Society dictates fashion. Irritating isn't it? Well, I'm sick and tired of other people telling me what styles I have to wear, and how short they need to be. Now don't get me wrong, I love new styles and I especially love getting new clothes, but I hate shopping because most styles are immodest. And it irritates me to no end.
So yesterday I decided to take destiny into my own hands.....and make my own clothes. I know. Daring! Adventurous! But those are 2 words that often describe me, so I'm going for it.
I will let you know how it all turns out, but here are the patterns that I bought yesterday, and yes, I did buy more than I probably should have, considering I have no idea how good I will be at making these, but I really don't care. I was excited, and when I get excited about something it is hard to contain.
Cute, right?! I can't wait to go get fabric and get started on these.
I have also recently bought a guitar, and I am fully intending to learn how to play it. I have dreamed of being able to play the guitar since high school and now that I own one, I will be the next Taylor Swift.
It's kind of nice not having school so that I can focus on doing things that I have wanted to do for a while but never had time to do. Especially because that time will all go away once I start EFY again this summer.

“Creation brings deep satisfaction and fulfillment. We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty. …
“The more you trust and rely upon the Spirit, the greater your capacity to create. That is your opportunity in this life and your destiny in the life to come.”
