Happy Saturday! Hope yours has been more exciting than mine. I've quarantined myself to my apartment so that I don't leave and go shopping and hense buy something with money I don't have. So here I am surfing the Internet in boredom, but no worries, you shall benefit from my turning my brain to mush. In my quarantined state I decided to do something crafty, because if you've ever known me at any stage of my life, you know I love making a good craft. In fact in high school one of my friends proclaimed that in Sarah's world she can make anything, even a TV. Now I haven't tried my hand at electronics, but how cool would it be to say, "Hey I made that TV you're watching right now. Like the rhinestones?"
So to get inspired I looked up some craft blogs and found you all some pretty great stuff:
The first is http://www.craftgossip.com/. Craft Gossip looks at other blogs and finds the best projects in a variety of crafting categories (my favorite is sewing. I think it's the problem solving it takes to put the pieces of a pattern together, plus the freedom of picking from all the beautiful fabrics out there). This led me to some other blogs such as Tatertots and Jello which then led me to where I found this recipe:
Banana Nutella White Chocolate Cupcakes
I think this person is my soul mate. These look pretty complicated, but 100% more food-gasmic than my nutella s'more, so if I make them I'll be sure to give you a review.
After finding all of these great sites I made a headband with fabric flowers (it's a bit juvenile so I might take it apart and make it for a child) and a patchwork pillow which I have to say is pretty cute. Pics will be coming soon.
While I worked on all of these fab-o projects I listened to my new favorite song: Sara Bareilles' King of Anything. You should check out the music video here. This song makes me so happy, because I think it reminds me that I am who I am and no one can take that away. A good reminder at a time in my life when I finally think I'm comfortable in my (extremely pale) skin.
I too locked myself inside all day to avoid spending money (well that and avoid having to be in the heat at any cost). Also, love the King of Anything song. Also, I would love a rhinestone t.v. so please let me know when you create one.
ReplyDeleteAt work today my co-worker brought in her new rhinestone covered stapler. She claims that she got it so no one could take her stapler and say, "Oh, was this your's?" So -- the rhinestones are in. As an aside, I will be returning your call shortly. We got in from NYC at 4am yesterday so I'm a bit spent today. Sigh.
