Take Me Home

The new One Direction CD, Take Me Home, came out on Tuesday!!!  I chose to buy the one that has the extra songs on it and only the phone booth is colored.  The red phone booth does add emphasis but, I wish they had left it all colored because the boys are black and white.  It is a really good CD, all of the songs are "amazayn".  I can't decide on a favorite.

There are 18 songs on the CD.  Two of these are songs from the previous CD.  They range from being sweet and tender like Little Things to wild and hyper like Live While Were Young.  I am really happy that Niall and Louis have more solos on this CD.  I also like that they helped write more of the songs.

They have a good balance of slow songs to fast songs and did a really good job of spreading them through out the CD.  I think the best fast songs are Heart Attack, Rock Me, and I Would because they have really nice beats and are fun to sing along to.  The best slow songs are Last First Kiss, Little Things, Summer Love, They Don't Know About Us, and Irresistible because they are really sweet and appeal to the female audience. 

I would recommend this album to everyone. 

Clyde the dragon!

This weekend I was looking up crocheted animals on pinterest and I found this cute little dragon!  He is so cute!  I named him Clyde and he is just a baby dragon so he does not breath fire.  Clyde also has a little brother who is blue and very cute.  He has not been named yet.  I think am going to make lots more of these little guys! 

                  This pattern was pretty easy.  The things that were the hardest was the starting of the head and connecting the feet, otherwise it was splendid.   You can find the pattern here.    I added some of my own touches to him.  I used a bigger hook for Clyde so he is bigger, I also used polar fleece instead of felt.  So for his ears I had to put two pieces of fleece together with two tooth picks in between so they will stand up and I also made them more of a triangle.  I put his tummy on upside down and smaller from the one in the pattern.  His horns are not a cone shape like the originals.  They also used embroidery floss I just used yarn for his mouth and fang and the lines on his tummy are not floss ether.  The arms I put half way down the body instead of right by the head.
When you put the tail on you should put it a little higher up then mine is because he will stand but not that well and falls easily.

State Fair!!!!! :D

On Monday my family and I went to the state fair! 

We went to the state fair because I had a 4-H needle arts project on display.  I made two crochet coffee cups and three doughnuts. We woke up at five in the morning and left at about six got there at like 8:30.  I got a blue ribbon on my project!  I really liked the judge I had this year.  Some times you will get a judge that doesn't say much or is kinda mean but, I had a very nice one :)   

When we were waiting for my judging time we went to the Education building.  While walking around we got to this booth that had a Justin Bieber cut-out at it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(I don't know why they would put a different shirt on him when the one he was wearing was perfectly fine)  I freaked out and kinda yelled Justin Bieber and ran to get my mom so she could take my picture by him :)

 

 

After my judging we were hungry so we went and got some thing to eat.  We always get this tornado potato thing that is a couple potatoes cut up in one long strip and then fried.  I always get a cinnamon roll.  The cinnamon rolls they make them all day long so they are fresh and they are SO good!!!  We also had milk and cookies!  I also had a Falafle.  I was going to get one last year but forgot so I had to wait a whole year to get one and it wasn't that great :(  It is not the kind of spices and stuff we normally eat.  I was disappointed. 

   

When we were looking at the stalls in the grand stand I saw a One Direction purse and I was trying to get my dad to buy it for me but he wouldn't :'(   

 

One of my good friends just entered a convent :'( and for her graduation gift I gave her a stuffed cat.  So when she left she gave me the cat to take care of.  So I then took the cat (who's name is Clover) to the state fair so I could send pictures of her to my friend.  Here are the pictures I sent.    We then left the fair at about 4:30, which is when rush hour starts, so we went geocaching instead of sitting in traffic!  We got home at like 9:00.  It was a long day and we were gone about 15 hours :P but, it was super fun and I can't wait till next year!!!  

 

 

  

Kool-aid Dyed Hair

This is my new hair!!!!    My mom will not let me dye my hair because of all the harsh chemicals :(    So while I was on Pinterest I found how to dye my hair with Kool-aid!

What you need.
  
        1 cup of water

        packs of Kool-aid ( How many packets you use depends on how dark your hair is)

        towel so it does not get on you shirt

First heat your water until it is boiling.  Then pour out Kool-aid packets into the water and stir till dissolved.  Then dip your hair in the mixture (find a comfortable position before you start) Have your hair in there for at least 10 minuets.  

When I did my hair I dipped it twice.  The first time my hair was in the stuff for 20 minuets and the second time for 10 minuets.

The after picture is one week from when I dyed my hair and it is still just as dark as it was when I dyed it.
