Graduation Dress Contender Number 1

I don't like the way they styled this, but saw the dress in the store and LOVED it! I think it would be perfect if I had it shortened to the knee and wore it with a skinny black belt and red heels!

Distractions

So my Mom and I got distracted on some outdoor projects and haven't got to sewing yet. On the bright side my husband and I whipped out our old fabulous camera that was a hand me down from his brother(who is an awesome photographer by night, real estate agent by day). I am SO excited to get to play around with it again. Here are some pics from today.

This is the good ol' trusty sewing machine my Mom and I will be using! I love it, it is in its own cabinet...I am trying to convince her to paint it a fun color!

Creative Juices are a flowin'....

So, I am back in school for my last semester!!!! (I am totally not counting the two GE classes I still have to take...pretending they do not exist!) Due to school starting my Blogging has come to a cease fire...but hopefully not for long. I am feeling so inspired and creative right now. I have so many ideas that I can't even keep up with myself! I LOVE when this happens. I never know when it is going to happen or how long it will last but I try to savor every last second of it when it is with me.


For my senior project I am going to be designing a High School of the Arts that also focuses on Vocational studies. I am SO into this project. One, because I love the design process and two, because I am so passionate about giving children the opportunities to discover their talents. Today our schools are so focused on testing that I feel they have lost the ability to really teach kids the importance of self discovery. I do believe in education, but I also believe the youth should be given the opportunity to learn other skills. Anyways enough with that, I am so excited to start designing this school! This is a picture of the Watson School for the Arts...I love this building. It is my first inspirational photo for this project.

Some other exciting news...my Mom and I have been sewing our little heads off! I have learned so much from her and am so lucky to have such a talented patient Mom to help me learn. We have also been brainstorming some really fun ideas. I won't go into them yet, but I think we are going to start selling some things on Etsy. If you don't know what Etsy is you are really missing out. It is an online community that allows people to sell their homemade goods. It has everything from clothes to art, and furniture. You should all check it out! I am off to go sew some more. Hopefully I will have some fun pictures of our napkins to show you soon! Have a great weekend!
