I made this and it was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!! And so easy, and so few ingredients! I'll definitely be making this again any time I need some high-class sugar!!
I would like most to visit Paris. I just want to be able to sit in a little cafe and be surrounded by people speaking a different language, and be able to observe but still be separated. Being alone in a foreign environment fascinates me.
My favorite thing about New York is to be able to walk down any street and be able to see people of all different races, ages, sizes, shapes and colors. It's like taking a slice from each slice of a pie chart.
Yeah, I think it actually was something like that. I was looking at the contest, thinking of how awesome it would be to win an awesome women-built guitar. Then I took out my dad's guitar to try to get inspired. It's the perfect size!
You all should definitely make one! I want to see how other ones would turn out, and what cool variations you make!
Ooh, this is so ideasmartness! I love it! I totally want to get married barefoot someday! This way, my poor little toesies wouldn't feel too naked. Tweehee!
I remember in my Waldorf kindergarden, we made these by taking a tennis ball, making an indent in the sand, and then putting little shells and rocks in the "mould" so that they would show up on the outside. Thanks for bringing it back up!
I must say that I have three rock loves. They inspire me, and I look up to them in many different ways. The first one is John Lennon. I love his music. It is beautiful, and he was an amazing songwriter. The second is Tavi Gevinson. It really amazes me how someone the same age as me (three days younger!!) can be so successful in... life. I am very much inspired by her. The third is closer to home, my friend Louise. She has ideas and ideas overflowing from her brain! She is a lover of fashion, and together, we make a great team for making things! I value our friendship very much.
Whenever you have a boring shirt-button-downs, tees, anything!- take a thread and some sparkly seed beads and add little splashes of color and sparkle in little flowers, bursts, lines- the sky's the limit! It'll always spruce up any outfit!

No. I really wish I had, though. But I have had thoughts about using it as a pattern for another dress. I could do some other design instead of the ruffles, or copy the ruffles, too. If I ever do make one, I promise I'll post it! I actually got it at Urban Outfitters (on sale, I might add, because a strap was broken-disconnected-ripped off. An easy fix! That's the only claim I have to it, and that's a bit weak!)
AAAH!!! IT'S SUCH A PARADOX!!! Definitely would have been helpful! I remember for my first how-to I forgot something or another and it wouldn't let me publish! I didn't see the sign that told me what I missed. ;)
Try, try again! If you can get a couple done, you'll see it through new eyes and the rest will be a blast. You usually get a couple of tricks under your belt, and then you'll be assembling like a pro!
Gosh... I can't remember! I think I was thinking about stained glass at the time... It was really fun to see what patterns I could come up with! (and would work!) I'd love to see other people's versions of it!
When I was in elementary school, I got gum in my hair. It was pretty funny watching the secretary debate with the other secretary (no nurse) on what to use. In the end they used peanut butter because someone recommended oil. However, when this was first suggested, one of the secretaries wanted to put GASOLINE in my hair! Funny memories...
Yeah, I've heard of people doing that. I'm sure it looks much nicer, but I'm too lazy to do something that fancy! But you should definitely post a version if you try it! (Or already have)
Hey! Thanks for the favorite and all of that, but what I really wanted to say was PERTH??? YOU ARE SO LUCKY! Some friends went on a honeymoon to Perth and said it was GORGEOUS!!!-(and it was, from the pics!) One question- do the kangaroos actually hang around there or do they put feed down to attract them?
*GAAKKKK* I really hope I do win! That's nice of you to say!
I usually never even bother to change the thread color at all to match the fabric. I went through one sewing binge that resulted in various colored tees, all with red thread!!! ;)
I did enter it, really hopeful I win! Have you entered anything?
BTW, I'd love to see how you did your version. Any chance you could post it? I have also found that if it slips down too much, you can tie a simple knot at the top and tie the ends around the back of your neck. Works great, but it makes the front go up a bit. Might want to wear it that way with pants!!
You have to make three folds in all. The first fold is where the top crease already is. Right now the crease goes up, and you need to make it point downward. To make the other three folds, just make upward folds where you stopped cutting. (The corners you make in step two.)
I've always heard that after you dye you should:
put in a plastic bag
leave it overnight
leave to dry in sun until dry
put in hot, dry cycle
wash with a cup of vinegar.
My uncle tye-dyed and that's what he always said! Anyone else heard this?
I recently saw something like this. It was rolled up disposable diapers made into a three-layer cake on a cake stand and held together by ribbons. Very cute!

oh yeah. ummmm...... i sorta took a break and ate dinner there. and then i took my hair down from the awesome french twist that i also have a how-to on.
erm..... i think that four minutes is what you meant to say? (you said four hours.) and thanks for posting, i never really knew what i was supposed to do with one. now i know it goes in your hair. ;)
