Wow! Productive for a change.

  I just got through a huge stack of papers that needed to be graded.  Unfortunately, that was just two out of my five classes.  I have just as big a stack stuffed in my computer case for another two classes and a moderately sized stack for the AP class that will take just as long [...]

Excited or nervous…I can’t tell.

  I had trouble falling asleep last night.  It didn’t really feel like nerves; I just wasn’t tired.  I should have been, but I wasn’t.  Now I’m worried that I might feel the same way tonight, which is really not good because I’m meeting my friend/decorator/coordinator tomorrow morning at 4:30 to go to the flower market [...]

Slacking or much needed rest?

  I didn’t get much done today.  Both K and I felt like we just needed to relax a little.  We know we have a really big week ahead of us, then a wedding and a honeymoon, so we just kind of took today off and enjoyed each other’s company.  It was actually pretty nice.  He [...]

Yay! Done!

  I got everything on my list done. I am starting to feel like I might actually be ready for a wedding in one week. ONE WEEK! My dress only needs a bit of handwork now. The bridesmaids dresses still need a bit of work put into them, but I’m confident that those will be mostly [...]

So far, so good.

  And it’s only lunch time.  All the work left on my own dress is hand work, so this afternoon I’ll focus on the bridesmaids dresses.

Game plan.

  So, while last night was a wash as far as sewing goes, I managed to get some things done today…namely more favor embroidery. The end is almost in sight with those, so that’s fantastic news. I also managed to try on my qi-pau again and get pictures. At the same time, I realized that although [...]

I sew…

  …therefore I make progress. Okay, it wasn’t much. I just got the boning put into my wedding bodice, but it was something. My goal tonight is to get the skirts finished. Here’s the plan: 1. Attach overskirt to waistband. 2. Serge bottom edge of both layers of the underskirt. 3. Hem underskirt. 4. Work on [...]

Make up my mind

  Okay, so I’m trying to decide on what make up to wear for the wedding (focusing on eye make up, since everything else will just be pretty standard). Let me know what you think. A. Natural and simple B. Glitter and Sparkle C. Drama Queen D. Mauve Maven
