What a pretty dress. I used that pattern for my homecoming dress this year too. I like it with straps

I know leftover burgers are already on the list, but I have a great recipe for chickpea and lentil burgers if anyones interested.

And all these idea's are great

 I'd love the recipe, if you don't mind. My partner loves black bean burgers but I want to try something different. thanks!

Mmm I'd also love your recipe. The only burgers I make now are black bean, they're really yummy I could live off them, so I'd love to try another variation. I've also wanted to try lentils in something, but I haven't found a recipe.
Here's my black bean burger recipe if anyone's interested:

1 cup black beans
4-5 baby carrots or the equivilant to that with a real carrot (lol I use baby carrots when I make these)
3/4 cup salsa (I use 1/2 cup of a spicier salsa with corn and black beans in it, and 1/4 cup of a mild salsa)
1/4 cup bell pepper (red, yellow, green, orange all are good)
1/4 cup onion
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup bread crumbs
1/4 tsp black pepper
chili powder to taste

Steam carrots in the microwave then put in a medium bowl with the beans. Mash together. Add salsa, pepper, onion and mix. Then add flour, bread crumbs and spices and mix. Form into four patties and bake on a cookie sheet for 15-16 mins at 425*. Serve on a whole grain bun with salsa, tomato and lettuce. Melt cheese on top if desired. Yum!

I double this recipe all the time so I have super simple lunches/dinners throughout the week. They also taste delicious cold. 

thank you so much for sharing this recipe! My mom made them for dinner a few nights ago and they were wonderfully yummy! A new favorite for me.

I love the fabrics you used. I especially love the green one - such a great color!

Wow. That is way way way creative. I would have never thought pantyhose could become a lovely basket! So neat.

Hi. My name is Kaia.

I am 14. I live in Minnesota. I am very introverted. I am not that exciting come to think of it. I would love to have a penpal though. I am going into 9th grade this year. I play the cello. (not very well though...) I do pretty much everything crafty. Sewing, knitting, cooking, random crafty ventures, etc.  I have been throwing pots on the wheel for 5 years and i love it. I love music. I love beck, guster, tegan and sara, the shins, weezer, bjork, sleater-kinney... and loads more. I love to read. I am a Harry Potter nut. I have and older brother (22) and an older sister (20). I do a lot of crafting with my sister. I love to camp, run, kayak, cross-country ski, canoe, and my parents really want me to start road biking. I'm vegetarian.  If anyone would like to be my penpal I would truly love it. I would really try to keep up and such with writing. ... I sound really boring. heh.

i dont see any pictures!

hate to bother, but i can't see them either. Sounds really neat though.

Soooo pretty! I really like the look of the shrug/bolero. I also love the button details on the halter. rad stuff!

I once made a canopy out of a huge embroidery hoop-- painted to match and a lot of tulle. (I can explain this more in detail if you are interested.) That'd be one way to make a cute and affordable canopy. It depends on what retro style you're looking for...maybe you could put up some old records on the walls.

Are you planning on painting your room? -- if not what color is it to begin?
