Sewing and Sunflowers.

I've been a crafty mood lately. I've done some sewing since my mom set up her sewing machine in the dining room. In the past three days I've made,


A doll skirt,


A bag,


And a small throw pillow for my mom. :)



All of those were made out of the same material, (An old sheet I'm guessing it was,) But I found different fabrics so now I'm going to be making different things with different fabric.



Also, I painted six feet of sunflowers on a concrete pillar down by our basement. They will wash away next time it rains, but I like them. I'm thinking about painting some on a protected but visible part of our barn. :D Here is a picture of the sunflowers that took me two and a half hours to paint (I was outside until fifteen after nine painting them. That's why the picture is so weird, it was taken at night.) :

And yes that is the shadow of my figure taking a picture of the sunflowers. (My brother shone a light nearby so it was easier to see.) Also, look by that door, on the left side, overtaken almost by the light, is a sunflower that won't get rained on. So it will be there for a while. What do you think? Did I do a good job painting flowers? :3

Abbie R,

Randomness. Literally, just random stuff and procrastination.

Hello. Okay so I have this plan to post all the stuff from my quick vaca in NC for a family reunion, but I probably won't because I'm lazy......




Update on me health: My parents and I are like 95% sure I have Acid Reflex. Lots of Tums and Keifer are helping keep the horrid stomach aches away, it's not a concerning health issue, but the fact that I have it, It just. Ya know, bugs me.





Why do I feel like everyone on the internet probably sees me as sweet and nice and geeky and smart and always dresses modestly? I have no clue. Because today I went out shopping with my mom wearing not appropriately long shorts, and a shirt that if I grow two more inches will be a crop top. ;)



And gods my personality. I'm pretty and thin and I get stares and such from guys. But even though I dislike the stares and whistles, I still act really, flirtatious. I swish my hips when I walk, (Not always on purpose though, LOL.) I keep a little smile or smirk on my face to keep people amused, I'm just interesting like that. I always feel like when I'm actually allowed to date, I will try to be good but I will be a little to flirty. It's kinda my personality. If I could choose different song lyrics to describe myself:


'She's cool but she's cruel and she knows what she's doing......... She's bitter sweet, she knocks me off of my feet.'



Haha. That is me. I'm nice and all in some ways, but I'm downright cruel in some spots. Just in The way I treat certain things though. ;) I think that guys will (are) liking me. And I THINK that they may picture me as a bit, bitter sweet. ;)




Welllll, this was fun. Oh! A storm is (was) here where I live, in a minute and a half of strong wind, we lost two and a half trees. One HUGE probably seventy foot Hickory Nut tree, one Maple, and part of a Juniper.




Yup. That's it. For now. Bye.



Abbie R,

Me again!

Hi. This time it is NOT midnight. It's the afternoon.

So I think I'm gonna try cosplaying Astrid Hofferson from HTTYD. Younger Astrid though, because I'm closer to her age. I'm going to get a blue shirt and add some green and brown if I can. The shoulder pads I'll make, I just need some cardboard and other stuff. The skirt will be hard. Reddish brown leather, but I might try a fabric in that color on top of linoleum, and paper mach'e the spikes.

The boots I'll try to buy, they need to be brown... The axe will be hardest to find/make. But, I can find the leggings and make the arm guard thingys pretty fast. The headband is like, insanely easy. 

My eyes are so close to the same color as hers, and my mom said she can out highlights in my hair for the summer, and if I can just persuade them a little more, I'll be getting her bangs eventually. Probably I'll do them myself so they look more rugged. :D Now, that pouch on her hip, and the skulls are my final problem... Foam cut outs spray painted? I could stitch the pouch myself maybe...

Well, until another post.

Abbie R.

*Awkward Silence* Hello.

So where I livs it is currently 11:40 at night. I should be asleep given I have to work and go to VBS tomorrow. But I'm awake (and blogging?) There is the most ANNOYING birds outside my bedroom window. And I really should go to sleep. Haha this is fun. I actually think I had a post in draft supposed to go up before this one, but I never finished it. LOL.



GAH I WANNA SHOOT THOSE BIRDS!



So this weekend I will be at a family reunion. I have to miss the super fun and exciting last night of VBS to go to a reunion with a bunch of family members I don't know. But, I will probably bring a doll or mini doll, and like last year get some pictures.



Maybe do some blogging via non internet needing, writing, app. So that I can enjoy documenting everything, and then later throwing it in to a post and hitting Publish. :p



Update on the now:


I'm busy, and trying to do this week long workout to get back into shape. I do like 50+ crunches on the days I'm supposed to, (I think I missed today's. Oops.) And 30 minutes of cardio. I'm also considering going 24-48 hours of drinking nothing but homemade juice and maybe some Keifer. But it's supposed to flush the bad stuff out of your body, so I'm think that next week I might do that, but for now I'll just make myself some juice and drink a glass of that a day to keep healthy.



It's late, I'm tired, goodnight.
