Bags, Bags…. August 8, 2007

Okay, yeah I know I haven’t posted in forever, but I thought I should show you three of my latest bags. Each of them were made with the help of my sister. I have been busy with sports and trying to finish my summer homework by its deadline. Yeah, I know always fun.

This bag here was made using fabric I bought well in West Virginia. And I tried making it from a tutorial off of Craftster.

Sorry the image is sideways.

This bag here is a reduced size from my normal sized totes.

The materials for this bag are off of the $1 per yard rack at Wally World. I am getting an addiction for buying materials. Every time I go to Wally World I bring extra money just to buy material.

Here is a bag my little sister want e to make her. Again, made with fabric from the $1 per yard rack at Wally World.

Well, that has been my life at home since whenever my last post was. With the exception of my to last travels.
Which were to boring Church camp, and amazing Washington, DC. I have a couple of pictures from there. Well, I was there with my fellow youth group friends. We did lots and lots of sightseeing, and like three community service projects which were all very interesting. One of them we decided to do on our own to take matters into our own hands. Since we brought our own food for like breakfast and lunch, and we had lots left over we decided on our last night there to bag it all into 32 brown bags and hand it out to the homeless in the circle parks and in the church yard. Each bag contained a piece of fresh fruit, an individual serving box of cereal, a fruit cup, a napkin, a spoon, a 8 fl.oz. bottle of water, and a granola bar. Well, that is about it. Here a couple of building I liked, and one of my friends chasing a squirrel.

the white house. the cops are there because the just arrested to protesters.

This the picture of their Chinatown friendship wall. But their Chinatown actual has no Chinese food places in it.

I just love the building with the gold leaf top and large gold leaf covered clock.

This is Marcy. She loved chancing the animals around the parks. I really liked the picture.

Good-Bye for now. I will be posting a picture later tonight of a reconstructed shirt I made.

Just Got Home. July 2, 2007

Okay, so for the past week I have been in West Virginia. Well, I was there, there was never a dull moment. And for as much as I eat out I managed to lose 2 pounds. I was excited. I visited the campus, and learned to make many things to try out on the new sewing machine. My cousin and her husband took me to my first every major league baseball game. The game was in Pittsburgh, and the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Washington Nationals played. After the game there were tons of fireworks they were awesome. I kept thinking that they were over when they weren’t because their whole show seemed like anyone else’s grand finally.

Well, we were at the game my cousin thought it would be a perfect opportunity to play with her lensbaby, we got lots of pictures.

We got a picture of us with the stadium behind us after the game, too.

Well, thats not all that I did there. I also played this game called disc golf, and surprisingly I was good at it a according to my cousins brother and her. I did plenty of shopping just like any other girl would do on their vacation. And every store I went to had amazing sales and I hit every sell rack, but I also went in stores I couldn’t afford and drooled at the stuff in them. I made my first great pieces of work on the sewing machine. First I learned how to make a log cabin pot holder, then we made towels, and a handbag. It took me a couple of times to learn how to cut the fabric right with the fabric cutter, but i got a hang of it. Well, my mission when i was going there was figure out what I want to do in my life but I didn’t quite figure that out. There my be a chance of me going into business or engineering. Yeah, I know to different fields but what can you do. Okay one last thing I also tried sushi for my first time every there.
