Project Dollhouse

My plans for this blog isn’t going where I wanted it to originally go, but that is the least of my concerns now. I’m not trying to neglect it, its just that I have a lot of school work. I’m in finals week right now, so you can guess where I’m devoting my time towards.

I wanted to start on a new project every week, but with my hectic schedule, that isn’t going to happen. With the upcoming quarters approaching, it will only get worse.

I’m going to post some completed projects for you to look at (Yes, this update is for you Kat). This dollhouse was made by Susan, Lily, Leslie, Daisy and Tiffany and I during the summer. Haha. Yes, its been that long! It is charity to help raise money for Kermit’s missionary trip.

Living room, this was made by Leslie, Daisy and Tiffany.

The picture is a little blurry, but it wasn’t my photo because my camera ran out of batteries unfortunately. :( But I made the vanity mirror. :)

Bathroom, I also made the mirror. :)

A picture of the whole bathroom.

There were more pictures of the bedroom and kitchen, but I don’t know where those photos went. :(

Enjoy!

Materials used: Random arts and crafts stuff found at Susan’s home

Another weekend in SF & more wedding stuff

Well, it looks like I’m going up to San Fransisco this weekend! I’m super excited! This is a “last minute trip before school starts again” but the real reason why I’m going up there is to watch Wicked!

Yes, I know I didn’t take advantage of the opportunity while it was in Los Angeles.

I am also going to check out the King Tut and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs Exhibition. I love ancient Egypt. In fact I almost considered studying Egyptology but then Psychology came along.

In the end, both are now located in one of my favorite cities which also gives me a legitimate reason to go up north. :) I will go ahead and post some pictures of corsages and center pieces that we spent 3 hours making for the wedding.

Here is a daisy corsage that I made which I also got to wear! :)

More orchid corsages!

I absolutely love tiger lilies….and I could careless about roses…

This is so gorgeous!!! Made by Aunt Wendy.

Have a great weekend!

A Gift for a Future Bride

I know it has been a while since my last update. I have been busy vacationing and make new projects. Sorry for the lack of updates as I am having computer problems. I had to borrow Kevin’s computer to upload my pictures, do some editing and blogging.

The reason why I am doing this project is because Kevin’s cousin is getting married on September 6th. I am making her several items for the wedding. One of them is a garter belt. Since one of the color themes is eggplant purple I decided to go with a light purple satin to contrast with the deep purple. This is what I came up with…

I have horrible photography skills so the pictures don’t look too good. Sorry! :|

Materials used: satin, thread, threading needle, elastic, lace and ribbons

Project: Mother’s Day

Alright, I know that mother’s day was awhile back. But this very project is the reason why I wanted to start this blog so I thought this would be worth sharing. I was thinking of a perfect mother’s day present I could give to all the mothers. Flowers would be the most typical gift. However, I am personally against buying flowers as gifts. Even though they are absolutely beautiful, they die within a week or so. So I didn’t want to waste my money going that route. Then I thought it would be neat to buy seeds and a flower pot so they could grow their own flowers! But, what are the odds of them actually doing it? So then I thought, “Hey why not give them flowers that they do not have to water and or maintain!”. Those decorative flowers in the stores were way too tacky. So I came up with the idea of origami flower pots as gifts! So this is what I ended up with…

Materials: origami paper, construction paper, floral tape and wire, ceramic pots, styrofoam, decorative rocks (to cover the foam), hot glue gun (to glue the rocks in place), ribbons and charms.

These items can be purchased at almost any arts and crafts store.
