i have been very busy with school, barn chores, riding, and being lazy otherwise.

i really need to work on actually getting all of the things i want to do done!

the weekend is almost here. but the weekdays arent so bad. :)

i've been getting up early just so i can wake up slowly.

i talk with my mom and sister and drink some french press coffee. (the best you will ever have! dark roast, people!)

i read my bible, pray, sometimes ill listen to a podcast by the youth leaders of generation church.

sometimes i study, sometimes i just sit there, wishing i slept longer.

but i love fall mornings :)

a peek

here is what i have done so far on the ipod cozie project.

i have somewhat combined two of the Sometimes Crafter's Tutorials.

I modified this tutorial's size to fit an iPod touch/iPhone.

And this tutorial was my example for the quilting pattern.

i love how it looks so far, hopefully i wont mess up anymore!

last time i worked on it, i was so eager to finish it-i had to rip it up three times because i kept forgetting steps. ;)

i think it should be finished this weekend...

thundering

this is a bird's nest that i found in a windowsill, the nest was built up to the glass part of the window so i opened the window and now we have a cutaway of a nest. :)

fall is coming to virginia.

its so cool in the mornings,

and the sunsets feel different.

the leaves are changing,and some are falling.

i cant wait to see it again, but ill miss summer.

its a yearly struggle for me :)

...................................................................................

im starting on a lot of different projects, there is a lot that i want to do and a lot that i want to learn. its hard to juggle school, volunteering, and still setting enough time aside for making things. especially with all of the extra studying i seem to be doing lately.

im working on an ipod cozy. i think i might modify this pattern from The Sometimes Crafter to fit an ipod touch... it shouldn't be hard. i had so much fun making the original pattern that i want to make some more in addition to the ipod cozies!

ill try to remember to take pictures as i go along in case anyone wants to try the modified pattern for ipods.

i shall leave you with some links!

i just recently found this photostream and i already love it.

Generation Church

they have amazing speakers, i love listening to their podcasts!

sonsofday

just discovered their music, its soooo good!!! LISTEN TO THEM. porfavor.

new

i deleted all of my old posts, just to start new :) it always made me sad when other people delete stuff that they wrote or made... i liked looking back and reading it all like a book.

now its kind of like a new notebook-all of the blank pages excite me!

it makes me want to write better, make better, and photograph better...

i want this to be simpler, i tend to make things more complicated and then it overwhelms and frustrates me.

so its new now. it needs a new name.
