Scarves + Fifth Harmony

So I'm extremely proud. I've managed to write 4,686 words or ten Microsoft word pages in two days, which might not be a lot to you guys (in fact I'm pretty sure it's not) but I'm glad I made myself do this project. 

I have even almost convinced myself that I can start my own novel pretty soon. Which would be awesome sauce. 

Today was so rainy and nasty! Blegh. Our backyard is literally brown slop with tiny dots of grass. I also painted my nails today, I usually don't because I am SO clumsy and usually scrape the not-dry-yet nails against something and mess them up. But I did them today and they look okay. 

On another note, a while ago, one of my aunts showed me how to make scarves with a type of crocheted yarn/lace. It's really simple and fun (and the scarves are beautiful). 

It might be neat to post the easy steps on how to make them here. They're perfect for birthday gifts or Christmas gifts if you celebrate Christmas (I don't, but each to their own).

                                               
   

Pretty, right? And there are so many blends of color that the materials come in. Personally, I think the blue's gorgeous. :) The other scarf is black in case you're wondering (because my sister just said "Maybe it's the lighting, but it looks blue") So. It's not blue. Yay!

Hehe. Okay, I'm done. Really. 

Enjoy this song (Better Together by Fifth Harmony). This group is pretty new and I really like their style. Hope you do to!


                                     

                                                                Hugs and Coolness,

Book Haul + My First Guest Post (!)

Image
Guys, guys, guys, guys. I did my very first guest post at Tansie Gray's blog Totally Tansie  and it was awesome collaborating with her! Tansie's blog is full of hilarious book reviews, rants, and writing tips. I had a great time writing the post: "10 Ways to Make Your Sister Mad"  I'd love it if you could pop over to Totally Tansie and check it out (And maybe leave a comment. Hint, hint). [][][][][][][][] I also went to my favorite used-books store last Sunday. I didn't get as many books as usual...Not many YA novels *gasp*. I felt unfulfilled. But I didn't want to spend what the books cost, so I snatched a few middle-grade types.  1. Princess Sonora and the Long Sleep by Gail Carson Levine A short fairytale re-telling of Sleeping Beauty in a funny, simple way. It's very  short. 107 pages short. 2.   The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan Book 2 of the Percy Jackson series! Now I can finally read it and see how it measures up to th

Airplanes and Sky

Remember when I talked about big travel things that I was going to do this summer? THE TIME. HAS. COME. IT IS HERE. YAY. As you can probably tell, I'm just a little excited. Me and my family are headed to Taiwan this summer for my uncle's wedding and since plane trips aren't really a regular thing for us, it'll be awesome.  If you know me even a little bit, you know that I love  traveling and gosh I'm just so excited to be able to be in and see another culture for a little while. *happy dance* Another reason I'm writing this is to tell you about how I get ready for major trips and whatever little tips I use to make traveling easier. Maybe they'll help you in a future trip. ^^ Any trip needs music, but especially one where there are multiple long layovers and a hugely long flight over the Pacific Ocean. I've been updating the music on my phone (music helps me sleep so much better too), which is fun and boring at the sa

Waiting on Wednesday {2}

Image
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where you talk about books that you can't wait to read, but that are, unfortunately, not published yet.   In a Handful of Dust by Mindy McGinnis Publication date: September 23, 2014 Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books The only thing bigger than the world is fear. Lucy’s life by the pond has always been full. She has water and friends, laughter and the love of her adoptive mother, Lynn, who has made sure that Lucy’s childhood was very different from her own. Yet it seems Lucy’s future is settled already—a house, a man, children, and a water source—and anything beyond their life by the pond is beyond reach. When disease burns through their community, the once life-saving water of the pond might be the source of what’s killing them now. Rumors of desalinization plants in California have lingered in Lynn’s mind, and the prospect of a “normal” life for Lucy sets the two of them on an epi
