lovely weather--

Some pictures I've taken over the past few days, mostly yesterday and today.

And I just had to add this picture of the railroad tracks for something different.(:

The pollen has been falling the last few days...I really hope it rains tomorrow and washes away all the yellow powder..

a white scarf

A couple months ago, while shopping at Cato's, 

I saw a scarf I really liked and I figured I could

just get the measurments to make one myself.

Mom had some extra knit fabric, so I decided to try one.

----

All it takes is 5/8 yard of knit{I think I trimmed approx. 7 inches off the end}

Sew the 2 ends together than lay flat and
cut 1/2 inch wide fringes 5-6 inches long on both sides.

It took me less than half an hour to make.

-This is kind've what it looks like('cept mine's white)-

[pictures from Forever 21]

 

It's very inexpensive and easy to make!

Not to mention it would be a great gift!

i-heart-faces::dramatic b&w

The photo challenge this week at i-heart-faces is 'dramatic black&white'.

 I made a scarf like one I saw at Cato's, and wanted to take a few pictures of myself wearing it.

The evening light coming in my room the other day was absolutely

delicious and I was able to catch a few fun shots!

[click here] for directions on how to make a scarf

like the one in the picture above and more pictures.

I love b&w pictures and it was so neat to

see all the wonderful pictures other people entered!

Head over to i heart faces to see more b&w's!!

-my favorite scarf-

I got it at Charlotte Russe last fall at Tanger Outlets, while shopping with a friend.(:

-legos-

I haven't played with them in forever..They are alot of fun though.

-rubberbands-

They're so colorful I just love them. (:

Oh yeah, and they're alot of fun to shoot at your brother!

-markers-

full of color_bold

and my favorite tool to doodle with.

-speed stacks-

My younger siblings love stacking..

(If your not familiar with it, you can visit >SpeedStacks.com<)

Its supposed to help hand-eye cordination and is a wonderful invention,

but I think they should invent cups that are little quieter....

oh well, atleast its better for them than sitting infront of the computer or tv all day.

-a scarf I'm knitting-

Actually this is what inspired me to do this photoshoot.

I was sitting on the couch knitting and thinking how beautiful and full of color the yarn was so I decided to take pictures of colorful things!

-socks-

I really don't like them most of the time...

but they're not so bad when my toes are super cold.(:

-buttons-

*something fun to try:: put magnets on the back of buttons.

{you can get 18 strips of magnet at Walmart with one side thats adhesive

 and it only costs about a dollar!}

I have a magnetic chalkboard in my room,

so I cut the magnets to size, putting them on the back of buttons

and use them to hold up a collage of pictures.(:

No, I'm not so smart that I would think of something as cool as that, I got the idea from another blog..

 How do you like my "new look"??

 I'd love to know what you think!
