Style School

Ah, Style School. I was so excited about it, but now I'm just very far behind. I didn't count on Rylee wanting to do each project too...and wanting hers done first. Let's see where I stand:

• Style File (Inspiration Binder): Done! (But the cover is not...haven't been happy with what I've done, so it's a work in progress.)
• Project #1 - Wreath: DONE! It's wrapped, but I need to dig out the paper I want to use for the flowers. I changed my mind after the wreath was wrapped with yarn.


• Project #2 - Photo Wall Art: Rylee's is done. I need to print my photos.
• Project #3 - Studio Tool Belt: DONE...Twice! Did you see that??? Done!!! Beautiful, aren't they? I haven't used a sewing machine since my senior year of high school. I picked mine up from my mom and dad's, brought it home, and went to work. I'm proud to say my mom didn't have to drive over once to bail me out with it. Now, I'm not saying I didn't have to dig the book out and read it, but I figured it out myself.The turquoise tool belt is mine. The little pocket on the front is for my iPod...must have the iPod handy. Works great for a number of things...helping me concentrate, blocking out the rest of the house, blocking out Rylee's constant chattering and singing to herself, the list goes on. Now I won't have to put a jacket on so I have a pocket to stick my treasured iPod in...I just have to put on my tool belt.The pink number would be Miss Rylee's tool belt. She also has a pocket for her iPod Shuffle. She had to have one because I did. Unfortunately, Rylee must sing, quite loudly, when she listens to hers. Thus, then need for my iPod...at a loud volume.
• Project #4 - Necklace: I tried to make a fabric pom-pom, but it didn't look pretty. I didn't like the size either. Maybe I just need to practice and play with them, but I want a bigger pom-pom maker, which I can't buy in town. Can you say ROAD TRIP???
• Project #5 - Sketchbook: DONE! Not done...maybe today.

Now, please note that this is week one projects. Which was last week. Which means I have week two projects already. See how they aren't listed? That would be because I haven't touched them. I've looked at them. But I haven't even thought about beginning them. So, it would be appropriate to say that I am behind. I am so glad I'm not graded on this! I hate being behind!
