Week 2

Week 2 has passed and I'm still going strong! Hooray!












These are some pictures of the week, but you can go here to see the rest of week 2. I'm too lazy to post them all on this blog.....Yeah, yeah.

Geisha Bag

Week 1 photo set.

Alrightly, here are my photos for week 1. You've probably seen most of them already, since I was too excited to wait.

LA is full of surprises.

I've been itching to go to a fabric store called Michael Levine's, so I decided that today was the day to do it. As I exited the freeway I noticed that the cathedral was just around the corner, since I've been carrying my camera I thought that I might get some interesting pictures. So I went in and walked around. It is no surprise, I ended up in the mausoleum and guess who's crypt I ran into! Gregory Peck, I had no idea he was there. I couldn't help it, so I took a picture.

After, I drove to the fashion district in hopes of finding fabric for a bag I want to make. Of course I found a really cute print, which I'll post when I finish the bag. My LA adventure concluded at El Mercado de Los Angeles. I love that place! I go for the ice cream and churros! There are other cool things to see for those who don't have a sweet tooth, for instance colorful pinatas. Ja ja. I am really enjoying this photo project.

Year long project.

I thumbed through Photojojo: Insanely Great Photo Projects and DIY Ideas and I was inspired by their year long photo project. It involves taking your camera everywhere you go and taking a picture everyday, which is what I will do. I have started a flickr set for this week. I will try to keep weekly or biweekly update. Wish me luck!

Today's picture is of my cousin and her pug. Those two are inseparable!

First Blog of the Year.

Yay, it's my first blog of 2010. So far, 2010 has been exciting. I surprised myself and my parents when I kicked out some rowdy, annoying drunks who came unannounced and uninvited to our house. My father seriously needs to choose his acquaintances wisely. Any who, my days have been busy with craft making. Here are some of the things I have made.

Are you tired of seeing journals yet? I'm not. Tee hee.

This pattern is from Artsy-Crafty Babe. The fabric may be Alexander Henry, I really don't remember anymore. The bag was really easy to make and I loved how it turned out. I almost did not want to give it away.

I made this sling bag for my cousin. I found the pattern here for those who are interested.



Lastly, I have been wanting to learn how to embroider so I took advantage when my aunt came to visit from Mexico. She makes wonderful blankets, tea towels, and pillow cases. I started with a simple tea towel design and this was the result.
