This weekend I made cupcakes

An Actress on our hands....

This is our space out west. Who knew designing western is SO MUCH FUN?! We do have to look out for critters like little pigs. (What?!?) Yes, they are feisty, ugly, and they have horns. Oh yes, did I mention the cougars, and rattle snakes?!

Some how I am related to this guy...

And this guy too.

Quick update!

No, I have not died. I have been SUPER busy with school though. Might you check out my pinterest album? You’ll like it if your crafty!

Ginger Bread House

On Under the Sycamore, the author said that she hot glued her ginger bread house together, and that is exactly what we did. We used this little kit which included a tricky-sticky icing pack. It was everywhere. In the end, we made it quite cute :)

Cousins from Norway are visiting and so this is our fab ginger bread house! 

Good ‘ol cotton snow...

Note the ginger bread man’s arm fell off.. We had to hot glue that together, including the christmas tree. Gotta love hot glue.

Christmas on Pinterest

Meet my Christmas board: 

More photos and the links to all of these photos are found HERE.

You have any Christmas boards? Put a link below and I’ll check it out! 

Death By Geometry

Check out this video I made with a friend yesterday, kinda as a joke towards our geometry teacher. She always tells us to take a photo if we cry during math, then send it to her, so why not make a movie instead?

Christmas Ornaments #1 cont.

I’ve also been working on my henna...

Sorry the photos are not all focused, been having “technical difficulties” with my camera lately. :)

Christmas Ornaments #1

I have been hooked on this bog called Retro Mama. She has a tutorial for these christmas ornaments that are little houses.

WARNING: They are so much fun to make. Beware you may make 10.

Ok, so her’s a photo of her’s:

You can find the tutorial here.

Here’s is mine! 

This is the first christmas ornament I have made all this year! I’m calling this Christmas ornament #1, and the next one #2, etc.

Even though we’re not even to Thanksgiving yet, I can still plan right? :)

-Copy and paste, what would you put as your answers?

Did someone mention new CAMERA?!

Yes! I did. Well, Urban Outfiters did but then I was like, “Woah!” and somehow spent 60 bucks.

Uh- ya. So I don’t really know how it works since it is film and none of it has been developed yet, but when I do, I will most defiantly post some ‘scans’ of my photographs. I don’t know how swimmingly well they will come out. For all I know, the photos are the type of blurry where it gives people four eyes and two noses. That would be awesome though. :)

Oh and I’m really into painting cameras lately! I found a print that used as an outline/inspiration from etsy. Your welcome to copy this camera shape/patter/etc! This painting is made with acrylics and is a few months old.

Also, this is my sewing table from two weeks ago :) I was working on a patchwork quilt skirt for someone and I’ll post photos soon.

Also, this is a photo of my pom pom balls that I made (new ones!) and they are rainbow colored. It’s hanging above my sewing machine. 

And that is rest of my update! :) Like Hannah Handmade on Facebook? Please and thank you!

The French Pedicure Tutorial

Ok Ladies. I hate having untrimmed and unkept toes that just look drab and so I picked up the ‘scotch-tape french manicure method,’ which is super amazing, and requires little talent! So here it is!

Put tape over the tip of your toe... this may take a few tries!

Paint over the tape then carefully take the tape off. Be careful to keep the tape away from cotton balls and don’t lay the tap roll on the carpet. The last thing you want it fuzz getting in your way when you paint.

Dip the paint brush in the remover and use this to clean up the bottom. This may take MANY tries! This is a long process, but the outcome it worth it.

Then just go over with clear!

And vowala! Your french pedicure is DONE! Good luck, and if you need help, you can email me.

*Remember this takes a LONG time to get the perfect line. For me, some times it take 20- 50 minuts, depending on how much of a rush I am in. Keep working on it and you’ll get faster and better!
