Years after the king gave the four brothers his kingdom and split it into quarters war started to rage on. Each brother turning on each other for more power. The oldest brother, James, was ruler of a kingdom of thieves. He was able to steal anything in the kingdom and no one knew he did The second oldest, Lucas, was the king of the astronomers and was said to have the power to see all. People in the kingdom say he got the power to do so from the stars. The third oldest brother, Cedric, was an…

Evaluation: Extended First Design: From a personal, and logical perspective, my first design (the old T.V with the testing screen), is the best selection for my storage container. It fits the design brief criteria well. One of the reasons I have chosen this design is that it possesses unique qualities. It is very unlikely that any of my peers would have created a design like mine. This gives the storage container more potential to “stand out” when it is finished, as it will differ from the…

Make a Quilted Throw Pillow for Your Valentine I’ve been having fun with the Valentine theme this month, as I suppose you are already aware if you’ve been following the projects available on the blog! I adore red and pink, cupids and hearts, chocolate candies and pretty, heart-shaped sprinkles. I also love quilting! I thought a quilted throw pillow would be another wonderful idea for Valentine’s Day. You can make one as a gift for your sweetie, or just keep it and enjoy it for yourself. This…

Ending The machine was whirring quietly as Victor worked shakily. The machine was quite large, looming taller than Victor himself. It was beside a table that laid the soon to be bride of the creature, draped under a cloth. A cascading of flips and switches were being made by Victor as he worked fearfully and restlessly. A flash of lightning lit up the sky through the window followed by a thundering boom. Tonight would be the night the creature would get his wish. When he had set up the machine,…

Why Do Bamboo Sheets Get Softer Over Time? Bamboo bed sheets are incredibly soft from the moment you open the package. Yet, what really sets them apart from other sheets is that bamboo becomes softer over time. Can you imagine that– your sheets actually getting softer the longer you have them? So, how does bamboo accomplish this amazing feat? To answer that question, we actually need to start by looking at how sheets are made. In particular, you need to understand how the manufacturing process…

fabric glued densely together to support the dancer’s entire body weight, and the shank; the bottom of the shoe that has a hard material used to support the foot. Learning how to sew and break-in pointe shoes are done by finding the right shoes, sewing the ribbons, and breaking-in the shoe.…

“Why did you cut your hair? I liked it better when it was longer,” is possibly the most irritating thing to hear. I used to genuinely worry that I did not have the “right face shape” for a shorter style. Months passed before I finally realized that my doubts were absurd. Short hair was the standard for men and no one cared if they had the “right face shape.” Now there was nothing holding me back from a pixie cut…except my mother. The first time I asked, it had ended in an argument. I mentioned…

My hair was just hair, until I cut it off. My first haircut took place when I was five years old. My hairdresser came to my house, measured my ponytail, and my mom made the initial cut. That was it, my first haircut, twelve whole inches. Like I said, I was five then, and I only had an idea of what would actually be done to all hair that had just been taken and mailed away. Being seventeen now, I recognize the magnitude how of this simple luxury continues to have meaning to someone I have never…

Others may think quilts are not very fascinating, to them they are nothing more than large pieces of woven material. But it is the memories stitched into each section that gives this particular winter item the ability to fill your body with tenderness and warmth. When I look on the days where I didn’t have a remedying friend, or family member I found myself always having a quilt. But not just any quilt, I had Blanky. I that had trouble before the quilt came into our presence. The Slaughter Clan…
