40.My to make lists: a collection of things I really want to make

Louise carmen notebook 
- I have been seeing people create these Louise Carmen notebook sleeves. Considering they cost 200 dollars and a trip to France, I understand why as they are so cute and customizable. I wanted to make one for my friend and myself but after shopping around leather costs, I might wait to got to Nigeria as there is more affordable, high-quality leather.



beaded jewelry 
-following the bankruptcy and liquidation of Joanns fabric, I acquired some beads but this adds to my ever growing list of jewelry to be made. I just haven't gotten around to it but I know they will be cute. I feel likes summer is the perfect time to take up beading.After all, WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE WEARING LESS, ACCESORIZE MORE! I want to add to my accessory collection with beaded jewelry.


Skull caps
- with the same theme of jewelry, I want to add color and texture to my wardrobe and these crochet skull caps are IT! I don't have a pattern yet but I have the creators YouTube video saved and will watch it to see what my next options are. I have a pattern for a basic skull cap but not these colorful ornate ones



tie shirt
- This is a sewing pattern I've been wanting to make as I love the concept of the tie shirt. That's really all. Just need to get some fabric

3. The Weekly: Pt 1

  Hello, and welcome to The Weekly, my weekly rundown of the media I'm consuming, things that inspire me, and my current fixations. 1. Song Of The Week: Silver Springs  You know when you listen to a song several times and you like it well enough- but then suddenly you just get it. Something about Fleetwood Mac's Rumors album always calls to me in the dead of winter. As I dusted off the album for my yearly reboot, I listened to Silver Springs. And then... I finally got it. Something about Stevie Nicks' soulful belt made the icy weather somewhat more bearable. 2. Current Fixation: Helene Moo Sweater's  There are very few things that make me envious, however, there is no greater jealousy I feel than seeing someone huddled up in a cozy knit sweater on a cold winter's day . And when it comes to knit sweaters, the Scandinavian are still yet to be beat. This fact is particularly true for Helene moo- a Norwegian travel influencer who brightens up the cold weather with her c...

44. my favorite creativity tools

Adobe Creative Cloud As a graphic design student, Adobe Creative Cloud is pretty much the holy grail. I honestly can’t imagine my workflow without it. My go-to apps are  Illustrator  (for vector work and logos),  Photoshop  (for image editing and all things visual), and  InDesign  (especially useful for layout design and anything print-related). I also love playing around with  Adobe Fonts —it’s such a great way to discover new typography styles and elevate whatever I'm working on. Canva Don’t sleep on Canva— especially Canva Pro . It’s super intuitive and perfect for quick projects, social media graphics, or presentations when I don’t feel like opening up a more complex program. I love that they have templates that are easy to tweak and make my own. Plus, the font and element libraries are pretty stacked. HP Sprocket or Canon Ivy These mini portable printers are SO fun. I use them to print quick photos from my phone and stick them into my journals or ...
