I left with no warning and for a really long time! Sorrrrrrrrry about that! I've been abroad for the past semester, in Ghana (if you're interested: blog + photos). 

Anyway, I thought maybe I'd try to breathe life back into this blog, with an update! I've been staying in my parents house in NJ (God, I hate this state). But despite the less than ideal location, (perhaps, because of?) I've been up to some crafty things!

-embroidery: so far I've only done french knots and slip stitches, but I made a sweet shirt from only those two stitches. The shirt was one that I bleach stenciled (poorly, might I add) when I was in high school (about 3 1/2 years ago!) and never wore because since it was a light pink shirt, it was near impossible to make out what the stencil (taken from an old concert poster of The Lucksmiths). So I embroidered the edges and thus, legibility!

-making yarn from t-shirts: this involves cutting and sewing together strips of t-shirts, very simple! i hope the scarf turns out well!

-keeping a creative journal: this has been great so far, I've been writing creative goals, accomplishments, supplies that I want/have, ideas, random lyrics and quotes and I've been doodling and sketching (which I am not usually in the habit of doing, so this is really good progress for me!). I definitely recommend this!

-cooking new things: I've made pancakes, guacamole, and tofu stir fry in the past week!

Pictures of the yarn and the shirt.

and finally, I cut myself new bangs:
