A quick snippet

I've been lusting over so many different storage options for jewelry and knick knacks, but most cute earring stands are expensive. This past Valentine's day, my boyfriend asked me to choose a box of chocolates while we were at the store (I'm very choosey, but not picky!) Seeing as I'm not very big on gorging candy, the chocolates lasted us a while. When the last delicious piece was devoured, I thankfully decided to keep the cute container the sweets came in.

Midnight blogging

Hello again!
I took school off today because I had a rough night, and I've been feeling a bit sick. I decided to cheer myself up with some "virtual window shopping," as in looking through catalogs from stores I won't be able to buy from (as long as I'm an unemployed/freelancing college student!) I was a SLAVE TO MY SEWING MACHINE today. I'm a horrible sewer, and I couldn't sew a proper tube or ruffle if you asked me to! Despite all this, I went ahead and reconstructed the sleeves on a cardi I absolutely love. I haven't been courageous enough to wear due to big sleeves that look like massive "heybabies."

Moving on, The sleeves are ultra cute, but the cardigan is still a bit oversized. I'm not going to worry about it though, my heart sinks whenever I dare think of getting rid of it in favor of a new one.

I'm definitely on a diy kick this week, as I made a pretty bracelet and some earrings to go with it. The bracelet will have to wait 'til another post, but here's some pictures of my pretty Eiffel tower earrings, my favorite nailpolish (which matches the earrings and bracelet,) my super awesome free Starbuck's lunch, and my haphazardly altered cardigan.

DIY: Gift Bow!

First off, this isn't a tutorial (sorry!!) you can however find one on How About Orange. I had to adjust the measurements as my gift bow needed to be smaller, but the tutorial was extremely helpful!

I made the bow as a gift for my cousin's 20th birthday, and I couldn't decide whether to make a necklace or a headband, so I adapted and made it easy to slip on and off the headband.

Hope you like my pictures!
