strapped.

So I just found out that I scored a great new job, but I know I won't have as much time to get crafty. I'm trying to do as much as I can this week so I can knock out a couple of projects I've been wanting to work on. The first came today while I was working on a mountain of laundry. I got a super sweet camera for Christmas so I decided to make a camera strap cover to go over the boring black and yellow one it came with.

I used fabric I got on sale at my last (4 hour) trip to Joann's. I used a few tutorials (mainly this one) from the internet to get the best idea of how make it and then went for it. I made one and it just wasn't right. It fit a little too tight and just looked really strange. Honestly, I rushed through it..but that's just me. I have to do pretty much everything twice in order to get it right. What can I say, I'm used to it.

Here's the fabric.

And the final product!! Totally meep, right?

p.s. notice the new hair color? any thoughts? I really like it, but blonde will be back.

hello.

so i found this on etsy. so cute. would have been quite useful for a halloween costume i put together a few years ago...but honestly i'd wear this ALL the time. i want it.

blonde.

so i got my hair highlighted at the beginning of the week in preparation for summer. i usually try to go extra blonde for the summer months and my roots were so bad i felt like toddlers were even staring at them. as always, i kind of hated it at first. But now it's growing on me! Here are some pictures of the new color for your viewing pleasure. I'm not very good at picture taking yet...since i got my first digital camera only a few weeks ago and i have ADD when it comes to reading instruction manuals. but it may have been because i was driving, drinking a red bull, and trying not to hit pedestrians in downtown memphis while having this photo session. trust me, it was necessary to put everyone within a 50 foot radius from me in danger to capture these.
