Day Adventures

Thursday, December 6, 2012

 
 
Finally made plans to go to Mt. Bonnell--the highest point in Austin, TX. I have been planning on going there ever since I came to Austin but never went through with any plans. Last Saturday morning, I finally went and loved it. It was December 1st and 80 degrees. I didn't expect anything less from Texas weather. My mentor group and I went exploring around and down little trails, it was so beautiful. I decided to experiment a little with the manual settings on my camera and photographing the scenery since I have not been behind a camera in awhile.


























           We also went to a hidden place called Castle Hill. There is graffiti everywhere. Every time you look at the graffiti, you find something you have not seen before. Real life I Spy. It's on Baylor Street and pretty hard to miss. There is actually a castle at the top of the hill, above the graffiti.


Austin's Nature and Science Center is pictured above. Lovely weather and an even better sight.

Here are a few more pictures from Mt. Bonnell. Enjoy!


 
 

Game Day

Thursday, November 22, 2012

         In celebration of today's game against TCU, and finding the time to make a blog post, I'm finally posting the game day dress I made. I knew I wanted to make one when I found out how easy it was to make, but did not actually make it until the night before I left for UT. There are so many different kinds you can make that just require minimal sewing and creativity.

I used a big shirt, black fabric, and elastic. Pretty simple once you start it. I bought a belt from Charming Charlie's and that's it! All you need is a shirt and fabric and you are good to go. Can't wait to make more for the years to come. Have a great Thanksgiving and Hook'em! 
 
And here's some Instagrammed pictures of the Tower. Enjoy!
