30 day book challenge day 10 and 11

Hi friends! I am so sorry for lack of post yesterday. I was feeling so under the weather and not much better today but I plan on following through with this challenge so yesterday and today will be one post with 2 separate sections! OK HERE WE GO!!!

Day 10 Book that reminds you of Home.

For me that is James and the Giant Peach. This book is so wonderful and my mama loves the story. I remember when I was 9 we moved into a new house that was actually really old and the first week we were there we had no TV. We relied on movies and we frequented JATGP. To this day my mama will sing the songs or quote the movie. Whenever I miss home I read this book!

*** Check out what I made inspired by this story***

Day 11 a book you hated... ok there are so many but I will choose 1!

OMG I hated this book. I think the concept was okay... I guess but using the idea of "Survival of the fittest" with children on an island it so awful. And... also they killed piggy, my favorite character in the entire story gets his head smashed in with a rock! Really William Golding... come on!

See you tomorrow for day 12 readers!

Harry Potter Pillowcase

Hi everyone. Today I am anxiously awaiting to sign up for my summer and fall semester, and what I hope is my last few semesters at community college!!!! Then onto my Bachelors in English! I swear I am going to be in school for the rest of my life :) Anyway, This year has been quite the crazy one. My family lost a couple of important people, and I am still adjusting to living in a new town, that has less to do than where I grew up... My best friend Sharon was having an equally hard month and to show her that even though I was a couple hours away I was always by her side, I made her this.....

This took me a grand total of about 6 hours to finish this. I literally took no breaks, and I wouldnt let myself sleep until it was done but it came out awesome! I take Commission for pieces so if you want something or know someone who does, please reach out!

Edgar Allen Poe Pillowcase set

Hello again friends! I wanted to share the Pillowcase set I am most proud of. First off let me explain why I made these...
One of my most treasured friends, Jasmine and I have birthdays that are two days apart. She is very crafty and she loves handmade gifts more than most people I know (minus my best friends). I have also never met any one who is as in love with Poe than she is. So naturally when I found this pattern via www.urbanthreads.com I had to make it for her. The cameo is what i found online, the lettering on the second is my own design.
