Bed nooks, Books, and Summer Heat.

So as it reaches or passes the middle of summer the temp. is certainly rising. We reached 106 degrees last week, and hopefully thats the hottest we get over here. So as we crank up the a.c. and stay indoors, the longer I have on the ol' computer. So as I was reading some of my favorite blogs, I came across this post by Meg over from Threadbangers http://enderbynest.blogspot.com/2010/07/home-sweet-home.html
She features these really cute bed nooks, which I just love!
How fun would it be to have your own bed nook, I think with a curtain it would be little a mini room. I love how the first one have a window, and I love how the second one has a nice quilt and light.
And to complete my post I simply must cover books, I've been reading  a few different books I've been reading ,
Host
Retro Style
forties fabric
Molly's cook book
&
Drawing on the right side of the brain

depression sets in slowly

My all time favorite show Threadbanger, is completley falling apart, Meg, Corinne, and Rob are leaving, For good. And they're being replaced by wanna-be's. Threadbanger will NEVER be the same! :'( This is the worst thing, I've never imagined that they would quit, how could they. Where ever they're going, whatever they're doing I wish them the best of luck. And If they are reading this , I want them to know. Never stop crafting. Never.
Forever sad,

Friday Craft,

kay good news people/followers/friends ,
I am going to post a craft HOW TO every friday. And since today is Friday, I'll start today.
Now that both of my grandmothers have passed away, I thought that I should do a craft project that both of them would have done, and apprecheited. I am doing a 'baby blanket' even though it will be for me, and I will make a blanket, not a burp cloth. So as I was researching a project to do, I came across this; http://www.mormonchic.com/crafty/crochet-edges.asp


This website is the best by far, including step by step photos, and easy to follow description. And since on fridays I'll post the project I am going to do, or want to do, I'll try to post the finnished project, A.S.A.P  But since this is a more complex project, It won't be done for a while.

This is another good website; http://sewchic.blogspot.com/2007/07/crocheted-edge-blanket-tutorial.html,
and this one http://www.ehow.com/how_5808759_put-edges-flannel-baby-blankets.html


In other News, Selena gomez is starting her own line DREAM OUT LOUD! comming soon to K-mart stores, http://justjaredjr.buzznet.com/2010/06/26/selena-gomez-dream-out-loud-now-online/
I just cannot wait for it to come out, I love selena's style on-screen, and off !


I've also been watching Bewitched on hulu, http://www.hulu.com/bewitched  it's a really funny show about a witch named samantha who's married to a mortal named Darrin, Oh and Samantha's mom tends to just 'pop' in at times, and even though styles class, all is well in the end.
And even more news
So, My sister broke her arm, agian, and so the rest of my family went to the hospital last night ( not me ) and came home at 3 in the morning. I stayed up watching Bewitched, Wi(t)ch I ♥ , and then this morning we went to get her a pink cast. when we came home, my package had arrived! I got some wire letters from PB teen to put up on my wall, I am decorating my room, not re-deco, but decorating finally after months!I also got a bedspread from target, and a yarn milk crate, and I am taking in our robins egg colored desk and stool for my art table, (which I ♥ ) I am going to make some pillows, and do a little re-organizing. My mom is helping me make a headboard, and I'm going to make a funky retro starburst mirror, By the way, if some has a *starburst* *mirror* I would be willing to take it off your hands. :D
