Strip Skirt

Don't read to far into that title! haha! 

I just finished sewing a skirt and it's all made out of strips of fabric!

It was pretty easy to make, just time consuming... 

I am really happy with how it turned out! 

{The blue fabric has lighthouses and mini sailboats on it. 

and then the red has life-savers on it!}

Canvas Painting

Well, all I have been doing for the past week that I've been home is hanging with the fambam and friends, running errands, and crafting! Here are two canvas's that I just finished! 

I painted them both with Acrylic Paint

 {Made it out of dots(end of a paint brush) and I ended up giving it to my Great-Aunt Ann}

{For this painting I used real leaves from the front yard, painted them, and pressed them. 

I made this one for my mom}

Reading Edenbrooke

OH MY GOLLY! I could not even wait one minute to tell y'all about the book I just finished reading!!! It is Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson. Maybe it's that I haven't read in awhile, or that I'm a helpless romantic, or that I just got wayy to into it....but I LOVED IT!!!! Highly recommend! I'll admit I even shed a tear for a fictional character...and I don't cry.....But yeah. It's totally worth reading! Especially if you're in a sappy mood and need some type of love story in your life! :) 

EXCITEMENT

I AM SOOOO EXCITED! 

Wanna know why?! Well, I get to go home in exactly 6 days and see my family and stay in my house! haha! I am super psyched! :) I have missed laughing with my family, doing crafts with my mom, cooking in the kitchen, and surprisingly, missed my dad's lectures. Dictionary.com says the definition of Excite is: to arouse or stir up the emotions or feelings. 

And that is how I am feeling! :) 

What are you feeling excited about? 

First day of the month!

Well it's August first everyone! Crazy right?! Fall semester will be starting for everyone within the next month! I can't believe I have less than 2 weeks (13 days to be exact) of summer term for college left. It's pretty ridiculous! I have been loving every moment of it! I love my classes, and all of the people I have met! I am so sad to be leaving them between summer and fall, and I'll especially miss all my friends goin on their missions. It is amazing how many people are willing to go serve the Lord. I am so impressed! I have loved everything about BYU. I am so pleased and happy that I came here. 

So I've been thinking, which isn't always a good thing. haha! But I'm going to try and blog once a week. We'll see if I can do it! :) Please also check out the blogs I follow! I love the girls who do them so much! Have a great 1st week of August!!!!!!! :)
