Running up that hill

 

Do you think I could play Kate Bush (singer in the above pictures) or Hole on ukulele? I know those are very different genres. Idk cause I really want to bc this town is so freaking boring.

Also we have like one or two thrift stores, one at my parents church and another that’s goodwill and those prices are insane. 

Yeah I think I could play some rock songs on uke (not saying Kate Bush is rock she is clearly not).

Okay so maybe I’ll post the videos on my yt. Wouldn’t that be funny.

Currently listening to Babooshka by Kate Bush it’s entertaining.

think ill miss you forever

 like the stars miss the moon

 Summertime Sadness, Lana Del Rey

 

Hey guys,

Feeling a bit down today. So im going to talk about little things.

My plant is fixing herself slowly but surely. I accidentally bent a few leaves, but they are repairing. Im so proud of my little Clarisse! 

Next, ive started on Christmas presents. Ive started making some ear warmers.

I got watercolors and yarn yesterday because I was out of watercolors and I needed yarn for Christmas presents. Ive been doing a lot of watercolors and its very fun.

I did my makeup really nice today. I did more of a cat eye, and i think it compliments me better.

Anyways, heres some relatable stuff.

Also been listening to Lana Del Rey through this labor day long weekend. 

Anyways, see you later 

Xoxo,

Whitney 

reminder to everyone including me

Hey yall,

This is a friendly reminder to everyone (including me) that you do NOT need to buy unnecessary stuff! Most times, you can diy or thrift stuff!

For example, yesterday I winded some yarn cakes by hand because I had been wanting a yarn winder. Now I realize that I dont need it!

 also I think im going to try spinning plarn. Ill make a drop spindle and see if I can make plastic bags into yarn!

And, bike! Biking is soooo gooood. I cant stress this enough. 

I have a football game today, so I will not be able to do as much crafting as I normally do, but this weekend I will do the bike diys previously mentioned on this blog. This weekend im also going to make a drop spindle and spin plastic bag yarn.

Im also making a six day star blanket. It looks really good! Im done with the foundational rows.

Anyways, I  

 and im writing a collection of short stories, hence the writing tips.

Xoxo,

Whitney 

why not

 

This post has to do with undertones of the do it yourself (some might say punk) movement.

Ahem.

I am an avid bike rider, and i do not like to contribute to the economy unless needed.  (Edit: I typed this and now I’m looking at that and realizing that this does not make sense as I do not buy groceries. I’m literally a teenager and it is not hard to not participate, plus I buy used books. I just boycott certain brands.)

I ride my bike all around to swim and to get books from little free libraries. Its great exercise and costs next to nothing. I also go to yard sales and such.

The reason this costs next to nothing is because my bike is secondhand. It is my grandma's old bike and is actually insanely fancy and I got it for free. Thanks Nana! 

Anyways, I live in an odd bit of the south where it is freezing for a month or three and boiling the rest of the year.

Thus, I need some bike accessories to stay warm. I am going to make helmet ear warmers and hand warmers for the hand rest places. I refuse to buy these things when I literally own yarn and crochet hooks, and a plethora of knitting needles from my other grandma, because she is an avid knitter and sometimes crocheter.

Here are the patterns:

So blogger keeps deleting my stuff. Essentially, I got a new book from a little free library. It’s called Belittled Women, and it has a 3.21 on StoryGraph which isn’t great, but I need a cute romance for in between some other books I want to read. I want to read Wool (the silo series on Apple TV is based off of this), Dune, and Animal Farm. So I need a lighter book in between those.

Also, I’m almost done with my Japanese Knot Bag! The pattern is super easy. I’ll put it here:

https://pin.it/3ty9xsATl

So yes. It’s at 6 inches and needs to be at least 8 inches before I do the handles.

protest nestle

 hey yall,

Ik this is different from my usual posts, but this may become the norm on here.

Nestle, in the 1970s, marketed infant formula in an unhygienic way. The mother's in the third world countries this formula was marketed to diluted the formula with unclean water,  which they thought was safe based on the marketing. This led to hundreds of thousands of infant deaths. Read more about this controversy here.

There is a whole Wikipedia page dedicated to Nestle Controversies. These include:

•  above deliberately false marketing of infant formula
•  forced labor 
• Modern slavery
• Child labor
•  contaminated food products
• Deforestation
•  preventing access to non bottled water in countries that do not have lots of clean drinking water
•  spreading incorrect information about recycling
• Getting water from Native American sites (illegally)
• Animal welfare issues 

Essentially, please do not support this company which owns (copied from here)

I know it is impossible to boycott all of these companies. All i ask is that you try your best!!!

Xoxo,

Whitney 

come get me out of California

 I dont live in California but I do live in the south and its pretty boring here so yeah. Sorry for the random bursts of posting.

 

Also I dyed my hair yesterday the literal same color. No you cannot see it for privacy reasons just thought I'd let the web know. *Kahoot music that you get at the end of a game*

My life has been pretty boring so not much to report. I can say that football games are boring and it probably ruined my instrument due to the rain and distant lightning we were playing in. I do not know how far away the strikes have to be, but i could see it in the sky. Its chill tho.

I also crocheted a rug and a basket using yarn scraps. That was the highlight of last week.  

Um so yeah. Here are some books i want to read

 

Im in a challenge on story graph that is similar to the first one so I might do that. Also why are the new penguin classics so ugly like bro and they look so much cheaper. I want the 2000s design not the cheap 2020s design.

I also would like to collect Nancy drew but I feel like that is not my top priority with my money right now. It would appear that I am headed to thriftbooks.com rn. No this isnt an ad but i would love to be a sponsorrrrrr hint hint.

I also just re read this and realized its all over the place. Oh well.  

Note: I am so type b that I forgot to post this on the day it was made so pls think of this as being posted on the 24th 

Xoxo,

Whitney 

its a new day, but it all feels old

 

Um yeah start off with a good Charlotte reference. 

I didnt post yesterday bc i was at a birthday party. Its crazy that people in my grade are already turning 16. I mean, I even practiced parking today bc i turn 16 soon. Insane.

Anyways, here's my to do list.

Boring 

•  Ap classroom sign up + watch at least one video
•  practice

Fun

•  watch 27 dresses
• Finish loveless by alice osman  and the princess and the grilled cheese sandwhich (trust)

I need to watch barbie and read project hail Mary bc i got them from the library and they're due soon. 

And I need to finish the 2 books in the to do bc theyre due even sooner and i cant renew them any more.

12:07 

Its pretty good so far

1:31

AP classroom won’t load :(

It’s fineeeee it’s not due Monday!

Anyways, now I have to exercise and then practice clarinet. I was thinking maybe going for a walk!

3:40 

I have done everything required of me except ap classroom. But im hungry and found this hilarious meme.

 oh and I found this at the little free library! Ive read it before but do not own it!

Anyways, imma post this now. Have a lovely day!

Xoxo, whitney 

what if this is the best version?

 sorry for the depressing title. Its a quote from lady bird and all i could think of.

 

Anyways, I only have a bit of homework.

To do:

• Chem lesson
• Math hw (watch ap videos this weekend)
• I think that's it.

Want to do:

• Make pins
• Watch 27 dresses (didnt yesterday)
• Crochet 

I think i want to make that hat I was talking about.

 

 I think i could make it.

Ok I have to do Chem now.

Byeeeeee ill be back! 

9:13 

Ok that was a really easy chem lesson.

9:36

 sorry guys but I found this one really funny lol. 

Ok so I did everything required nd made pins but did not watch the movie. I will tho I swear.

(This was made in the 14, I just forgot to post it)

and in that moment, I swear we were infinite

 I watched The Perks of Being a Wallflower yesterday, hence the post title.

 Today's post doesn't really fit that title. But I will give you a little day recap. Im in study hall rn, and i just had the grade level assembly. Really not much has been going on.

Oh I forgot! My button maker comes today! But I have band practice so I cant chillax. Oh well. 

Since I have that going on, I may as well finish APUSH for this week. I only have one lesson left for the week.

Also, I changed the name of the website! You like it? Whitney's corner felt dumb, and i wanted a cool name that was kinda weird. Anyways, that's what I landed on! 

 Also, I made a headband! Ill take a pic once im home.

I also want to start showing my outfits. I cant show my face but I can show the fit!

 1:44 

MUST FINISH APUSH SO I CAN USE BUTTON MAKER WHEN IT ARRIVES 

Movie to watch: 27 dresses (which almost finishes my rom coms)  

3:45

I DID EVERYTHING REQUIRED OF ME TODAY AND THE BUTTON MAKER CAME!!!

 (posting this the next day but this was intended for August 13)

Makin banana [syrup]

 I dont have band practice today (im in homeroom right now thinking about it), so here's what I want to do this afternoon: 

 necessary stuff:

• Text apush online teacher about text book (it wont loadd)
• I dont think I will have hw but I might 

Fun stuff:

• Make banana bread syrup for coffee
• Finish 13 going on 30
• Finish perks of being a wallflower (then I will have finished all the movies ive started)
• Read a bit of Loveless by Alice oseman
•  crochet

Here is the banana bread syrup recipe:

click here (pinterest)

Also, today instead of posting several times a day, ill just keep updating this post.

 12:44

 im about to get home and i on my have math homework!

Yayayayay 

2:58

Also the post title is a reference to Jack Johnson’s banana pancakes song  which is super cool and chill. Also he literally sang on curious George so like…. Clearly this guy is cool

The song is called upside down and is very good!

Okay. All I have left is math hw! Then I can craft and watch movies! I want to make this:

I think I could make it look cute! That’s not me in the pic by the way lol. OKAY DO MATH!!!

5:09

I just biked on a stand up bike and I finished 13 going on 30! I also picked up where I left off on perks of being a wallflower last time! Ive read the book and i know what's coming and I almost started crying. The sad scene is still like 10 minutes away lol. 

Also I think ill crochet this instead:

 

So yeah. It looks a bit easier and looks like ill actually wear it lol.

 I want to leave my pin/button ideas here, for when the machine comes!

 

Um.... yeah. 28 pins.

Also that syrup is SO GOOD

xoxo, Whitney
