Just a Random Thought...
Hi people,
I just thought I should tell you guys/gals about my vacation. One of the places I visited in North Carolina was some place called "Hiddenite Gems inc. Emerald Hollow Mine". It was really fun and the thought of being able to mine for gems is an exciting one. There are 3 choices you can choose to mine. 1 is sluicing which is pretty much panning for gems, like gold panning. Another 1 is creeking, the same as sluicing but in a river and you get your own rocks,pebbles,and gems. The last one is "digging", this is mining, but I do not have any firsthand experience... I only did creeking and sluicing.
I also thought you might want to watch a documentary on food/heath called "Hungry for Change", and it is about what really is in food. Something I thought was interesting that I learned was that most people check the fat content in foods but the sugar is the problem... I have a very LARGE sweet tooth!!! ;D If you want to watch it it is in Netflix and probably in DVD/ movie rental stores.
I hope no one has the flu! :)
That's all for now! Bye!

This big rock in the upper-left might be filled with gems or quartz, should I break it? I will make a poll maybe around next Friday. Cast your vote in the comment box!

Snow Nails!!!
Hi everyone,
Merry ( late) Christmas and Happy ( late) New Year!!! I haven't posted in a while because I was in North Carolina for Christmas and the New Year. I mean't to post this a week before Christmas, but I was packing for NC... You can use this in a late Christmas party or a late New Years party.
Okay, for this project you will need-

Okay, for this project you will need-
- nail polish ( preferably white but any color will do if you coordinate the color of the polish with the gems/glitter) Do NOT use Essie nail polish because it is very light. California colors is a good brand.
- nail gems or safe body glitter ( I used nail gems)
- top coat * ( optional)
- Q- tips or cotton balls
- nail polish remover
- nail file * ( optional)
- nail clipper * ( optional)
- cuticle cutter/trimmer * ( optional)
2. Prep your nails by clipping, filing,buffing, cutting your cuticles, or polishing your nails. ***
3. Paint your nails with the nail polish.
4. While your nails are still wet, apply glitter by using the wood stick it comes with or if you are using gems, dip your nails into the little jar the gems come in or put the gems in a small shallow bowl or plate. If you made a mistake just use the nail polish remover and a Q- tip/ cotton ball.
5. Apply top coat when your nails are dry. ***
6. Flash off your new nails! ( My nails look messy because I forgot to remove the excess nail polish and I used many coats of Essie nail polish which was very light.)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!! : D

Swan Lake
Hi, I know I haven't posted in a while because I have been busy, but I did make a project. It is a very easy one and you can make little tiny, simple ones or big, decorative ones.
Okay, you need these! ( the * sign means optional )
Paper
Scissors
* Pencil/Pen*
*Eraser*
1. Gather all materials.
2. Fold the paper in half.
*3. Draw with a pencil/pen a half heart on part of the folded paper.*
*4. Outline a swan. The heart is the front of the swan's neck, so the body starts around where the bottom of the heart ends.*
5. Cut out the outline of the swan, make sure to cut out the half heart shape out FIRST, ( from top or bottom) THEN cut out the rest of the swan.
6. Unfold and you have a swan for some special/random occasion ( and a heart too!) ! Give it to your mom, teacher, friend, neighbor, anyone you can think of!
7. MOST IMPORTANT: Have Fun!!!

Blog Chronicals! Jigglin' Jellys!!!
Hi,
I haven't posted in a while, so I hope you still visit the blog!
Today we are making a soft,squishy, hug-able jellyfish! It might be a little hard for beginners so I will mark the steps that are optional with the * sign before the number and after the step . The steps that are easier for beginners will be marked with the # sign. This might take a few days if you have little time on your hands or if you take a temporary trip to (as one of my teachers say) " La-La land". Thanks to the "Calico Cat", I bought almost all of my materials except tape* ,scissors, and yarn!This is there website in Hawaii! http://www.thecalicocathawaii.com/ ( cut and paste. That was not a link.)
You will need-
Felt
Embroidery Needles ( the longest in the pack or the longest Embroidery Needle you have)
Embroidery Floss
Stuffing (Polyester, Cotton, Kapok, Bamboo stuffing- it is not the stick- , and the soft and classic; Wool. I bought my wool from the " Calico Cat", a fabric and quilting store)
Sharpie Marker* #
Scissors
Yarn
Wool (for needle felting), the package will say needle felting*
Felting needles*
Bells*
Fabric ( any type) for a bow*
1. Gather materials
*2. Thread your needle with the embroidery floss. Plan out how big you want the jellyfish to be. Mark the area with tape*
3. Cut the shape of the jellyfish out ; it will look like a half circle( cut around the tape). Peel off the tape on the top of the jellyfish.
4. Do a "whip stitch", or use the needle to go in,out, around, and repeat.( it will look like a old-fashioned leather pouch/purse.)
5.Sew ONLY the curved part/ top of the jellyfish. DO NOT SEW THE BOTTOM!!!
6. Cut yarn as long as you want tentacles to be.Tie the very top of the yarn in a knot a couple of times so there is a thick knot at the top of each piece of yarn.
7. Insert one of the pieces of yarn into the bottom of the jelly so the knot is inside the jellyfish. You should only be able to see the long/short strand of yarn, no knots! Sew tightly AROUND the knots. Do not sew through the knot or else the fibers will separate.
8. When you have sewn the most of the area around the jellyfish, peel off some of the tape ( about 3/4 of the tape) and sew ONLY 3/4 of the jelly so it has 1/4 of the jellyfish covered in tape.
9. Stuff the jelly until very soft and fat so the felt has expanded a little.
10. Sew the rest of the jelly.
*#11. Use a Sharpie to draw in the face or details if you want to. A lot easier than the next steps...
* 12. If you know ( or have) how to use a felting needle(s) use red wool -pink wool or any color wool that would look nice- to make blushing cheeks! <3 Use the felting needle to prick the wool over and over and over and over... Until the wool is embedded into the felt body of the jellyfishy!*
*13. Use a needle and thread to make the eyes by sewing a medium-sized oval in the jellyfish by coming in-and-out of the jellyfish; this is called a running stitch. You can make this go by faster by grabbing some of the felt on the jellyfish and squeezing the felt together so the fabric is ruffled and stick your needle through. I call this the " cheating running stitch", but I do it anyway! When you pull out the needle, there will be about an average of about 3( based on me) stitches per " cheating running stitch".*
*14. Make the mouth with a running stitch.I made an upside down triangle.*
*15. To make the bow, fold the fabric ( with felt or any fabric of your choice choice. I used a different fabric.) in half and use something like a clip to keep the fabric easier to use. Sew a triangle WITHOUT a point, don't sew the folded point. When you are done sewing a bow form( two triangles; don't sew either points on the triangles, you do NOT need to) cut the out outline of the seams and you have a bow l><l ! *
*16. Sew the bell on the bow any way you want to. Sew the bow- with the bell on RING RING- on to the jelly.
I hope you like like this project and I think I might do one with wool. Hmmm... See ya later! Meow :D

3D drawing today- Blog chronicles; later
Okay, today I'll show you how to make a simple 3-D image.
You will need-
* two markers like pink and blue( I like using highlighters)
* a paper, I used line paper because that was the only paper I had.
* and a pencil and eraser for more complicated doodles ;D ( optional)
1. Gather materials.
2. Take out first high lighter/ marker, I did pink first so try the lighter colors first.
3. Draw the ( in my case, heart, but try heart first because it is simple) heart.
4. Out line the color with your second color( do NOT trace the pink; outline it. It is fine to trace by accident.).
5. When your done, it should have a somewhat 3D appearance, or at least a cool look. I will be adding more crafts later so stay tuned! Next time in the Blog Chronicles; "A stuff-tacular time!"
