don't call me little bastard, call me snake

I hate sewing. Like, I really, really hate it. And the feeling's mutual. I can't do it, I don't want to know how to do it, I give up with sewing. Unless. Unless it's a teensy weensy little bit of cakewalk sewing that will make a huuuuuge difference in whatever piece of clothing that unfortunately finds it way to my surgery table. My stitches are uneven, messy, and completely amateurish, but I'm sticking with the somewhat true idea that you can hardly even see it.

Anything that I can do myself that doesn't require sewing is something that I will absolutely put on my mental to-do list and luckily I've had enough time on my hands lately that I've finally been able to do it. Of course these things took about ten minutes each. As far as creativity goes, most of the things I've done are a replica or based on something I've seen someone else do, so I take zero credit for any of the general ideas. The things I'm showing in this particular post are based on something Kylie did on Nice and Shiny and something that Tavi sported on The Style Rookie. So, ladida here you go.

And my most recent/favorite DIY:

Suckily enough, I didn't have fake flowers when I realized I wanted to do this so in a five second internal debate I decided to make one with real flowers from my yard because, I mean, it would totally suck, right? And I won't care when the flowers die by tomorrow morning, right? And I won't cry, right? Wrong.

Ah, well. Tomorrow I have a hard day of library-ing, mailing a shirt for this giveaway thing, and shopping for pale pink fake roses and other lovely flowers because I NEED MORE OF THESE. I think I'm actually going to enjoy the dead flower crown, though. What was also great, I put all of the extra flowers in a few empty, cylinder glasses that used to be candles. I'm ~hip~ and ~innovative~ that way. Hip in the smells-like-a-week-old-funeral kinda way. ~Hip~
