Crafty: Take 2

So summer is officially done with school starting tomorrow and I thought I would update all ya'll on the crafts I have started (and some finished!) this crafty summer!  I'm so glad I got to do so many things with all of my free time.  Hopefully I will keep knitting, sewing, crocheting, painting, and gluing through the rest of the year.  I included some links to patterns so I hope you have fun crafting too!

My tea party dress. Just made it up as I went.

Emma Watson Fashion

In lou of Harry Potter 7 pt. 2 coming out this weekend, I thought I would pay tribute to one of my favourite fashion icons of the moment, Emma Watson.

here's from her photo shoots:

Getting Crafty

Oh hey everyone. It's been a while.  Just wanted to share with you what my summer has consisted of: CRAFTS!  I've gonna a little buck wild and have started and stopped (and occasionally finished) quite a good amount of crafts ranging from knitting to endless paper flowers to string bracelets so....Enjoy!

In the Next Few Months

This weekend was crazy and eventful.  Started off with a rehearsal dinner Friday night and off to CU for fun and games.  Saturday was nonstop insanity with Meghan's graduation in the morning, then loads of pictures taken and then the wedding, more pictures, and the wedding reception.  Sunday was relaxing :)  Then today I went antique shopping with Julie and Teresa and got great finds (me, a lace tablecloth for our tea party...coming soon).

Got a call while out and about that we sold our house.  We will be moving out asap but no later than the beginning of July.  Much mixed feelings to this change.  Some sad because I just redid my room, got more hours at work, and will have to box up everything and shift to a new environment.  I have the decision to make to either move to a condo with my mom (maybe in Byron Center) or move out with Julie and others downtown GR.  This could be a good change because I would be closer to school and CU and fun events that happen around GR.  It could also be a bad change because it's even farther away from church and work.

Another thing: I need to find a new job.  I need to make more money so I can afford tuition and (if I move out) housing payments.  Another reason for finding a new job is so I start working with what I love: clothes (and I need a co-op job).  I will be making some huge steps in the next few months and could use some prayers.

 "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6

So this is what my week consists of:
M: working all day on 2 projects due for my finals and studying for one test
T: registration day! get those classes before everyone else can (starting at midnight), get up early, exam and project due at 9 a.m. work 4 to 8
W: get up even earlier to babysit two of the cutest little munchkins at 6 a.m. until about 10:30 then last project exam at 1 p.m. work 4 to 8
R: either shop today or friday for Erika and Jake's wedding present (but I get to sleep in!). work 4 to 8
F: finish shopping, rehearsal dinner at 6
Saturday: here we go. get up who knows when to begin getting ready for the day, Meghan's graduation downtown at 10:30, might leave early to do my hair, have to be at church around 12 or 1 I'm guessing, wedding begins at 3:30, pictures and all in between stuff, reception downtown at 6, party the night away.

So glad I'm done with school by this point because I think my head would have popped off otherwise.  If anyone would like to pray for me this week, that would be much appreciated.  I also need to leave a lot of room for God in my busy schedule!

But here are some things I would rather be doing:

After!

Alright, so sorry this took so long but I just put everything up on the walls last week.  And my room was clean enough to take pictures.  (oh and don't mind the puzzle on the floor haha)
