Imagine deciding to crochet your own prom dress from scratch with just four days to go before the event. It sounds impossible, doesn’t it? Not for 18-year-old Sarah Akinbuwa of Boston, though, who made this challenge a viral hit!
Sarah chose to rely on her amazing crochet abilities despite having only four days to prepare for her prom. What was the outcome? a gorgeous floor-length, pink, strapless gown that was modeled after Zendaya’s famous Valentino Haute Couture outfit from the 2023 SAG Awards.
Sarah reflected on her choice and said to PEOPLE, “I had to make a dress by hand.”
Sarah not only finished the gorgeous dress in three days, but she also crocheted a handbag and floor-length shrug to match. What talent and commitment!

Sarah’s outfit was inspired by Zendaya’s SAG Awards gown, which had 190 roses on the skirt. Even though Sarah’s version was finished much faster, it is still quite intricate and beautiful.

Across the globe, homeowners embarking on the journey of home improvement often stumble upon unexpected treasures and mysteries hidden within their walls and floors. Here are some astonishing stories that highlight the surprises that can be unearthed during the renovation process.
1. Superman’s First Appearance in Minnesota:
A young couple, David and Indiana Gonzalez from Minnesota, took a gamble by purchasing a dilapidated house in Elbow Lake for ten thousand dollars. Amidst the dust and debris of the remodeling process, they stumbled upon a 1938 comic book, featuring the first appearance of Superman. Recognizing its potential value, the couple auctioned the comic for an astounding $100,750.
2. Buzzing Floorboards Reveal Bee Haven in Louisiana:
In Louisiana, a woman endured mysterious noises emanating from beneath her floorboards. Seeking professional help, an expert, Jeff Horkhoff, discovered not just one but thousands of bees living under the floor. Though initially alarming, these bees proved harmless when handled properly. The discovery highlighted the unique and communal nature of these buzzing creatures.
3. Unidentified Creatures in New Zealand:
Tim Clark from New Zealand rushed to his mother’s aid when she discovered strange bugs in her kitchen. Perplexed by the unidentified creatures, Tim shаrеd pictures and videos on social media, seeking help. Scientists at the University of Auckland could not definitively identify the creatures, leaving the mystery of these strange bugs unsolved.
4. Hidden Safe Yields Cash and Vintage Whiskey:
A couple renovating their kitchen floor uncovered a hidden safe with a mechanical combination lock. Having found a note with the combination just two months earlier, they managed to crack it open. Inside, they discovered eight stacks of one hundred dollar bills, amounting to $51,000, and a vintage whiskey bottle from 1960.
5. Ancient Roman Villa Beneath London Barn:
Luke Irwin, a carpet designer in London, intended to convert his barn into a table tennis space. During the renovation, workers unearthed an intricate mosaic floor. Reporting the discovery to the city council, archaeologists later determined that the house was built on the site of an ancient Roman villa dating back to 220 A.D.
6. Bee-infested Walls in Pinos Puente:
A couple in Pinos Puente noticed mysterious humming sounds in their home, which they eventually traced back to bees entering a hole in the wall. Beekeeper Sergio Guerrero confirmed the presence of over 80,000 bees within the walls. Guerrero spent numerous hours carefully extracting and relocating the swarm, emphasizing the unique cohabitation of insects and humans.
These tales serve as a reminder that the process of home improvement can unveil not only the history of the structure but also unexpected treasures and the fascinating world of creatures that shаrе our living spaces.
