Day 3: 30 Day Challenge

Day 3: Your First Love

My First and Only Love-Jason. As I stated in the first day of this challange, I needed a prom date, a friend said she had a friend, who 3 years before we had gone to Disneyland with who might be able to go with me. I remember him being very sweet and thought it was a great idea. We started hanging out the weeks leading up to prom, usually at Disneyland. He was my first kiss and my first love. I never expected that it would last and we always had an agreement that if we were to ever grow apart or have different goals in life that we would part. We grew closer together luckily and have started a life together. I can't wait to marry my best friend, unfortunately I want to wait til we are done with school and it's killing me! I'm obsessed with weddings and cannot believe I have to wait 3 more years, 8 years together! At least I know the day is coming and it will make it that much more special. <3

30 Day Challenge Day 2

Day 2: Meaning Behind Your Blog Name

I came up with Tiny Crafter pretty quickly when I was setting up my blog. It's not a play on words I had thought of before but it was perfect. One of my favourite songs, being a dancer my whole life is Elton John's 'Tiny Dancer'. This was on af my favourite's cause at 5ft 1 and barely 90 pounds I'm pretty tiny, or petite if you will. My whole family is tiny, except my Mom but I didn't get the height gene, my little sister did. So as a play on Tiny Dancer but I'm a Tiny Crafter my blog name was born. :]

Blog Challenge!

So while I'm not working I have no excuse for not keeping this blog up but yet I manage. Well I've been seeing these 30 day blog challenges and I said "why not!" Tomorrow I also need to post the Halloween crafts I've already completed and decorated with. P.S. my favourite holiday is Halloween!

Day 1. Introduce yourself, a recent picture of yourself, and 15 interesting facts.

I'm Siobahn. I'm 22. I do every craft imaginable. I live with my boyfriend and my dog Boo, they are my world. This is the most recent picture of me, with a dolphin at Sea World. :]
Facts:
1. Siobahn= gaelic(irish) name for Sara. Pronounced Sha-vonne.
2. My dad is from England and therefore he couldn't give me a normal name and instead picked a hard, non-phenotic name.
3. My belly button is neither an innie nor an outie; it is shaped like a star :]
4. I have one tattoo. I got in in memoriam for my Grandpa. It is a heart made of black licorice (his favorite) and a shamrock (his last name was Reilly) and says Papa. I want more in the future.
5. My dog, Boo, is an Azores Cattle Dog. She looks like a hyena and is wayy too smart. She is the only breed I have found where they cut their ears round, like a bear. (we got her when she was older or we would not have docked her ears)
6. I used to be a ballerina but at 5 foot 1 there was no future career for me.
7. I have always had short hair. Usually so short its almost buzzed. I freak out when it starts getting long. I am currently trying to grow it out though cause I want long hair when I get married. It's driving me crazy.
8. I recently have been craving large amounts of popcorn.
9. My dream car(as discovered last weekend) is a '54 Chevy Nomad Concept. Only 3 exist so keep dreaming Siobahn!
10. I needed a prom date for Junior Prom. In comes Jason. 5 and a half years later we are still together. That never happens but we are so lucky. (it hasnt always been easy but so worth it!)
11. My weakness is hello kitty. I buy everything with her. It doesn't help that I can fit in kids clothing and Target has lots of kids t-shirts for her.
12. I am going to school to be a CSI. I have always loved it and the science behind it and the more and more classes I take the more I love it.
13. I collect old photographs from antique stores. Usually not of people(although me and my gf give eachother 'fabulous ladies' photos) but of landscapes, cars, odd things etc. One of my favourites is one from the 30's of a racoon clinging to a tree from someones hiking trip.
14. I also collect skulls, owls, sea glass, and gnomes. :]
15. All my fish have Sea related gaelic names. I'm not going to torcher my kids with one so I'm getting it all out of my system through my fish. Right now we have Muirgheas meaning Sea Taboo.
whew that was hard!! Cant wait for 29 more days and Halloween!

Ugh I find myself lagging on this, partly because my projects are long term and because I feel like I'm writing to myself. Well, self, here are some projects I've finished recently. My friends birthday last week and her favorite animal is a giraffe, it even has a fring-t mane :]

New favorite recipe- Caprese pasta. Here's a picture before it went in the pyrex dish. All the mozzerella melts in the oven and is sooo yummy.

Made a book wreath for a friend by request. This time with pink buttons, hope she likes it!

Now off for a week in San Diego going to Sea World and the other parks! Yay!

finished!

Finally I took pictures of all the crafts I have finished in the month without internet. We have been decorating and unpacking like mad and it's starting to feel like home. I have so many ideas, mostly from pinterest, for our apartment and can't wait to start on new things.


The day of the dead canvas I posted a while back when it was incomplete and is finally done and ready for its home on our wall.


My scrapbook pillow is coming along. I still have the task of doing the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace which are gonna be hard with the small details, and a few other pieces on there but its coming along nicely.

I finally finished my recipe box. I have had it a while but stayed unfinished wood but I painted it and decoupaged relevant photos on it for my new kitchen.

And last but not least is the rug I crocheted! I had a bunch of old sheets that my last roommates left that I moved with us to protect furniture and then thought of this to repurpose them. It was a super easy project just time consuming and hurts your hand after a while. I used 2 twin size sheets and got a rug maybe 2 feet around, its home is in the kitchen so my feet are comfy when I do the dishes :]

finally!

we have internet! Tomorrow I will update and take photos of all the crafts I have completed in internets absence. Right now I am catching up on all the tv I have been without for 2 years :] any suggestions are welcomed. Til Tomorrow!

So deprived!

The move to Los Angeles went well and we are really enjoying the city. Only downside is we cant get internet to come hook up our place until august, so over a month with no internet! We have been doing lots of puzzles and board games to stay entertained. Finished a few crafts that I will have to update once I have web in the place. :]
