On the Farm!

So, since it has been such a long time since I posted anything, why not update this blog a bit more? Here's one of my favorite recently taken pictures. It's my friend's barn cat, and he decided he was going to model for me... Some day I really want to live on a farm with a whole bunch of animals. It's been my dream since I was a little kid, and I hope some day it'll actually work out! Just for the heck of it, here's a picture Ashley (whose cat this picture is of) took of my riding her horse, Pickles. It was my first time riding a horse without anyone directing the horse for me... Very exciting!

10-Minute Braided Belt

Front: Simple braid. For my waist it took
3 pieces of suede cord each a little over
a yard long... Guestimation!

Back: Added a few wooden beads to the end for looks (and to
keep the ends all going down and not flinking up). 

It's been far too long since I posted anything, not that anyone really looks on here anyways! But! Today I did something that I consider pretty cool. As I was packing for the beach, I realized I didn't like how any of the belts I have look with one of my dresses that I really wanted to bring. My waist is a tiny bit too small for the dress, so it kind of has to has a belt. So, I decided to make my own. Using a few yards of suede leather cord that I originally bought for bracelet making, I made this braided belt, and I really like how it turned out! For some reason it won't let me keep the photos in the layout that I want them to be in... So excuse this strange positioning!
