3.4.10 // I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK TO STRANGERS, NOT EVEN NUNS.


I've loved mood rings ever since seeing My Girl. Gosh, that movie's sad.. I much prefer Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCallister. What I can say is that the sequel to My Girl, My Girl 2, played a big role in developing my love for California. Maybe that's sad and weird, but it's the truth. If you've seen the movie, you know that the main character (Vada Sultenfuss) travels to California to learn about her mother, whom she's never met, for a school project. She's from "pencil-vainy-ah" (that's how she says it the movie) and has never been to the West Coast before. She learns so much about her mother on the trip and meets a cute guy... which never hurts. I have dreams of living out a Vada Sultenfuss-esque adventure once I'm in The Golden State. Until then, I'll wear my mood ring.

I made this barrette by following similar DIY instructions to the ones found on A Patchwork World. Instead of attaching a pin backing, I bought a blank barrette clip from Michaels. All you need for this DIY is an old eyeglass lens (it's easy to get old eye glasses at thrift stores like Goodwill and Salvation Army for a few bucks), a magazine or fabric cut-out (comic strips are fun to use), decoupage glue, a paintbrush, a blank barrette backing, and strong glue. This barrette took about ten minutes to make. I don't like glue in my hair (I'm sure I'm not alone here..) so I let my barrette dry overnight before wearing it. If you make an eyeglass barrette or pin, send me a picture and I'll post it!
