Crafty Dorms are Happy Dorms

I know I have barely posted anything since I've been here at HU, but that's because I'm just having waaay too much fun to be posting on the blog. I have done several crafty things this week, including tonight, that I want to share with you. I'm so proud of these projects I've already posted them on tumblr, but oh well. I like blogger, bust sometimes tumblr is just so much faster and I just use it for my random postings. But here is a list of what I've done:

• Recycled Coca Cola cardboard Notebooks,
• Began knitting fingerless gloves because its freezing cold here in AR,*
• and made my own version of a Thatched wall with pages from a book (my mom won't like this one)

Here are the pictures:

*I don't have a picture of the fingerless gloves yet because they are still in the process of completion, but hopefully I'll finish them this weekend, so I can actually use them before it gets back to 80 degrees out. It may be the end of October, but the weather here is so funny. Oh well! Good night, its been a long day. Peace

Fabric Skirt

Here is a skirt I just made, here in my dorm room. I have my sewing machine here at school, so I whipped up my first skirt ever!

It even has pockets. I am so proud of myself! Also, another accomplishment is I sewed a pocket into this shirt I bought from Ross. I have yet to wash it, so we'll see what happens when we do. But this is me being creative at college! Now I have to ask, Hey mom do you like it?!?! Hehehe xD

Think Red Toms....

Then, think homemade shoes. I successfully made my first pair of house shoes! I just used material from a dress and scrap fabric I had laying around. And I made my own version of toms.

This is college.
Some of this is decorations for my room.
Some of this is sketches from my sketch pad.
Art is my major. And some of this is from that class. I'll specify in each caption. I love doing art. I love sewing, design and making things.
Anyways... That's about it. Peace. Lizzy

College

Okay So I'm officially in college now. I have started decorating my room, but its not that good. So as school goes on I'd like to put up more art projects and make my room pretty. I might go scrounging in the trash can for some cardboard to make some art out of it soon. :D Anyways, more posts to come soon!
Happy Day! Peace

New Projects

I made these from different slices of fabrics i had laying around. I just got a new sewing machine (working) its a Singer "Talent" and I love it. It does everything I need it to do, and more! The more part is what I haven't figured out yet, but that's okay. I am taking the machine to college with me. Which, in fact, it is less than a month until move in day. I'm super excited. My room is pretty empty by now, I've packed all my clothing, and a lot of random things I'm taking. I won't list it all, in hopes not to bore you. But I have tons of crafty things which I don't know what I'll take or what I'll keep here, or get rid of. I am really trying hard to sift through everything. But you know us crafty people, we can't throw anything away. So most of it will probably come with me and the rest will stay here. 

This is a bag I made. Blue and yellow stripes.

Black and White Scarf. About Six ft.

Front side of Pink Skull bag. White Liner.

Back side of Pink Skull Bag. Perfect for school, with pretty purple pockets.

I hope you enjoy this weeks new crafts! Hopefully more to come before I go to school! Otherwise, see you then! Peace.

This is My life as Liz xD
