Tie-dying!

by Chantelle - 6:36 PM

Once upon a time, Chantelle and Elizabeth decided to try tie-dying t-shirts because neither of them ever had before.

(Before)

They covered the table with generous amounts of plastic and paper...

...and twisted the shirts all up.

They put on huge plastic gloves and squirted dye all over the place. But miraculously none of the dye got on them!

I like colourful things.

Then the shirts were wrapped up and put in saran wrap to let the colours sit.

They threw the shirts in the wash later and voila!

(After!)

Tie-dyed t-shirts= SUCCESS!

It's true. Instead I am currently ~~listening to~~ singing along obnoxiously with my musicals playlist. On the weekend I watched the musical Oliver. I may or may not have had "As Long As He Needs Me" stuck in my head for days. I also may or may not have it basically memorized. I suggest you hurry up and listen to it. But listen to Ruthie Henshall's version, not the movie one.

Today brought good conversation and hang out time with Ben. It also brought passion tea lemonade and lemon poppyseed loaf from Starbucks. It was very happy. Know what else makes me happy? Ben's blog. You should read it here. (Yes, I shamelessly plug for my friends. Haters gon' hate.)

We went and sat in the comfy chairs in Chapters and read books whilst sipping our beverages. I read Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein. Oh Shel... We had to hide our family copy of The Giving Tree for awhile because it had a photo of Mr. Silverstein on the back, and my little brothers thought he was a serial killer and got freaked out.

Sena and I played today! We got Easter supplies at walmart. And we filled eggs. And decorated. We were basically Easter machines.

Later, Spencer and Hawna and I came over and we all had an Easter egg hunt with Sena and Nathan for Family Home Evening. Hooray for having cousins nearby!

And now I bid you goodnight. I must go study psychology. And stab my eyes with a fork. Finals need to be done. That is all.

Recycled Couture

by Chantelle - 3:47 PM

Last Tuesday, I was out for cocoa with some of my friends, and my friend Nicole mentioned that she had been invited to an ABC Cabaret at the school on Saturday, and asked if I would come help her make an outfit. ABC, as I found out, does NOT stand for "already been chewed" (thankfully), but rather "Anything but clothes". That meant crafts! I love crafts! I instantly agreed and we excitedly grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and began drawing out our ideas. The boys kind of scoffed at us for thinking we could make a dress that fancy out of basically garbage. That didn't sit well with me. I was determined to prove them wrong.

This weekend I went over to her house and we began the project. The only requests she had were 1)She wanted it to be blue and 2) She wanted it classy. (As if I would let her go looking anything but... ha.) We ended up making her dress entirely out of plastic bags, and I think it turned out quite well!
