Beaded Blessings

Hey! This past weekend my mom, Kayla, and I went to the Beaded Blessing Project at the same place where ThreadFest was. I brought Kirsten (Kayla brought Rebecca) and we went and sewed away! The idea was to create little bags to put prayers in but I think my project (even if it isn't a bag) speaks for itself! check out the pics below. :-)

An adventure by the beads!

We had so much fun!

Also look for a giveaway soon.............

AGPR Assignment 2

Hey! You might be wondering why I'm posting this if I am supposed to be at camp all week, well I am at camp but this is a scheduled post so it's been posted but yet I'm not here. I love technology.

Anyways, The 3rd assignment for the AGPR was Celebrity Inspiration- hard, yet fun! I wanted to be different so I found this cute pic of Emma Watson in an oh-so-cute dress:

And then I re-created it to be this:

I had a little trouble making it so my mom had to step in and save me. Like when I messed up on one of the sleeves so I decided to re-do it and cut out another one. And well, I must have been half-asleep (even though it was the afternoon) because I accidentally cut out the sleeve out of the front body of the shirt (it was lying around on the floor by the other fabric so I must have mistaken it for the huge piece of fabric which I should have been cutting it out of.)

I am dork.

Sometimes.

LIke the time I just told you about.

And when I told my mom what happened, she just laughed.

I laughed too.

It was something to laugh about.

But, you know, everything turned out all right in the end. :-)

Making A Western Outfit........

Hey everybody! I just thought I would post this quick update. I am going to make a western outfit! I haven't exactly started but I'm planning to start tonight. I will use the Liberty Jane t-shirt pattern (probably) and some plaid fabric. Then I will either make or buy some jeans. Do you think I should make them? Or should I order them? Now for the boots. Obviously I'm not experienced enough to make them so I was thinking of ordering them off of Liberty Jane.

But the cost would total up to $19 which would come out of my doll money. Do you think I should order them? Is it worth it? I would really appreciate your comments about Liberty Jane as I really can't decide!

Thanks,

Gabby

PS: I would really liked it if you could check out the doll's new blog- From a Doll's Perspective!

An Adventure in Sewing......

Hey! I finally finished my Liberty Jane T-shirt today! I had some help with my mom because some of the instructions in the pattern are a little unclear and some parts are hard to do. For the most part though, it turned out fine and I'm very happy with it!!!

I chose a nice lavender fabric to make my shirt out of. I got it in the bag of fabric I got at ThreadFest (to see the photostory on it, click here). It was great because it wouldn't stretch and their was no grain to worry about! I'm very pleased with the shirt because it's simple and will go with a lot of things.

Updates: I have started a new page called AG Book Reviews! There you can read summaries and book reviews on AG books.
