So good.

I made these.

I part of the point of this blog is to update ya'll with my most recent creations, and here are two I am particularly fond of!
The first is my take on spinthread's style of necklaces, and the second was inspired from the iconic necklace in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. When I went back and looked at pictures of said necklace, i realized mine wasn't quite like it at all..but I'm ok with that.

Jesus shaves.

thank you chris hall, for bringing this into my life

Proverbs 17:5

"He who mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker. Whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished."

Its so uncomfortable to think about the ways we carry this verse out. Every time I read it, it hits me like a lightning bolt.

I think the first part not only applies to the poor, but to everyone...God values people above all things, and when we trash talk them, we are devaluing his masterpieces. I feel guilty when I smack talk Salvador Dali's paintings..but some how, I can let pleasantries slip out of my mouth without giving a second thought. Every time I read this verse I feel convicted to do something about my nasty habit of talking about others.

The second half is even more uncomfortable. Every once in a while, each of us are happy to see the arrogant snob fail miserably, or whats-his-face act like a dork in public. Its sad, how we can take joy in someone's misfortune, but its a fact of life...it happens.

I don't know, my point is that this week, it is my goal to be more mindful and loving about how I react to, talk about and think of others.

I love this billboard.

Andy's Resort Wear Design

Hello readers! Sorry I haven't posted in forever. This lovely saturday morning, I had a much needed catch up on my Project Runway. Episode 7 was all about resort wear, and I just had to share Andy's design, I loved it soooo much! Its a day to night sort of thing..this really glamorous bathing suit with a beautiful bathing suit cover up,that just transforms it into this greek-goodess-of-beauty sort of dress.

and here is is being judged:

My New Favorite Website

DASANI water has launched a new campaign called "Green Cap", which encourages people to find inventive ways to recycle their waterbottles! The DASANI website now features a green cap DIY page. I just liked the idea that they are encouraging craftiness and planet saving, all in one :)

SPINTHREAD

This woman is a genius. She got her start selling vintage eyewear on etsy. She learned to embroider when she got a job at a hotel botique, and that led to her beautiful accessories.
Without further ado, here are her beautiful creations:

More Questions:

1. What was the coolest Halloween costume you ever wore?
2. If you had to be named after a state, which state would you choose?
3. What is your favorite game show?
4. What is the most memorable class you've ever taken?

Comment with your answers :)
Here are mine:

1. In 3rd grade I was Pocahontas. I even had this little leather purse with fringe and everything. It may not have been my coolest but it was definitely my favorite.
2. Arizona or Michigan.
3. Minute to Win It, or Let's Make a Deal. Let's make a deal is really so cheesy, I just have fond childhood memories of watching reruns and being amused with everyone's costumes.
4. My public speaking class, freshman year of college. It was really cool the way the class was set up, and everyone got to know each other really well. it was intimidating, my first year in college- but that class made us friendly. Also, people told really funny stories.
