eShakti Product Review.....

I was thrilled when Jennifer from eShakti contacted me about doing a product review here on my blog.

Whats eShakti? Its an online store that is full of dresses,tops,bags,jewelry that are all fun and cute.
My favorite aspect of this store if you find a dress that is to short and/or is sleeveless before you order you have the option to lengthen the skirt (or shorten.) add sleeves (inset,cap,short..etc...).
       After deciding on a dress...which was very hard by the way, way to many cute outfits,I placed my order.
               
                                            
                                                    I excitedly awaited for its arrival.
The UPS man drove up the driveway honked his horn,my siblings ran out to greet him,I stayed inside thinking it was for my sister who was awaiting a package. Excitement shot through my heart as the box read 'Blythe..etc...' I armed myself with a knife to open the package,in which it did its job.
My face then brightened at glimpse of yellow......

   After trying on the dress I instantly fell in love,even though I realized that eShakti sizes must run slightly big since the dress was larger then I thought it would be (I was surprised since dressed are usually small on my weirdly proportioned body.) ,but with two safety pins the problem was almost completely solved. But it's okay I now know for in the future to get a size smaller then by size. =)

                       Some of my favorite aspects of this dress is there are so many possibilities.
                             As shown above I can even be transformed into a bumblebee...
              Okay,not totally a bumble bee,I'm missing the headband with antennas. ;)
               I would love to find myself a similar sweater in gray,I love gray and yellow together!
     

    This dress that I got also is the same color online as in person. A big plus of eShakti.
 I have always hated when I order online and the color appears different after I have received the product.

        Thank you eShakti for providing feminine, cute and free alterations to dresses that allow girls to dress modestly and pleasing to our Savior.

1 Timothy 2:9
   In like manner also,that women adorn themselves in modest apparel,with shame facedness and sobriety;not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

I'm in that mood...

This weekend I've been in the crafty/sewing mood,and I only like doing things that don't take any longer then a day.  
                          

         

So after some thought I figured I'ld make my new camera a pretty strap cover,because I was planning on doing it soon anyway.

After picking out some fabric from my fabric bin,I got started,the results actually made me happy!
 I'm rarely happy with the way things end up turning out 'when I sew them',but I actually REALLY like it.

The colors match my blog designs color scheme too. =)

Oh,and I know I need to trim off the thread....

lol,and I seem to forget to trim off the thread when I finish a project,until after Itake photos. ; )

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next was repurposing a shirt that had some.... I think...... they were blech stains on it.....huh...anywho,I saw THIS tutorial a few weeks ago and thought 'I could use that pink shirt upstairs for this',but I kinda liked this shirt and I always put on a cute sweater with it,but today I decied I was going to do it.

So I pinned where I was going to cut.

                                                                           Cut it.

Cut 3 strips using the leftover (the bottom half of the shirt.)

Ruffled them up.

sewed them on...

Added 3 yo-yo flowers....and I was finished.

It came out very cute and suits me perfectly!

I'm planning on wearing it to my violin recital thats coming up in a few weeks....

I'll have to do a whole outfit post. ;)

 Ihate throwing away scraps so Iquickly wrapped the extra around my head as a headband,but I definitely like the shrug better.

My hopefully next project is when stores start having flip-flops on sale,

I want to do either THIS or THIS with them.

 I might be doing an engagement photo session next sunday,I'm very excited!

It would be for my brother,but still exciting for me.

IF I do and when I post the photos I would very much like everyones opinon on them. =)

Have a blessed week everybody.

new look....

                         Thanks to Bree @  Aeronautical Graphics I have a whole new look.

                                                      What do you all think?
    Gray and yellow,I've been quite into lately,I don't know why,but I like to think of it as like life sometimes its the color yellow,bright,cheerful,exciting,but sometimes its gray,glum,dull,sorrowful.
                                            So some of those life relating type of colors. ;)

The last of our snow is melting today,but hopefully we'll get more soon,I'ld really LOVE to go sledding.

                 So,I haven't posted in a while,due to school,violin lessons also my siblings and I will be resuming  speech and debate this week as well.
                              

    Only a few days left to link up for the photo contest,and I only got one entry so far and I would love to recieve more. Last year I got over 20 enteries,so this is different then last year.

p.s. stay tuned for a hair post soon.....
