Lights, Portal - Guitar Practice

I have been getting back into learning guitar, since my trip to Texas. This week I have been trying to play with strumming patterns, which is a lot harder than it seems (at least for me). The best way to describe singing and changing your strumming pattern, is like patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time haha.

This video is a Lights songs, from the album Little Machines, and it's one of my favorites! Maybe after tons of practice I'll get better but I don't think I did too bad. I learned these chords super fast in just a few minutes ( simply just G and Em chords) but trying to sing "well" and playing is still something I am not so great at :/

Check it out!

Rugrats Handmade Button Up Shirt

I made this shirt from a pattern I designed, and used an old Rugrats bed sheet I thrifted at Savers. After making the shirt I realized how cool it is that, this fabric (bed sheet) won't be made ever again. I used to love watching this show when I was little, so I am super excited I get to wear a shirt that reminds me of happy days when I was young. The colors are also super cool and bright.

I am thinking about making another top, a skirt, or even maybe some small wrist wallets with the left over fabric. I know there are a ton of 90's kids out there like me that would be psyched to rock some Rugrats apparel!
