Let Go of Fear

Lately, I've loved gathering inspiration from other blogs (and my new love, Pinterest) but I've become a little intimidated by what I see - incredible projects that I'm almost afraid to tackle for fear of failure.  And then I stumbled upon this post called "You. Can. Sew." at Whipstich.  And it helped, and I hope that you go read it and get as much encouragement as I did! 
Therefore, I'm going to link up to some pictures of a few projects I'd like to tackle this summer...without fear.

There are, of course, many more.  But I'll leave you with those for now.  Go out and create because you can and you are good at it! 

Happy Easter!

He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.

Exam Week

This is my final week of classes before exam week, so I probably won't have a ton of posts.  But don't worry, that just means that summer is coming and there will be a lot more from me (:  Instead, I'll leave you with some of my favorite Pinterest finds as of late.

Have a fabulous week!

Remember my in progress projects from here? Well, one of them is done.  
Here they are...pretty poms all ready to go on a headband (: 

The pile of them makes me so happy! 
As for the other in progress...well I made a toga out of it for a toga party, but I'm planning on making it into a real dress when I have time between all my final projects/papers. 

What I Wore Wednesday: 3

I'm a little embarrassed...this has apparently been the week of the ponytail for me (which I normally never do).  But, here it goes. 
Friday: Reading tutoring

top: Target kid's section (hence why it's so short and needs a tank underneath) 

belt: Target

jeans: American Eagle

boots: gift

Sunday: Panhel and sorority meetings

It was FINALLY warm (: (: 

dress: La Posh style

bracelets: gift

sandals: New York and Co.

Tuesday: Class and teaching at Head Start

sweater: Macy's

jeans: American Eagle

flats: Target

Wednesday: Class

shirt: Kohl's...appliquéd by me

earrings: H&M

jeans: American Eagle

flip flops: Old Navy

Conclusion...
1. I think I may get my hair cut soon.
2. Also, if you read my first week WIWW, you'd know that one of my reasons for doing this is to become more confident in having pictures taken (even if it is self-done) of myself.  I do already feel a little better about it, but still fairly awkward.
3. If you notice the change from Friday to Sunday...boots to a strapless dress and sandals...that's what living in Michigan will do to you!  

Linking up with Lindsey from The Pleated Poppy and many other fabulous women.
