So my brother is getting married tommorrow, and i needed a dress for the wedding. i couldn't find a single one that i liked, so i decided to try my hand at making dresses. i've only ever made skirts. i just drew a picture and figured out how to make it...so here it is...

For the skirt i used moonunit426's tutorial...seen here... http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=8617.0 and i used a pattern for the top. The pattern was actually for some ugly old lady shirt (no offense anyone!) it had no form and baggy 3/4 sleeves, so i (with help of my mom) fixed it, a LOT! so yeah, that's my new dress! i'm so happy with it, i might try making another one someday!

In art class we made these things, and it was so cool, i HAD to post it.

Ok, well, my dad has been building us kids this tree house thing, but he wants to put a climbing wall.  But in looking for the little rock things, we discovered we needed about 100 of them, and they're about $2 each. I was wondering if there's any way to make some, i really want to get him some for his b-day, but can't! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

Today, me, and my friend's went shopping at this store called half of half! it was the coolest store ever! it was all clothes and stuff, like rejects from stores, but all way cheap. They had a ton of old sweaters and stuff that had holes in them, so they were only 99 cents!!!!!!!! but you could use all this stuff to make things out of! they also had really cool plain purses that you can decorate! It was near North East mall and North Hills mall, in Arlington or Fort Worth! But anyone who needs cheap material, and sweaters to make things out of, there you go! and if you want to find cute outfits, go there!!!!!!

my sister taught me how to crochet before she went back to college this winter. Shortly after i found out about a retreat my church was doing this summer. My mom said I had to pay half, as did my friend's parents. Since we're broke little high school fish, we decided to make and sell hand-crocheted beanies. A lot of people at our church are buying them, but not many other people! Making them is no problem, it's selling them, any ideas???

Thrift stores have really cool sheets. You can use these as fabric to make some pretty cool wrap-around skirts. My sister found some old Star Wars ones, and I'm making a Batman one. I'll post pics once I finish it!!!!
