I have began to crochet!

One of my ideas on my bucket list for before I turn 18 is to improve my crochet skills, so I can make more things instead of buying them in my future as an adult. So, it’s been awhile, but I have started to crochet again! I learned 3 years ago, but now I’m really getting into it and I’m hooked! I love it!

You see, every time I crochet I would get annoyed very easily. Because every scarf I tried to make, this is what happened:

I’ve also been crocheting every where I go! I brought it to church yesterday and even to friendlys with me:

I worked on  it this morning, so it’s a little longer than the most recent photo, the middle one of the three consecutive ones above. Hopefully I can finish it soon and make more projects with different stitches.

Do you love crochet? Any beginner projects you would like to recommend?

If you would like to learn crochet you should download the app CrochetTube. It helps a lot! 😀

Please, like and comment! Thank you so much for reading!

With love, Lillian ❤

Finally! Blogging!

 

I have been missing you, wordpressers! I have gotten so caught up in everything this week! I have been so busy. I have been meaning to post! But I never found the time to type away….

But the good news is I have quite a few things to blog about!

I haven’t forgotten about you guys! I’ve been taking pictures and notes throughout this week with this blog in mind. I hope you enjoy what I have come up with! 🙂

But I do feel the need to warn you: I’m going away this weekend. I have a teen girl’s retreat this weekend. But I will probably post A LOT on it. This retreat that I have attended every year since 6th grade (I’m a junior now) have really impacted my life in so many ways, it really helps me to get closer to Jesus time and time again! And I’m praying really hard that it does the same for the other girls who are attending. I believe I’m with an amazing group of girls that have great potential and gifts for the Lord! I hope each of them gets closer to God this weekend and that lives are changed!

I ask you guys to please pray for this trip as well. And pray that there is a great breakthrough to all the girls (hundreds of them) coming this weekend. You’re prayers are very powerful and appreciated.

Thank you so much! I’ll be posting more don’t worry!

Happy Birthday to me!!

Today is my birthday! I turn 17 today! I’m not really that psyched for the number, I enjoyed being sixteen. But hey I get gifts! Hahaha 🙂

One gift God gave me is a day off from school! Yes, I got a snow day on my birthday! 😀 and its not even that much snow which is great for me because I hate snow. I am enjoying a day in my pjs relaxing! I’m gonna make some hot coco!! Hahaha

My friend also gave me her old Vera Bradley wristlet (and its like brand new condition) and an AE gift card!

My friend is so great 🙂 I told everyone that I really only want food haha cause I really do just want food. But I’m really stoked about the card and the wristlet. I hope to blog later about my fashion ideas and what I buy. ( I LOVE shopping… responsibly)

Tomorrow I get my new phone finally. ( My old phone broke when it fell of the window sill awhile ago) My mom insisted on buying me my dream phone, the HTC One X. I feel a little guilty getting such expensive things. My mom does it all the time. Sometimes I just want to right out refuse the gifts! But I always do my best to pay her back, like working around the house. The phone will be pretty cheap though and she gets a discount through her work plus she’s getting a plan with me. I am excited for the phone as well, my friend has it and she adores it.

I am also having a bad day for my health. I kept eyeing the cupcakes on my table and now I guess it’s officially a fat day… I am so going to work it off when I go to the gym.

Thankfully, the snow didn’t stop my boyfriend from coming over to celebrate. You see, we got a tradition. A year ago, he wanted to be mine, and I told him a man has to earn me. (That was January) so he came over for my birthday and took we on a romantic strool. He was there the exact minute I turned 16. (Btw I said yes to him 3 months later… he REALLY earned me) we decided to do that this year too. It was raining and snowing and it was very very cold! My mom thought we were crazy, but we did it anyways and I loved it 🙂

His gift was perfect as well. He bought me a wood box and stained it himself. Its really perfect.

I’m gonna fill it with all the stuff he gives me. I’m also gonna put pictures in the top of it. His gift from last year was even more perfect:

You see, its perfect because he calls me Angel. And he always told me even if he doesn’t get to date me I still have his heart.

I thank God so so sooo much for an amazing birthday!

One Day: I Miss February Break

I’m not a morning person. I tried and failed for maybe the hundredth time to wake up at 5:30 this morning and was awoken by my brother at 6:30 instead. This morning, like all school-day mornings, was rushed and stressful.

I was almost late for school because the bathroom was taken. Unlike most homes with a teenaged girl, it’s the father that takes hours in the bathroom and the daughter takes 10 minutes. My father went into the bathroom and I reminded him that I had to be to the school in 15 minutes. He must have forgotten this fact from Point A to Point B, because he proceeded to take a shower. Being half-awake, it took him 10 minutes. When the door finally opened, I dashed in the bathroom and started up the straightener.

“Five minutes Dad.” I said, and he responded with an annoying gasp.

I made excellent timing really. Did all my duties and straightened my hair (I don’t commonly wear make up) in 4 minutes. My bag was ready in the kitchen, along with my coat. I had to return to the bathroom to put in my contacts, and my dad got my moccasins for me, which, reasons I was unaware of, were in the basement. I found the reason when my toes slipped into the slipper like shoes.

“Why are my shoes sticky?!”

“Uhhh…. your sister spilled root beer on them.”

URG! So my sister, who’s eleven by the way (eleven!!), spilt soda on my shoes, (Why she had soda I don’t know) so I had to switch to my (fake and uncomfortable) converse shoes.

But once I got to school, I couldn’t complain, I had a decent day. Don’t get me wrong, it was awful, long and strenuous, but it was okay.

I did have one incident, but I dealt with it easily and calmly. The sophomore class is holding a talent show and put the wrong dates on the papers. I have a dress rehearsal Thursday and no track yet. So I filled out the papers and handed them in, and I have a download I just have to talk to my mother about before I buy. I decided to sing Mirror by Barlow Girl, a song close to my heart.  Now I am excited! I just have to rehearse A LOT.

After school I went to the gym with my brother and my cousin. We were very confused and awkward seeing we are still not familiar with all the machines. However, it was a lot of fun! I am working towards being healthy 🙂 I’m not shooting for a number or a size; I’m working to be healthy and treat the Holy Spirit’s Temple well. And of course there’s a lot of side effects I don’t want that comes with an unhealthy life style. 🙂 I feel great already!

Well, that’s all I have for today. How was your day?

God bless you all! ❤ ~Lillian

Sunday Afternoon: Homework -_-

Ah yes, the familiar oh-shoot-I-have-homework feeling kicked in an hour ago. (No I’m not done. Yes, I’m procrastinating) Today is my last day off (February vacation). I am grieving school tomorrow. And even though its only one assignment, its a long one. It’s vocab of an entire chapter in my AP European history (yes, I’m a AP student who procrastinates! They arnt that uncommon believe it or not). I have about 20 words to go, and its a strenuous progress. My brain is pretty much fried.

Well, I have a half an hour before I need to go- so I better get back to work! Ugh…
