Inside Out :)

Heyy (:
So, yesterday i found this kool random craft project i had done awhile a go.... 
So, i have this green skirt with lots of flower-ish designs on it... 




So, i like it, but it's not one of my favorite skirts ever. So last Halloween when my best friend and I were making our costumes, I needed a skirt that i could cover in duck tape (it's a long story ;P). So, I thought at first that I would use this skirt and just turn it inside-out, then cut off the skirt and cover the lining. However, when i turned it inside out, I really liked the way the lining looked when over the skirt...



Ok, so these aren't the greatest pictures, but it looks really cute ;) So, instead of cutting it up and covering it w/ duck tape, i instead turned it inside out and wore it that way XD
I used a different skirt for my costume ;) So, that is my amazing inside-out skirt!

Nail Polish - Who knew?!?! ;D

Heyy (:
So, today i was home alone, and i was sitting in my room, bored. I was randomly playing with my pencil, and i was thinking about how boring it looked... and then i saw the nail polish that was still on my desk from when i had painted my nails earlier... and i got an idea XD
So, my mom says that nail polish is just paint... so i used it as paint and made my pencil prettyful!!!! haha XD





I couldn't get very good pictures, but it looks really awesome now XD soo... ya!!! nail polish is an amazing paint!! but i wouldn't advise u 2 use it as paint that often as itz expensive for just normal paint n then itz all gone :P
Right, so Happy Crafting Peoplez!!! SMILE!!!!! ~LizzNerd the Painter!!! ;D

beware the scissors..... o.O haha (:

Heyy (:
so, the other day i was at a loss for what to wear. i wanted to wear something yellow, because i felt like wearing something yellow, but i only have on yellow shirt and i didn't really like it...
                                     

I didn't like the collar thing, and they sewed it wrong so the edges didn't lay flat. So, i decided to fix that...
and i cut it off! :D

So, here is what it looked like afterwards...

As you can see, it's not that much different. itz like a sweater now... i just wear a tank top underneath it, which i had 2 do b4 as well because it's kind of thin... so ya! thats all really (:


Here it is on me... i like it (:

So, Happy Crafting!!! SMILE PPL!!!! ~LizzNerd the Crafter (:

Polka Dots! ♥ (o:

Heyy (:
So, last night i was hungry, and i was craving cake. Sadly, we did not have any cake or even any other desert for me to eat, so i decided to rectify that... and so i made a cake! XD





The cake itself was really easy to make, as i cheated and used cake mix XD, but i did make the frosting ;)
i don't remember the exact recipe for the frosting, and i don't feel like getting up and getting it, so I'll write what i think it was, and you can just experiment XP

1 8 oz. package of cream cheese,
1 tsp vanilla,
1/4 cup of butter, softened
4 cups of powdered sugar.
mix together the cream cheese, vanilla and butter untill they're creamy, and then add the sugar gradually until it becomes frosting! then you can add food coloring if you want. i used green and blue ;)

so, i took the frosting and frosted the cake green, using lots of frosting because i like it XD i then took the blue frosting and tried to do polka dots, because i thought it would be kool. At first i tried to do it with a spoon, but i failed miserably, and so i gave up and asked my mom for help. she told me how to use the baking tips or whatever they are, and so i had my daddy get them down for me and used them to make what were supposed to be polka dots, but looked more like giant chocolate chips to me XP However, it still looked kool, and it tastes amazing, so itz all good ;D
right, so that's pretty much it! ;)

Itz A Monday! O.o

Heyy (:
so, today is Monday, like in case you didn't actually know that ;P, and i just happened to be in a sewing mood... O.o
That doesn't happen very often, so when it does happen i always rush to take advantage of it. Therefore, today when i was dressed and deciding what i wanted to do today, i decided that today was the perfect day to tackle all of the random projects that i had been thinking of doing the last week, but had never actually gotten around to doing...
So, i got out all of my materials and ideas and everything else required for crafting days, and got to work.
First, i decided to make myself a new swimming suit top.
 i don't like wearing one peice suits, as they are uncomfortable to me, and i don't like bikinis and besides they're not modest, so i always wear tankinis. however, i won't wear them if they don't cover my stomach, as it's akward. so, as my swimming suit from last year was too short, i needed a new top, and not finding one at target, i decided to make myself one from my old one peice swimming suits. so, i cut off the bottom of the swimming suit, cut off the straps to my old bras,  put them into the swimming suit, sewed it all together, and made myself an amazing 'new' swimming suit top XD


This is my second try, which actually worked. my first try was not so succseful, but it still works... just not for me :P

As you can see, it doesn't look that bad, but the ruffle on the bottom looks rather weird with the skirt i have, so i'll use the first one and try and find a different bottom for this one ;D

My Second project was to make a new bag that i can use to carry my books for school. As i only have two binders, a notebook, my water bottle, and then some other small books, it doesn't need to be that big, but it can't be too small either.


This is the finished product. I took two squares of denim material and sewed the edges together. i then took a strip of vinyl material and pinned it to the edges of the bag. i put it all the way to the bottom of the bag, but you could make just put it at the top. then i sewed it to the bag, cut a square of vinyl for a pocket, sewed that on, and Viola! itz done :)

I also took a t-shirt that was too big for me, and sewed up the sides so that it now fits me. i don't have any pictures of it tho, sorry :P

Well, that pretty much concludes my crafting for today, so...
Happy Crafting! SMILE PPL!! ~LizzNerd the Crafter ;D
