Something seems a bit sketchy.

So we had severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings last Friday, so Alex, Katelyn, and I left school early. We went to my Nanny's house and hung out in her basement! We started drawing from Papa's drawing books, and we all drew this tree! I guess it coulda been better, but I never draw anymore and i'm not very artistic anymore. I'm pretty proud of it anyway(;

I also drew this zebra!

Baaby

So I finally had to take care of a fake baby! I had this little guy for the weekend. It cried all the time, and I had to feed, burp, change, and rock it. Him, actually. I named him Mitsubishi Toshiba Miremoto Sebastian, because he's obviously Asian. It didn't really drive me as crazy as I thought it would though. I actually kind of liked him! 

  

Family picture! ♥

Say goodbye to bad dreams!

As you will come to discover, I have one of the craftiest, most creative, most nifty families ever. For Christmas, we decided instead of buying everybody gifts, we would make them! I know this is a little late, seeing as it is almost March... but I figured I would show it to ya'll anyways.

I made everybody dreamcatcher necklaces! And since I didn't think to document and take picture step by step when I was making them, I just made another one (probably my LAST one, seeing as it takes a couple hours and I made myself every color already) and took pictures of it. 

For the ring, I used these cheap little bracelets I bought at Wal-Mart for around three dollars. Some had charms, which I easily removed, and some were somewhat weaved-looking, as you can see. Those didn't work as well, which is why I still have so many of them. 

I used suede cord and hemp cord, as well as thin black thread (i used white thread on some of my other ones, but I chose black this time!), and of course, feathers and beads! I also bought the thread and cords at Wallyworld, however I got the feathers from my aunt Laurie. She plucked them off of the quail herself! Check her out!

First, I took one of the bracelets and tied the suede cord tightly at the top, making a knot and a loop. I then began looping the black suede cord all around it.

After its all wrapped tightly and tied at the top near the knot, I began weaving the intricate design in the middle. It's hard to make it nice and even; the one I did today isn't the best but I figured it didn't really matter! If you didn't notice, there's another dreamcatcher in the background that my cousin Lacey bought me an an estate sale! It smells sooo bad, but it's sooo pretty. 

Then I added three feathers somewhat evenly spaced at the bottom, attached with some thin gold wire. It's not too terribly difficult; the hard part is making the wire tight enough where its looped around the ring so that it doesn't move too freely when you're wearing it. Trust me, it would drive you crazy too. It's also hard to do it well enough to where the feather won't fall out.. I'm not sure if that's even possible!

The last thing I did was I added a bead at the base of every feather and attached it with more wire. 

I added one more bead to the loop at the top and some hemp cord as the necklace, and then I was finished! You like my shirt? It's Lacey's (; princess-lacey.blogspot.com! 

These are the others I made for Christmas before I gave them to everyone! Tan, brown, gray, and black! I even have a teal, but its mine (;

So yeah, two hours to make that little thing. I'm probably not even going to wear them anymore because the feathers constantly fall out, and its a hassle to reattach them every day. I might just put this one on my wall somewhere! Hope you enjoyed, <3

Hey There

Hey there! My name's Jessica. Im sixteen, but I've barely been behind the wheel of a car. I'm scared to death of growing up, and I'm trying to hold on to my childish side as long as I can. I'm not too crafty or talented in any way, but if I do manage to put something neat together, you better believe it's gonna end up on here! I have a few ideas for things I wanna do and make, I just gotta get myself up off of my lazy butt and do them haha! I'm a hopeless romantic, but I try my best not to let that mushy, lovey-dovey side get the best of me. I love surprises, but I'm not the best at expressing my surprise. I love hugs and meaningful little things.  I absolutely love music, which explains the three-million-billion songs on my playlist! I'm going to express my feelings and show off my few accomplishments on here. I made this blog because.. I don't even know, it just looked like a fun way to document the little things I do and plan to do in the future. Hopefully it will come to entertain you as well, haha. To start off, here are a few more things about me.

My life is almost completely centered around family. They ARE my life. I love them all to death, and I honestly don't know what I would do or where I would be without each and every one of them. Even though not all of them could be in this picture, you will definitely be seeing a lot more of them as my blog progresses. 

Secondly, these are probably my closest friends. One being my cousin, and one being my boyfriend, and two not being in this picture at all.. which reminds me, we need some pictures of all of us. Anyway, friends don't play as big of a role in my life as family does, but they are still important and one of the only things that get me through the school day haha. Dalton, Riley, Swenson, Kya, Alex, and Katelyn, I love all you guys. 

I love owls, bows, flowers, mustaches, and rings! It's not that great of a picture, but i thought it expressed my love for those things better than any other picture I have so.. <3

And this blog wouldn't be complete if I didn't put something about Alex. He's my bestfriend and my boyfriend as of two years ago. I won't put too much, but I will say I love him to death and he means the world to me. End of story. <3

It's nice to meet you guys, I hope you enjoy!!
