprise her, but me being the oh-so-patient person that I am, of course had to show her tonight when she came. She liked it. Or, I think she did. She kind of had her attention elsewhere (being that she has three kids--12, 7, and 2), so I'm not sure.

This is a one-zie (how the heck do you spell that, anyway?) that my nephew Dylan had when he was little. I'm thinking about making it into a pillow.

Okay, warning, this is where the 1,000's of pictures start. Sorryyy, I can't help it, I wanna be a photographer. Buut, there's semi-important information at the bottom. So, deal wif it! 
Picture of the honeysuckle blossoming on our mailbox, taken right after it rained.







 Dead hydrangea's (uhh...I'm not sure if thats what it is, but I think so anyway.)

Hooray for Canadians! :D

 



Doesn't this look like an alien?!? These grow on trees around our house, so I'm guessing their seeds? I really have no clue.


Sunset...well, sort of.



Bush outside our house.

Brick wall. Hey, don't judge.

These flowers are growing on the side of our house. They are TI-NY!!




Picture of the holly (??) growing on the bushes outside our house.



Some pink flowers. Everything thinks it's spring....should I tell them it's not even March yet?

The dead Hydrangea in a bush. Don't ask.

Profile shot of Abby, my friend. She's a twin. If this picture looks like it was planned, trust me, it's not. She didn't even know I had my DS on.






Is it sad that it took me awhile to understand this sign? At first I thought they had just said chocolate twice, before mama corrected me and said they meant that it's choc. on the inside AND outside, thus making me feel stupid and realize that my blonde roots run deeper than I thought.


Okay, So I'm going to get a haircut, and this is the most recent picture of me, so tell me: which of these haircuts would look good on me?

Pixie haircut. i really like the Pixie cut, but it would probably look horrible on me.

another pixie cut.



Okay, so this is who everyone says is my twin, Saoirse Ronan. She's an actress. She was in The Lovely Bones. I kinda think i'm going to go with this haircut.
This is really similar to the last one.

Okayy, so that's the end of the picture frenzy. I have a question: have  you ever read The Lorax?  And, are you going to go see the movie? We are, on March 3rd, the day after it comes out. Which, may I add, is the same day I can change my earrings. YES!! The six weeks is almost up! It's seemed like the looongest six weeks everrr.

Bye!!

Alot of stuf....(And yeah, I spelled stuff with only one f..it's how i do it)

Alot of things have happened since I last posted.

November 10th. Wow. That's a loooong time. I've forgotten alot of what's happened actually, except for recently, so i'll report what I remember. Funny how I remember things from when I was 2, but I can't remember things a month ago. Well, actually, that happens because events only go into your long term memory if they have some sort of emotional meaning or something. But, anyways, I won't go into all that...(Btw, if you're wondering, we don't go out to eat every night. We were celebrating my Birthday--all week long!!)
December 12th:
Went to El Real. They sang some type of Happy Birthday song. And put my name of the sign.
December 13th:
Went to Cheddar's. Well, and Publix too. But that doesn't really count. Also, Shoutout to Tori. Thanks for the Pink Eiffel Tower :) Oh, and thanks to the 'rents for the Elf, Shelby. And to Granny for the Hello Kitty Pajama's and Slippers.
December 14 (My actual B-day):
Had a cupcake & Capri-sun Birthday Picnic in my front yard. Thanks to Tori, Abby, Britney, Lorissa, Nathan, Tyler, Annakate, Dylan, Hillary, Sean, Granny, and Melissa for coming :) And special thanks to Granny, who made it possible. And we went out to eat at Huddle House.
December 15th:
We went out to eat at Frank & Linda's
December 16th:
Had an ice cream cake party at Granny's house. Thanks Melissa, Kenny, Dylan, Matt, Kim, Elizabeth, Abigail, Sherry, and Don for coming :)
~And that completes the Birthday week. The other six days have just been a blur of Christmas Shopping--not a whole lot of intresting stuff going on. Oh, Yeah, Shoutout to the Felkers--Ryan, Susan, and Victoria (Tori)!! Thanks for the sweets :) The oreo truffles are best :) I need to find out how you made them!! :D
Well, I don't know what else to say, so i'll sto--OOOOOHHH! I DO KNOW WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT!!!! Buuut, I think i'll save it for later ;) Night Guys!

Skylar's Stuff Shop--A Success!

I came up with an idea a few weeks ago--that I would be just like the Ice Cream Man that comes in our neighborhood every now and then, except I would sell candy (Yes, I realize I would be called the Candy Man. Don't laugh! Well, I guess Candy Girl would be more appropriate.), among other things. Well, today I finally launched it! :) I had planned earlier today to make Chocolate Chip Cookies, and when I asked the Twins, A.K.A. Abby and Britney (Our next-door neighbors, and my friends) if they would like one, of course they said yes! So, they came over, and I decided now would be a perfect time. They had gone home for a minute to check in when I put the box full of candy outside. When they came back over, they thought I was giving it out for free, but when they found out that it cost money, they added up the total for all the things they wanted, and went home to go get money! I was surprised, because I didn't think my Stuff Shop would actually work, but it did!  When the cookies were done (They were GIANT!!), the Twins came back over, with more money, and bought a few more things. It started raining after that, so they went home, but a few minutes later they came running over,  holding up more money, yelling "We got more money! Mama let us get  a dollar out of our rainy day savings!"  "Is your rainy day savings actually FOR a rainy day, or something?" "No, it's just called that."
So, by the end of the day, I had made about $5.00.  Not bad for a first day, if you ask me. And only 2 people came over!!
I've figured out a schedule: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I'm going to sell candy & food stuff, & Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday I'm going to sell other stuff, like M & M pen holders, and rings and stuff like that.

Well, just wanted to post about the success of Skylar's Stuff Shop!!!


Au Revoir!
