On a trip to the craft store to get a few supplies I got distracted when I saw that simplicity patterns were on sale for $. 99  a piece.  I obviously couldn't pass that up so I choose some patterns and then some fabric to go with one of them and this was the result.

I decided to redo my youtube channel but this one is based around my art and designs.  I also created a merchandise store that will feature my designs on different products like clothes and mugs so you should definitely check it out ( https://vintagemodernmiss.threadless.com/designs/pride-and-peonies)

These are edited versions of some of my senior pictures.  If you would like I can make a post on my favorite editing apps and the way I edit different types of pictures.  Comment below if you would like to see that post!

     This year I am taking the highest sewing/fashion class offered at my school by doing so we have to take part in a Star event for FCCLA a club for family and consumer sciences.  There are many different categories of events to choose from but the one that I chose was Fashion Design so that I could get a feel of what it is like to create your own designs and create it.  The event also requires you to create a label and price out the costs of making the design based on the demographics that you chose to market you brand towards.  This helps us to get a better understanding of the business side of being a fashion designer. 
     I decided that since I have to do so much for it, it would be fun to document my progress so this is the first installment of progress.

     It's like I jumped off the face of the earth or something!  My posts have been way spread out and have almost no written content, so I guess today I will catch you guys up and give all my excuses.
     Senioritis is very serious and can be extremely deadly (to your GPA) and I caught it the very first week of school.  So now, by the fifth week it is raging within me.  No, but seriously, I have no motivation for school, I feel like there is no point because I'm not really learning anything I feel like, yet I am getting more homework than I have had in any other school year.  This lack of motivation has begun to spread to everything from this blog to teaching piano to writing anything really.  Those are not good excuses but it's part of the truth as to why I haven't posted anything in a while. 
     Another problem I have is that I am seriously worried about the future because I know I want to go to college I just don't know what I want to major in or I have too many things I want to major in.  I also don't have a job currently so I am worried about how I am going to pay for anything later but because of what I have stated above, I don't think getting a job is the best thing right now.  I do however get those odd jobs babysitting and I normally teach my siblings piano and get paid a little for that (which I need to start doing again now that I have more time) so I get some money from that.  Anyways the fact that I am literally stressing over everything is another part of the reason I haven't been consistent.
     As I mentioned early I haven't had very much time for anything due to several doctors appointments and errands following those appointments.  I've kept silent about the struggles my body has been having mostly because they began when I was little and no doctor has been able to figure out what has been happening (I now know that it was because they have only been focusing on each individual problem) and would ride it off as completely in my head or would simply say try this or that medicine and see what happens if not there is nothing I can do.  It wasn't until a few months ago that, by complete chance, I found a doctor that had an idea about what was going on but that would need to do some tests to know for sure.  Taking those tests was why I had so many doctors appointments and then the errands afterwards were for different treatments I had to get to help control the form of Dysautonomia that I have called POTS.  It is not a very well known disorder, I guess, but is more common than most people think.  I am going to leave it at that for now because I plan on doing a whole post explaining what exactly it is and what happens when you have it, so for now if you want to know more just Google POTS Dysautonomia.
     Anyways that is all my excuses for now and I really do have several posts planned and the pictures taken and all ready to be put up I just haven't done it so I apologize and I hope to talk to you again soon!
