We also have a bird, (Chloe) and 2 goldfish, Lox and Keys.(We made that name up, thinking it coverd all the irony we needed in our lives. On second thought, yeah, right.)


Happy weekend.

Elvish hairstyle!

Well, having recently watched The Desolation of Smaug", I came up with a hairstyle that looks like the Lady Elf's. I did not read this, I did not see this on Pintrest, I did this from my own head, so it didn't turn out as well. But still, it looks pretty close. I started with:

6 ponytail holders

hair clips (optinal, do not recommend these with thick hair)


See? Very simple supplies. No reson NOT to try it, right?

Start with brushing the hair you are working with. This does NOT work well with tangled hair. Then, separate the side hair from the back hair. Separate the side hair into 3 sections. Leave the front section alone, this will hang in front. Braid the second section.




Braid the third section.







Do the same on the other side.




Then, take the two front braids and pull them behind the head, using a ponytail holder to hold them togethe and pull the ponytail holders from the bottom of the braids.







Unbraid the extra braids and smooth them into the back part of the hair.




Take the third braids and do the same thing as with the braids before, only pull them together lower. The finished project should look like this.








Thank you, Mom, for letting me do this. Thank you for reading and attempting this style. I know you were probably gritting your teeth in frustration at some point, but its worth it, anyway, isn't it? Enjoy!

Easter Cards!

Just in time for easter, I got the perfect idea for easter cards. Using:

Tissue paper

Glue

Googly eyes (optional)

Paper

Drawing utensils ( I used markers and crayons)


I folded a full piece of paper in half, hamburger style. Then, I cut tissue paper into strips and glued them on the front. On some, I glued the top of the egg down beside the egg, and drew a chick popping out, adding googly eyes for eyes.







. Inside, I wrote a message. I wrote "He is Risen! He is risen Indeed!" and " Happy Easter! He is Risen!" but you can choose your own message.

So, pretty simple supplies, pretty quick, cute Easter cards. Enjoy! Happy Easter!

Finger nail polish tips

This is a post for those who like to paint their nails! Also some tips on color matches. I like to paint my nails, so for christmas, I received a nail dryer set, which is the purple thingy in the background. I love using it although it is hard for me to use the fan that dryes them.




These are the colors and dryer. Sorry for the blurryness!

What you want is a smooth even coat, like this,





Here are some matches,










This blue and red combo will show up later!:)






These colors all go well with this...




I might have some more later, but thats it for now!

Clay roses

Take 7 balls of clay ( the color you want your rose to be,) and roll them flat. Then roll one up to make a rosebud, then put the others around it like petals. Then take another 2 balls (Leaf color), flatten them, and put them around like leaves.

Crazy Animal Fold-Outs!

This is a fun craft that makes a good gift, in place of a card, for anyone! First, cut the body out from paper. Then, cut legs, head, and tail, then arange them to look like what you want it to. Choose what part(s) you want to fold out, and fold accordion-style. Then, just write a message!
