For 25¢ I got a pattern from 1984 which I plan to use to the full extent. Making as many pairs of shorts as I can.
Short.

Motivation?

“Whoa, I forgot I had this much fabric!”
Is what I was thinking as I turned this:
Into this:
But really, I wasn’t thinking that, I was thinking: “fold fold fold.” Not only that but I’m only halfway done! And I don’t want to go back. But once I’m done, I’ll be able to see all the fabric I have. All the projects that I haven’t done yet. Or the halfway finished ones. Maybe after I’m done I’ll be more motivated to get those half-projects out and finish them up! And if you noticed; the orange polka dots are leftovers from my dress.
Tucked away in my bag

This is what I had as my pencil pouch for most of the last semester of my sophomore year. I loved it. Every class I would take it out, set it on my desk, zip it open and get my pen or pencil out.
My Pencil/Pen Schedule:
1st: Phycology Pen
2nd: Biology- Pen
3rd: Pre-Calc- Pencil
4th: History- Pen
5th: English- Pen
6th: Art- Pencil
7th: Spanish- Pen
Of course, this was subject to change if I couldn’t find a sharp pencil or working pen.
But I used it every day. EVERYDAY. And pretty soon it started looking like this at the bottom:
However, if I covered it up with my pens and pencils it looked nice and neat..ish, but I decided one day to make a new pouch, I didn’t consider the diminishing amount of school days. I Googled a tutorial and found one at Annie Get Your Glue Gun. Using the tutorial, and an old Hawaiian shirt of my dads, and some leftover fabric, I created a new pouch, with a month and a half of school left.
I sat it on my desk and pulled out my pen or pencil every day. It sat through finals, fully stocked with working pens and freshly sharpened pencils.
Schools out now, this little guy is tucked away in my bag, along with my notebook. Just perfect for jotting notes on the run.
Freeze!

To celebrate a nice day like today, one of the first. I made Popsicles. And, since we don’t have any yogurt, I made concentrated lemonade and limeade and poured them into popsicle molds. We had plastic popsicle sticks that fit the mold, but we lost them, so I am stuck with aluminum foil, which is perfectly fine. I’ve made the lemonade ones before, and they were good, especially because the sugar settled at the bottom. I can’t wait till they’re frozen!
