Where the heck did April go?!

WARNING: This blog contains proof that my hair is indeed blonde, and always will be, even it doesn't show on the outside. Now you may continue :)

As I said in the title: WHERE THE HECK DID APRIL GO?? It still seems like it should be 2011 or something. Shoot, it should still be 2010 acording to my internal calender. But, I better tell it to shut up, because it's 2012. And, almost May at that. I've been  doing a bunch of crafty stuff, and thought I'd write about it. Oh, I've been trying to figure out Picasa photo editing thing too. Not working too well :( It's confusing!

 Rainbow cake=awesome~! I must make this!

 Here's where the whole blonde thing comes in:

 Cute, right? well. Yeah. Um, I didn't get it at first. I was like, "Huh? I think you're Orange Fanta Branch? What does that mean...? O_O Fanta...OHHH!" Man, I'm stupid :D

 Here's one of the things I made...a Duck Tape Wallet! It's so cool! Annnd, it's so easy to make! I made Melissa (My Sis, in case you didn't know) one too :)

 I thought I was the only one (besides my mom) who thought that! I get so mad at that part!!

One thing I'm in the middle of making! It's for Dylan's (my nephew) birthday. I'm not very far into making it, so I need to hurry up--his birthday is May 13th!

Another blonde moment :"Huh? How..? Guhluhbull...g..u...h..l..u..h..b..u..l..l....Huh?!? That's not true! OHH! WAIT!" Another "Man, i'm stupid" moment. Hey, at least I'm not alone...Melissa did the same thing! (And, she not blonde!)

Okay, so I said I would write about crafts I've been doing..well, now that I think about it, I haven't done alot...does origami count..? hehe :) Well, I made flipflops out of duck tape & cardboard...but I messed up a step & it didn't work :(( & it doesn't really count, but I made fried rice :D I took pictures & will post them tomorrow..don't have them uploaded! I've been writing alot..& I made some little pillows...and that's about it. I've been pretty busy going thru stuff & packing.

T-T-T-that's all, folks!

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!!
