Whatevs

So, as you likely know, I'm going off to university in August, and I'm going to be staying in a dorm. As such, I've been thinking about decorating and stuff like that, and I decided that, hey, I want to make a banner.

So I did.

The funny bit is that it's in my school colours, and it was completely on accident. I like accidents like that.

Anyway, here's what you need in order to make this:

• Fabric, in coordinating colours or not. Your call.
• Scissors
• A rotary cutter, which isn't necessary, but super useful for cutting your triangles
• A straight-edge, which will make your life better when cutting those triangles
• Ribbon or bias tape
• Fabric marker, or a really soft pencil, or whatever will mark on fabric without lasting forever
• Embroidery thread
• Embroidery needles
• Sewing things, which might just include a mom willing to sew everything together while she's sewing anyway.

I totally changed the fabric midway through. Not even sorry.

A Crown of Daisies

So today, I decided to get all kinds of crafty. I've been wanting a flower crown for a while, mostly because it would enable me to feel like I'm frolicking through meadows or something, even when I am very clearly not. I figured I would make something a little easier to pull off than the Ren-Faire-style daisy crown I already have.

Just chillin' with a barbarian. This is from two years ago.

So instead of the wreath, I used a headband. The headband was originally going to be covered (well, not covered) in big spikes, but since I couldn't find any, I decided that flowers should suffice.

Let the floral festivities commence! But first, let's get you all inspired and stuff.
