there'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on / and it will be just like you were never gone

It was quite a fantastical Saturday, even if the Script came and I could not see them and scream with the crowds to their great music. However, I've been told, they said they would come back. So I'm going to start by selling all my clothes, personal belongings, etc so I have enough money to purchase a ticket when they come here again. Eeep.

If you want to know why it was fantastical, well that's because we had a little party with a couple of Elle and my favorite girls. We dug out the trims, cans of threads, other tiny little tidbits and mom put together a great feast. We had a reconstructing party. 
(Not as boring as it sounds!)
We asked each girl to bring an old t-shirt that they didn't use anymore and were okay with cutting it up. 

But, why am I doing all the talking? Here I'll let the pictures show you what a jolly good time we had and make you all envious you didn't get to try some of our cupcakes.



All of us getting ready to stuff ourselves silly.


Our menu:
Cinnamon Cupcakes
Cream Cheese Dip
Buttered Toast
and Marshmallows in teeny tiny Ice Cream Cones



Andrea and Amanda cutting away!


Me getting some pretty black lace for my top.


Andrea braiding the drawstring for her skirt made out of an old blue t-shirt.


Sam sewing on patterned birds.

Posing with out works of art that looked store bought!



After Andrea and Amanda left us, we four girls left behind in a now much less gay party sewed some more. I had another t-shirt and have always seen stuff like this online. So, I searched for a tutorial and finished it in less than half a day! Amazing. Ahgsdfgdsfghkhkdfd.

Here is the tutorial for making one. Try it. Watch the video. You'll be glad you did it and you'll feel extremely good.
*chest swelling up with pride*

This is the front. All nice-good-girl-totally-normal.


And THIS is the back! Boo-yeah. So bad-butt. Hehe.



This is a new favorite of mine from The Script's second album Science & Faith. It's so terribly good. And I cried the first time this song filtered through my ears and filled up this small shell of a soul I have.

i'll make you a mixtape that will charm you into bed / it details everything that's runnung round my head



I don't know if you've heard, but last week the scissors went snip, snip again.


I got a lot of positive responses. And I am one extremely happy girl.

Also, I have some general resolves.

1. Exercise

I am saving to buy myself a present. That is I get the present if I actually end up losing all that unwanted flab that seems to think it can take up permanent residence in my body.
Want to know what I plan on purchasing?
A bikini!
*giggles*

I recently found out that it's sale on Volcom bikinis. 
I. Can't. Wait. To. Own. One. Of. Those. Sweet. Suits.
Obviously the exercise is going to actually have to happen otherwise I look like a blimp in it.

Thus, right after all the important things tomorrow I must go get some muscle. 


My daddy got me two very excellent things last week as well.

1. Shoes.

2. A book.

I won't tell you the specifics! I'll save that for a tell all picture tomorrow. 

However, this is a picture of a a little matryoshka doll key chain I made for myself. I feel quite proud indeed. 



I've got to go now. This girl needs some sleep.
