Macy's bike themed window display

The State st Macy's in Chicago has this great display for spring! Lots of stores were doing this last year around this time. It's nice to see it making a comeback.

Princess Bubblegum Amigurumi

 

My latest project: A super sweet amigurumi of Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time! I'm really excited about this because it's for one of my friends from college. About a year ago I made her a Marceline doll. (which I sadly don't have a picture of) I plan on posting a listing on the Etsy shop for a made to order PB soon! 

I'm really sad spring break is about to be over, I never get enough crafting in when it's school time. I want to make more Adventure Time amis!! I'm thinking Tree Trunks or Beemo... or Hotdog Princess?

I just love Instagram XD

Shiny Headphones

Super sweet sequined headphones I made this morning. They are Sony noise canceling headphones which looked pretty boring when I got them a couple years ago. Then last night I saw a post by this girl named Melissa via craftgawker.com. I also found her other post for wrapped ear buds, perfect distractions from the papers I should be working on. :) The ear buds were pretty time consuming but I had a couple movies to watch. I love the way they both turned out! Yay for playing with Instagram!

Beemo Scarf!!

Almost finished! I was finally able to pick up the felt :) Yay spring break!

Look what I found at Michael's!

 They had this cart at the store on Clark yesterday! I though it was awesome :)

Custom iPad Case Tutorial

Here's my first tutorial!<3

Materials needed:
-Clear iPad case (mine is the Belkin Snap Shield for iPad 2 which works with the Smart Cover)
-Scissors or x-acto knife
-ruler
-cutting mat
-pretty paper!

1. Cut the paper to about 9 1/2" x 7 1/4"
2. Round off the corners and cut a slit in each one (so it will follow the edge of the iPad)
3. Cut out paper to correspond with the cut outs on the case
4. Place the paper in the case and snap it on!

done! woo! Now you have a custom pretty iPad case which is easily interchangeable, make as many as you want to match your mood!

I plan on carrying these in my Etsy store pretty soon! I'll post a link when I do.

Chicago

Wow. I am so in love with this city. I always knew in my heart I would end up here some day, and now that it is a reality, I almost can't believe it. I'm close to the rest of my family, I've already made awesome friends, my bf and I are happier than ever... I can't wait to start school!
