Today was the last day of summer. So sad! And tomorrow is my last first day of school. Not quite as sad but I'm sure it will catch up with me....but prob not :) My sister and her bf were sailing today and invited me to join! I love swimming so I was quite estatic. Or however you spell it. My sister has all the photos of that adventure but maybe I will get them from her to put them up. After sailing the high lake, me and my friend went the the movie theater (where I used to work) and saw "The Switch" with Jennifer Anniston. It was a great film I would say. Perfect for the after-sailing exhaustidness.

The above picture (of me) is what I wore to church this morning and a pair of earrings which I just recently made (about 2 days ago)

Now I just have to figure out what to wear to school tomorrow.....

A vintage sweater. I love the colors! And it feels so soft, but not too warm.

My sister invited us over for a yummy dinnertime feast. Delish!

I made 5 pairs of earrings today. This particular one is half French candy container, paper holder clip, and circular mirror. The other side is a mini hair bow and a set of 3 beaded brown necklaces. Not very practical but I love really long, eccentric earrings. Maybe I can sell on Etsy.....? : ) My skirt is an American Eagle sweater I found in my closet; I tied the Sleeves around my front. The spaghetti strap is a brown Banana Republic and my belt is from Tiger Lily as a gift from my lovely sister :)

Since I'm not traveling anymore AKA in New York I'm going to start making this more of a fashion blog. Voila! I like changing old clothes and accesories to make them into something new and amazing...This 100% polyester evening dress used to be a robe until I tried it on backwards and tied the 3/4 sleeves in the back.

Back in Oklahoma

I have now been in Stillwater since August 1. I reallly miss New York. But my family doesn't like to hear that. The exhibition on the last day went great, I met Latasha and Lauren at Pratt. Everyone lovvvved my dress I made! It was my final project, we had to make something out of a t-shirt. AND now that I'm home I will put photos up :) Once I got home, the next Friday, we had a welcome home party for moi, and I hung up my artwork on the stairwell (after Lauren did a fabulous job painting the walls) And my parents, grandma, Lauren, Nature, and I just got back from a fabulous short trip to Branson, Missouri, where we swam everywhere we could, ate doughnuts, guacamole, and fudge, and drove down the strip numerous times at midnight during the car show in my Ford Escort with the windows rolled down and the music turned up. It was a lovely vacation :) and school starts Monday. Sigh. I may take an NOC class but we'll see. I've signed up for it but it used to be free and now it's nearly $600 which is ridiculous. Depressing news: even if I work on my portfolio nonstop, get a decent grade on the SAT, apply to various art schools, and possibly get accepted I'm still going to have to go to OSU, particularly because it's practically free. So question: Should I still try and apply and spend all that extra effort and go out of my way to try to be accepted into a school that is 98% likely I won't be able to go to anyways? GOOD news: I got my nose pierced
