School's Out For Summer!

By -


Sccchoooollll's out for SUMMER!!!  And you thought student's where the only ones counting down the days till summer.  I have to say I am soooo happy that it's finally here.  It has been an interesting year!  Most definitely a learning experience.  I only have one more day of closing up shop and the summer will officially begin!

I am not teaching summer school this year so I have some big plans!  My summer is going to start off with a trip to Mississippi.  I know exciting right?  Well, it is all about how you look at it.


A friend of mine and I are going because she is doing research for writing project she's working on.  It is also and excuse to explore an area I haven't really had a chance to delve into.  We're going to be doing a scavenger hunt there as well.  I will try and post pics when I can.  So if you have any suggestions please feel free to share!  I will add them to our list and give you a shout out if we come across it.  The suggestions can be silly, serious, off color, stereotypical or non-pc.  Have fun with it!

I am also going to Comic Con this year!  I am dressing up, however, it will be non steam punk at least one day.  I have a video game co splay in the works,  I will be dropping hints as we get closer.   The first hint is this, #1: this person is female.  This is what I will leave you with  :-p

Lastly I will be camping with my family.  This is by far my favorite part of the summer.  Just getting away from it all and having some outdoor fun!  Again I will try and post from time to time,  however reception will be a bitch!

So that is it for now!  Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Crafting!

Poodle PIeces

Hello All, So I have started a small side project to keep my hands busy while watching the tube. I am making crocheted, poodle, toilet paper covers. Yes, the kind like granny used to have in her bathroom. What can I say, I have always like these kitschy little things. How can you not love them. I got the idea from a book I have mentioned before Kitschy Crafts. I tried going by the directions but to be truthful, it just looked like gibberish to me. So... I went online and started piecing it together for myself. I started off by looking up tutorials of how to crochet a circle. What I found was a tutorial on how to single crochet a circle... Single Crochet Coaster Tutorial Video Because I was new at this I decided to start with just one color of yarn. I followed the instructions just as she has shown. However, I kept having a problem. My circle wasn't laying flat at all. It was ruffling up. The ruffle was neat looking, and filed that away for future use....

Going... to the chapel...

Well perhaps not the chapel but the beautiful back yard.  Saturday was Kelly's wedding.  I have to say it was one of the top 2 weddings I have ever been to.  This was only second to a wedding that cost way to much and was held at the Sheraton. First off lets get it over with.  I know what you all have been checking back for... the DRESS!  Yes I finished it on time and it fit amazingly.  She was one of the most beautiful brides I have ever seen.  A lot of excitement, a little makeup and silk go along way.    My girly Kelly has always been a pretty girl, however I had never seen her look so lit up before. The day started off going to the salon and watching Kelly get her hair down.  Unlike most brides, Kelly went with flowing curls hanging down.  She had been growing out her hair for over a year just for this day (don't expect the long hair to last long!)  The curls just softened her so much.   From ...

So I went shopping on Saturday for my Dickens Fair fabric! I am so excited about starting this project. I went a bit crazy with the fabric. I spent most the summer working on a project for my wonderful friend Kelly. But I am happy to be working on a project for myself. I decided to go for less of a traditional fabric for my 1850's dress this year, and go for on that was a bit more my own personal style. Below is the concept sketch for my dress as well as the fabric samples. I will post more tomorrow about the patterns being used and what alterations I plan to make. Happy sewing! Nikki
