sailing away for the day...a diaper cake, Deezy's way!

 First, you're gonna need a crap load of diappers, I used size 2 and over a hundred of those bad boyss. I used pampers. But whatever mom wants is finne. Luckily My friend Ash was a new mom so it was whatever I fancied. Basically you just role em and rubber band em'. Then in a series of links you make them into layers, here to the right is the top ----->


Note the pirate duckie :) And these great anchor socks! The Top layer I covered with Navy blue polka dotted fabric and pinned it underneath; I did just simple pleats.
                                                                                       

 The second layer, which you can see here to the left is covered in a red sheer fabric then covered in net; yes net! actual net! you would use in a boat. I thought it was a great touch that couldn't be passed up. It also added a little more boyish charm to the whole thing. Again i just pinned and pleated.

The picture on the left is the finished product minus the "L" that I made from a wooden letter and covered in the bottom layer's fabric. I took a piece of rope and cut a piece and tied a rustic bow. A bow may seem girlie but it being a rustic material and very simple take it more to an acceptable boy chic. Plus the blue whale, all of the navy accents, and the pirate ducky clearly points to boy. Also the clean lines on the small binky [pacifier] box on the right side of the cake is more male.

In no way are diaper cakes a cheap way to go. Infact, I spent more than anyone else did. But I felt accomplished and so proud. And she adored it. Everyone was so jelly! I probably spent somewhere in the ball park of $100 bucks. The fabric was the worst area of all. But that was also lack of planning. I live in a small town and walmart was my ONLY choice. So, if you live in a better stocked area you'll probably fare much better.

things you'll need:

Diapers!!!!
Fabric [if you're doing it like this]
Dowel rods [ to go in the middle to secure the cake]
pins [again, only if you use the fabric]
rubber bands [lots of them!]
cutesy decorations {*note* try setting a dollar limit, dont spend over five bucks on each decor item, i did, that way i didn't over spend in that area!}
Ribbon [if you want!]

only one more week 21. :/ it went so fast.

This was me on my 21st birthday. I didn't go out and get trashed or anything like that. Just had a nice day and spent way too much money. This year has gone by so fast and so much has happened. The best has been getting my new job and reconnecting with my twinny. :) I'm not sure now how I ever went a day without her? All I know is, we were meant to be in each others lives.

The worst would definitely be my Pops dying and dealing with my mental health. It's been such a struggle. Everyday. But i've made it. And hopefully this next year will bring more changes that show me that i'm making progress. I did also get a new job. An awesome job, which I am so thankful for. I am appreciated and valued. TYJ!

As far as romatic relationships are concerned. I've decided 22 is about following my heart and being true to myself. I'm gonna romance myself. That may sound a tad bit odd-but I promise it's not. I'm gonna learn to love myself. I'm gonna start taking care of my mind, body, and soul the way I haven't been for so long. It's time to focus inward and let that radiate outward. Time for fun and for growth. And to prosper. I'm no longer worried about men. When God is ready for me to have that then he will send it to me. ;) and if he looks like Chris Helmsworth ...i wouldn't hate it! kk! holla! hahaha.


Anyway. Here's to a new day!


Love. Deezy.

People.

So i've been trying my damndest to learn to treat people the way God would. To treat every person as if it their own ignorance was not their fault. But sometimes it all just leaves me to wonder...does God look down at this world and say...maybe today should be the day I set this ant farm on fire!? I mean look at the things people say, do, teach, preach...it's all just a bit much.

On a daily basis I hear people bitch and moan about having to wait fifteen minutes to have their blood drawn or to drop off a urine specimen. Don't you realize how wonderfully easy you have it?! There are millions of people dying every day who would love the chance to wait fifteen minutes in an air conditioned room, with a flat screen tv, with books, and indoor bathrooms, with running water, and a fully stocked cafeteria, where once their name was called they would get the best health care that was offered within a 100 mile radius of their home.

I just wonder how you can complain about such small things when people have such horrible things going on in their lives. My grandfather battled cancer for almost three years and in that time watched his wife of over sixty years fade away of dementia and not once did I hear him complain of anything. He was always worried for his wife and her ailments. Never his. That is how God meant for us to live. 

Something to throw around.

so long lover boy.

Today I made the final decision with the guy i've been talking to. While I do think he's a great guy, I just don't think I want a relationship right now. I'm finally getting somewhere in my life...I am officially in school again. Paid in full and ishhh. I have a great job that i'm moving forward in. I'm scrambling to move forward with my mental health..and i think even though i have my doubts, i am getting somewhere. And eventually an awesome guy will come along and we will both be in the right place at the right time...both ready to tackle life together.

But for now I think I need to tackle life on my own. Learn to own it like a boss. The way I know I can. I'm going to start making things to sell. I am. By the first of the year I will have progress with that! It will happen! :) I can't wait to see what God has in store for me, what I can do for myself. Endless possibilities...

Endless memories to be made.
