So obviously I haven’t updated this in two months. Oops! The last month is completely because of my crazy finals schedule, but before that I just… I guess I feel like I have changed a lot in the last few months and somewhat regret not documenting it but I’m mostly happy with my decision. This post is going to be very rambly, so you might choose to skip it if you have no interest in my personal life!

As anyone in my real life knows, me and my very long term boyfriend broke up a while ago. I was a complete disaster zone for a couple of weeks because we had lived together for quite a while blah blah I thought I was going to marry him yada yada. So anyways, after I got over the initial shock and awe I started to realize how unhappy I was. We had comfortable, routine love, and I don’t think that’s something I ever want again. I want someone who makes me a little crazy sometimes, someone I can’t predict, someone who changes [in good ways] all the time so that I can do the same. And it wasn’t necessarily that HE was ohsoterrible or anything, I just realized I had become this completely submissive person. Someone completely comfortable not trying new things or doing anything spontaneous and any shred of creativity I had went completely missing.

So it has just been a very happy transformation back to the person I have always been in the past, someone positive and creative and a little vulgar and very silly and kind of weird and outspoken at the randomest of times. But I have been unsure of how I want to approach this blog. Whenever friends in real life talk about visiting my blog and talk about my outfit or a craft projects I get really flustered and embarrassed and I don’t know why because I am proud of most of the things I post on here. So I need to… work on not being so self-conscious about nothing!

Sorry for the ramblings on and getting 500 times more personal that I usually am, I just felt like explaining why I haven’t posted at all and such!

Um… in other news, I have brown hair now!

Happy Sunday

Slide Curtains!

I feel a little bad because I forgot where I originally saw this idea and am too lazy to look for it, but basically they had these curtains of like, 1000 color slide negatives and it looked way way awesome. I only had about 8 rolls worth of slides, so I made them into a little baby window cover with lots of space between the slides and kind of hanging in weird dangly strands. Whatev, I think it looks totes cool!

I kept reheating a needle and then sticking the needle through the corners of the slides so I would be able to thread them together. It was actually a big pain in the ass, to be quite honest. Then threading them together was an even bigger pain in the ass, woo! But it is done and I’m very happy with the weirdo effect it puts in my kitchen!

Oh, and of course it would be snowing the day I try to take these pictures. lose.

Cool Thing!

So I have been dying over this tutorial of a yarn string lamp thing for a while and finally did it! It is very very easy but probably one of the messiest things I have ever done (aka, awesome). I hung it from a clothes line, but I just happen to live in the windiest place in the entire world so I got messy goop all over me and everything around me. I didn’t wear gloves. I did slather to balloon in vasaline though and that really helped, I think. It would be easy if you had someone holding the balloon in place, or if the balloon was smaller… Anyways, it was fun and makes pretty/creepy shadows all over my room!

The Beauty You Are

You know how sometimes you read something and you know it’s something you want to hear every day? Well when I saw this Velvet Underground lyric on Milk Children, I knew this was one of those occasions :]. So… I made stencils and hung it on my bedroom wall! If anyone is interested, I have a desktop wallpaper version of the second image here! Have a nice day :].

Woot!
