Yup this was my Thanksgiving Break homework assignment. <3

You know I am on the right career path when we do arts and crafts in class! Gotta love Occupational Therapy!

This clay was awesome. Sculpt and then put it in the oven for 15mins and its dry and hard!! I wanna have a clay party it was so cool. Macrame was cool too but it took me a few minutes to remember how to do it. lol.

It's the time a year again. Gotta love Halloween! Let's talk about the costume first. I decided since I had the hair cut for Snow White I would be her. I went to the local halloween store and tried their snow white costume on. It was cute but sooooo cheaply made. Thin fabric and sad details. I couldnt bring myself to pay $40 for such a poorly made thing. SO I decided it was a perfect excuse to learn how to sew. And thanks to my second mom, I was able to help make this beautiful costume. I still need to learn more about sewing but I am so happy I started!!

Last year I worked on an alien space ship display. Well with the help of my dad, I was able to improve it greatly for this year's haunted forest. I am thrilled that it came out so well.
Gotta love space ships and aliens!

Finished my netbook case! It fits perfectly! And it is much better then any case I could have bought. I just love the colors!!

I was exhausted, but I had to do something for her for Mother's Day!! Just something fast, and cute. I think the earrings are the best part.

Better jewelry to come soon!!

I started making some things from the book Amigurumi World by Paula Rimoli.  I started with the cactuses for my desk but Mrs. Cactus still doesn't have a pot. Hopefully someday soon I will be motivated to make it. Still they both live on my desk.

Next thing is my friends bday!! So I made her a cupcake!

So I just finished another crocheted bear. Today is my mom's birthday and she really liked the bear I made for my brother. It's all wrapped and waiting for her to get home from work. Hopefully I will get a picture of it up here. My next craft will not be another bear, i promise. They are just soo damn cute! 

My brother had to have his appendix removed and he lives a million miles away. So I made him a teddy bear to help him feel better. So what if he is 24 years old. lol.

Alright so every year my grandma has a Halloween party for all the kids. I am in charge of decorating the "haunted forest." We have the usual things like a graveyard, a giant spider with webs everywhere, witches, ghosts, and skeletons. But this year I added a new display. A homemade alien space ship. I know it doesn't look too real but the kids really enjoyed it.
