Old Buttons and Fabric necklace

This morning I woke up and made this Anthropologie inspired necklace. It was relatively simple to make and I am thoroughly satisfied with it!

not only does anthro make delicious clothes, but this picture from them with this bed reminds me of christmas and that wonderfully awesome feelings of all the covers surrounding you. It makes me want to run into the computer screen and jump into the bed.

confetti everyday

I'm working on making secret roommate presents and this blog inspired me! All of her colors and photography are the cutest and make my imagination happy : )

made a headboard cutting out contact paper, painting it and sticking it on the wall. every september i get the itch for doing something like this. (ps- i totally stole this design from here:http://www.cookiemag.com/magazine/blogs/nesting/diy)

Can finally scratch off my list of things to do in life:

1. Attend a Hindu wedding ceremony

There was so much going on that I didn't understand, but I am totally okay with that. Florida was full of so much love, witnessing the romantic love at the wedding and the friendship love of reunited friends.

Beautiful.

course requirements

in the career counseling course, our final exam is how well we did on our self-care project. we must come up with goals on how we will care for ourselves, act on these goals, and then evaluate ourselves.

i am so down for this class.

possible goals so far:

1) drawing

2) sitting in the backyard or couch 

how do you all do this?

rule- it can't benefit anyone but ourselves. 

dancey dance

this summer some girls in the program and i are dancing together up in north philly.  we're hoping to create and be able to show some work and they are such beautiful movers! excited does not even come close to how i'm feeling about this. this has been such a long time coming.

this morning was the first bridging the gaps internship meeting.  our main project for the summer is coordinating a community garden for the senior center and neighborhood.  i could not be more excited! this is exactly what i was hoping to be a part of here in philadelphia!   hopefully next spring the overgrown, abandoned lot will look something along the lines of this:

on another note: my nana pulled out a box of old, old photos.  if youre on facebook, you might like looking at the old outfits, hairstyles, and history that are in an album.  she's letting me come back during the summer to look through the entire box....!!!

raindrops and gumdrops

JoJo showed Carolyn and I a picture of an umbrella installation in Vegas.  Umbrellas make me happy, the colors, the shape, the way water just rolls right off them....mmmmmmm.  I like that people are being creative with umbrellas.  It's about time they were seen as something other than a functional accessory.

 Look at this umbrella tree (omygosh, i forgot about that show!!)

           

 if anyone is thinking about umbrella art.....you've found someone who'd appreciate it!

made my Summer-to-do-list yesterday.

on it, find fabric to make curtains and pick blueberries, 

among numerous other things that make my insides fizz and crackle like fireworks because today is the first day of june!

Its been years since i've gone blueberry picking with my dad . its time.
