Behind the cuts are my latest crafts and pictures!
Pink Gingham, White Lace, and Pink Ribbon Headdress

This is my first attempt at making a headdress. On the back I lined it with white fabric (the kind I used to make my white loose socks). My hair is a mess @_@ I need a haircut ;_;
Black and White Lace Cross Headdress

This is my darker series of headdresses ^^ I had to include a black cross! XD On the back I lined it with white fabric, again.
Pink and White Lace Coffin Purse

This took me 2 days to finish (the longest time I've ever spent on a craft!).
Since I covered the cardboard in dark gray duct tape, I first covered the purse
with pink fabric, then with a more sheer lighter pink striped fabric. I found the 1 white frog latches in my mom's sewing stuff ^^ For the cover I used the cover of a Five-Star Notebook, but it came out much "fluffier" than the base. On the inside cover is a little ID pouch that closes with 2 snaps on the inside. I bought the handle and used 2 small screws (the screws included with the handle were too long) to attach. It's heaver than I thought it'd be, but it's very sturdy ^^
Pink Gingham, Lace, and White Cross Legwarmers
I really love how these turned out ^^ On the cross, I sewed on thin white ribbon. I didn't use elastic, I put in a thin white ribbon and then I tie a bow for it to stay on my legs ^^;
Pink Happy Berry Tote (with Panda as the model ^^)

I had to buy a new shower curtain for when I moved back to school, and inside (I guess to make the curtain look nice in packaging?) was the cardboard I used for this tote. First, I used a box cutter to make a handle. I covered it in duct tape, then pink fabric (what can I say, I LOVE pink ^^). I had a problem deciding how I was going to get the sides in there @_@ But I got some scraps of fabric and sewed it in there ^^ I wanted something with the Happy Berry logo, so I made one out of felt. At the bottom I put on some felt pads (bought for like $0.88!!!) so the fabric wouldn't wear out.
Happy Berry Messenger Bag

I rarely use this messenger bag because it hurts my shoulder if I carry heavy books in it, but it's such a great bag I wanted to start using it more. The bag was $20, but I just attached a Happy Berry logo made from felt (I sewed it on along with using clear tacky craft glue). ^^ Yea for personalization!
White Loose Socks with Lace and Pink Ribbon

These were the first pair of loose socks I made a few weeks ago that weren't baggy enough. I didn't want them to just sit somewhere unused, and since they were my first pair I didn't want to give them away, so I decided to add a lace fabric at the bottom, then sewed on the lace with pink ribbon in the middle I made. At the top I sewed a thick white satin ribbon and put a bow in the middle ^^.
Pink Gingham, White Cross, White Lace Lined, and Pink Ribbon Tote

I'm very proud of this~! I used pink gingham, and the inside is lined with white fabric, then a white lace. On the inside I also attached a small pocket for my cell phone and keys ^^. Attached on the small inside pocket is a white cross with white ribbon lining, same with the outside of the tote. Lining the top of the tote is ace with pink ribbon in the middle.
