so this is a present that I got for christmas..and i am so in love. it is much easier to play than my parents old one I was using, and it sounds so much better. I am by no means a guitar genius or anything, but I love playing and just messin around on it.
this is a hideous picture of me rockin out. but i thought it was so cute cuz Chuck is on my shoulder. WE do duets. The first time I heard him chirp/sing was when I played a song.
this is the game i got for my bday from spence. only problem is, we don't have a wii..and all the stores we called to are sold out..go figure. so I have been to my in laws house and recently just passed the game! But it is so fun cuz you can play with four people doing super mario bros. it's hilarious. so if anyone is up for it, I'm there. you supply the wii, I supply the game, and my sweet skills.
I was a bit spoiled this year for christmas and got everything i wanted. Spence surprised me with this lil baby. She has worked like a charm and I am loving having one in my house. So next pics are what we've accomplished together in the past few months.
my first ever little blanket. not perfect AT ALL. Note the video game controller beside...
this one ended up being a little long and skinny...ran out of fabric after that. oh well
if you look closely at this one, you will notice that i have cheated. I have not yet finished the border, and there are still pins in it..i'll finish it one day!
This is spence's 'video game blanket' that I made him for his bday. he needed a new one, and I had the fabric around and needed an idea for his bday, and so it was perfect. I was just glad he liked it!
this was just a little project that came up out of the blue one day, and I worked non stop till it was finished. I forgot to take a 'before' picture, but anyone that has been to my place, or even my mom's a long time ago, it's these gross grey chairs that make you sink (still does, i'm working on it though) and so I decided to recover it. It's not perfect, like many things I do, but I just love it way more! It is a little crazier than I thought it was going to be, but I'm okay with that. ps ignore the huge mess all around it. i'm not the tidiest person, so live with it.
and last but not least, CRAFTS!!! this one me and janna had a craft date and got together and did these letters.
I did this one for my mom for mother's day. gong to put it up on her mantle between picture frams of all the kids.
found this on 'make it and love it' blog. GREAT site. i pretty much copy everything off of there. you take styrofoam balls, wrap hemp around them, and then spray paint them to match your colours. I will admit, it was much more tedious than I had expected and spray painting inside a one-bedroom apartment gives you an instant, long-lasting head ache.
another idea i saw on make it and love it was recovering an old pair of shoes you don't wear. so I decided wwhat did I have to lose? so I tried it. here is the before pic.
and here's the after pic. spence says they're a little crazy! i haven't worn them yet though cuz I didn't do the water-resistant modge podge, so i will have to wait till this snow clears up!
