Prom Blitz 2012

On February 12, i participated in the Prom Blitz ReDesign Competition. Although i have apparently neglected to photograph my dresses before i started (cause i'm a bonehead!) i did however get some pictures of the finished dress and a few of the    competition. I placed third among Collage and University students.

New Year: New Blog

So i didn't make any new years resolutions this year because resolutions are dumb, but i did decide that i was going to take another crack at this blogging thing. I want to expand my scope on this blog from just clothing to all sorts of little amusing little endeavors. I would like to try and share some DIY crafty ideas as well.  Also until  recently the only baking i did in my oven was using the element to heat up marshmallows for s'mores. So i was thinking of trying to document some gluten free baking experiment as well.
