Here is the finished canvas I painted for my living room. I really love green and am trying to incorporate it in my living space. :)
ANDDDD.... I collected all my yarn and started crocheting it all together as a blanket. It's going to be a a crazy, whacky-colored blanket but I think it will look awesome. Recycled in a way. :) It's a good thing I still remember how to crochet. My aunt, Rosie, taught me how when I was little. I was supposed to make her a blanket when I was younger, but I am not at all sure of what happened to any of the yarn or needles! Oops!

So, my weekend was a complete success. The wedding shower was so beautiful! Janet did such a perfect job on the planning, baking, and decorating. Nicole loved her magnet board! Everyone else loved it so much that even a few ladies took pictures of it to try at home! That made me feel so good!
The bachelorette party was a blast! I made many new friends as well as future plans. Everyone looked so great in pink and black!
I seriously had one of the best times with a bunch of girls that I have ever had and I will remember that night forever. So grateful! Thank you, Nicole, for sharing your special night with me as well as having me in your wedding. :o)
However; before I went to the wedding shower, I out to eat breakfast and then went thrift shopping with my mom and Scott. We bought all the frames from the store! She wants to make some for gifts, I think. We bought all different shapes and sizes! I think the variety will make for good practice as well as make really unique frames.
Kathryn- Lowes has rolls of sheet metal 13 feet long for $10.00. Holla atcha girl! :)
I also bought this really cool side table. It needs a little T.L.C. but I think it is going to be a great addition to my modern couches that I bought a couple months ago. They are going to be perfect! I don't know if I am going to sand them down and re-stain them or if I want to paint them a complete different color. Either way, I am very excited about it.

Here is a picture of the coasters that I made for my friend Alyssa! I have made quite a few for people as gifts! You can get the tiles from Lowes. Lowes and Hobby Lobby are the BEST stores in Oklahoma and I firmly believe that. They are really easy to make! You can do so much with a glue gun! :)

Hola!
I don't really have anything much to post about, but since this is a blog, I'll do my best.
Well, I decided to put off moving into my own apartment. I change my mind a lot, but that's what girls do. So, that's my only excuse. I decided it would be better to save up as much money as I can while I am in school and focus on studying and saving.
While having more money and more time on my hands, I am finally picking up where I left off in my craft-making. I haven't made anything in a while, but my friend KBURG and I went to Hobby Lobby (a.k.a. Hoblob) this past Saturday and I picked up some things I really needed to get to continue. I picked up a huge canvas and fake daisies.
I got the canvas because I wanted to paint my own wall piece for my living room (when I decide to move out). I can't wait to finish it to match my couches and pillows!
And I got the fake daisies (light purple and white) to make magnets for my magnet board that I am making for my boyfriend's sister's wedding shower. I haven't even finished it and I am all ready in love with it. I can't wait to see what it looks like finished and, of course, to see her face when she first sees it!
Here is what I have started for the magnet board. Let me know if you like it so far! :)

I am finally able to upload photos! Whoo! Okay, so here is something I did a while ago. Maybe in November? I'm not sure. When I was in high school I had a huge thing for zebra print. What girl didn't? Well, I loved to doodle and became decent at drawing the animal's print. This is just an old picture frame I had laying around!
I have been very interested in making my own canvases instead of paying for expensive artwork online or in stores. So, I practiced making my own and here are some designs I came up with. I made the flowery one for my friend Kathryn.
I also, lately, found this cabinet from a local thrift store. It needs a lot of TLC but I plan on working on it this summer. My little project for my soon to be apartment. :-)

Numero Uno
Well, I'm not going to lie. I was greatly influenced to start a blog by my creative, dear friend, KBurg. So here goes nothing.
My name is Hannah. I am 21 years old and currently reside in Oklahoma. I am a part time student at a local community college as a Spanish major and I work my life away as a full time bank teller. I also have a great boyfriend who supports everything I do whether he knows it's wrong or right (thanks babe, means a lot!). I am constantly surrounded by my close friends and loved ones who help me press forward every day.
This summer I have set out many goals for myself. Pass Algebra, lose weight, and even learn how to make new crafts. Over the past few months I have made a few things, but for the sake of boring blog readers, I won't post everything.
Also. This is my first time using this web site and so far I am not liking it at all. It's not letting me upload any photos. So, stay tuned?
