Under My Umbrella-ella-ella

My first 3D Design project: Wire sculpture of a closed umbrella :) It was very tedious but it turned out cool. I'll update on what grade I got.

It's kind of hard to capture in a picture.

Pinterest Fun: Fur Vest & Dyed Shirts

 So I am obsessed with pinterest...as you probably have noticed :)

My friends and I decided to do some crafts today :) We decided we wanted to do this project: Link it was really fun!!! We went to Hobby Lobby and got large shirts and dye. Kylie already had the blue glue here's how it turned out:

 While we were at hobby lobby I thought of this project: Link and how I really wanted to do it and so I did. Here:

So I bought the full 2 yards and obviously it can't be a perfect circle so I ended up with a long oval and cut off a good amount. I think if you wanted a smaller vest then you could do it with just one yard. Sorry for the bad picture just threw it on to take a picture :)

Civil Disobedience

Okay so for my literature class we were assigned to read "Resistance to Civil Government" by Thoreau. 

WOW! I must say this is a truly amazing piece of art! This is definitely the most inspiring essays I have read in a long time! I just couldn't put down my highlighter when I was reading and I am going to talk about a few of the quotes I grabbed from it.

 

Humanity

Sometimes it's easy (for me at least) to forget that those I don't know or who are different from me are so very much the same in many ways. I sometimes get in a rut of a "us" and "them" attitude. I need to really knock it off. I'm just glad that God gives me little perspective moments. I feel like I do this way too much with the Asian girls on my floor. I need to be better. They are just as much beautiful young college girls as I am. -shrug- I'll be better.

First Day of a New Semester

I got up way too early...6:45...my first class is at 9:30...I guess I was excited or something. Plus if I get in the habit of getting up early it will be good, I can start a good early morning workout plan.

I'm a bit more nervous this morning than I have been the whole break about today. I mean with 10 minute breaks between classes it makes me a little nervous. Oh and the fact that I am renting books for the first time and they wont be here till the second week of school...hopefully my teacher has some copies on reserve at the library.

I don't know...just nervous...should probably say a little prayer or something. I guess I need to learn to lean on God more and not try to muscle through everything on my own. Okay girl...humbling moment.

T-Shirt Scarf

Like my pinterest post said I am addicted. Well I have decided that any of the crafts I do from Pinterest I am going to put on my blog :) so yeah.

So this is my result for my t-shirt scarf and I think it turned out marvelously. Here is the link to the tutorial I followed :) It's way fun and cute! I think I'll start rounding up my old shirts I don't wear anymore and do t-shirt crafts :)
That's all for today
