5/28/2024 0 Comments Week 12We have finally come to the end of the Genius Hour Project. We have completed the bodysuit and are still working on the presentation part of the project. Ashley and I have both really enjoyed this project and we think it has helped us both get to know each other better and grow closer as friends. Unfortunately we ended up running out of supplies that we needed so we weren't able to get the back side of the bodysuit completed. But, we completed the entire front side and we both think it looks pretty good for just hot glue and rhinestones. This project was so much fun to attempt and I am glad I did it with one of my closest friends. We would both definitely do something like this again because it was something different for both of us and it was so much fun trying something new together!

5/28/2024 0 Comments week 11Wow, we officially have 1 week left of Genius Hour. We are so close to completing this bodysuit and now we have to focus more on our presentation slideshow for final presentations at the end of the semester. One thing we forgot to talk about on week 10 was Taylor Swift's new album, The Tortured Poets Department. I was initially shocked by how lyrically good this album was and I loved all of it but Ashley had a different perspective of it, she doesn't love it as much but there are a few songs she really enjoys. My favorite song off the album is Guilty as Sin? and Ashley's is So Long London. We are both very curious to see where this album will go and if Taylor will add it to her Era's Tour setlist. I really hope she will so that when I go see her show again in October I will get to experience the new album in person. This week when we work on the bodysuit at my house we will listen to the album on repeat!
5/28/2024 0 Comments week 10We now have 2 weeks left of the Genius Hour project. Time has really gone by fast and we are a little behind on the project. These next 2 weeks we are going to meet up everyday and make sure we finish the bodysuit so we are prepared for when it is time for presentations. So that is exactly what we did all week, everyday Ashley came to my house and we worked on the bodysuit bit by bit. Mr. Barker gave us an idea to film a time lapse of our progress each day so we tried it out. When we looked back over these videos it really showed how much we get distracted while working on the bodysuit together.
5/28/2024 0 Comments week 9This week Addi brought the bodysuit to school on Wednesday so we could get some done at school during Genius Hour time in class and also so we could update and show Mr. Barker our progress with the bodysuit. Ashley also came over to my house after school on Wednesday to work on the project some more. That weekend Ashley and her family went on a little trip to the beach so I worked on the bodysuit by herself that weekend and got a good amount done. While Ashley was out of town and I had to do some of the bodysuit on my own I had my younger sister help out because she wanted to do some with me.
5/28/2024 0 Comments week 8This week Addi had her last volleyball tournament for the season so she will have more free time during the week and weekends to meet up with Ashley to work on the project together. This was a good thing for our project because now we have much more time to work and get lots more of the project done. So far our bodysuit is looking pretty good in our opinions, it obviously isn't identical to Taylor's because we couldn't find the exact materials for the bodysuit and some of the colors might not match completely but for a genius hour project we think it looks decently good.
5/28/2024 0 Comments week 7This week we haven't really done anything different than every other week. Ashley came over to my house almost every day unless either one of us was busy or had other plans already made. One thing both of us have realized when we meet up to work on the bodysuit is that we tend to get very distracted. Some things we get distracted by are our phones, tv shows, or just talking to each other. It is difficult to stay on task with a project like this because it takes such a long time to complete and requires patience and time. Overall we got a decent amount of the bodysuit complete for this week.
4/17/2024 0 Comments Week 6This weekend Addi was in Atlanta Georgia for a volleyball tournament and we weren't able to meet up and work on the project that weekend or Monday. We were both pretty busy over spring break as well. Over spring break Addi worked on getting us caught up on some of our blog posts and updating our website so we don't fall to far behind. While Addi was in Altanta she went to the Balloon Museum and her volleyball team had placed 2nd in the gold bracket of the tournament. The Sunday before school we met up to get some more work done to our bodysuit.
This week Ashley and I worked together on Tuesday and Sunday. After school on Tuesday we went to Sheetz and got food and brought it back to Addi's house to eat. Then we watched the Eras tour movie while we worked on the body suit. It takes so much time to just get a small portion of the outfit done, and it looks like we've barley done any work at all. On Sunday we continued to work on it some more and watch the movie too. After we were done working I had my friends pick me up from Addi's house and we went to my house and watched basketball for March Madness.
4/10/2024 0 Comments week 4On Sunday I went over to Addis house and we started working on the website and getting it published. After school on Tuesday, we went to Starbucks and got 2 strawberry acai refreshers. then, we went to Michael's to start looking for rhinestones for the bodysuit but we didn't find any. so then we went to Hobby Lobby instead and we found a big pack of rainbow-colored rhinestones. then we went to Target for the body suit. The next day we went home together after school and started working on gluing some rhinestones onto the bodysuit. we worked on the top section of the bodysuit which took about a little over an hour to complete. after that Ashley stayed to eat dinner and then she went back to her house and that was all we did for the day.
All we did today was look at supplies online and figure out where we are going to go shop for materials, and then we just created the website. We are going to be splitting the price of materials between us both. It is going to be difficult for Ashley and I to find time to get together and create the bodysuit. We both have busy schedules, I have volleyball every Monday and Wednesday and tournaments on most weekends so it is difficult trying to work around that.
