Just make it stop!

  This wedding may actually cure me of all desire to embroider for the rest of my life.  I sat down to work on the favor embroidery last night.  It is taking sooooo much longer than I thought it would.  It’s a simple design, but I suppose even simple designs take time and need constant attention.  [...]

Sewing progress and how the rest of my weekend went…

  Friday I was up early again to sew.  Of course, I was planning on sleeping in, but mom woke me up so that I could work on my dress before K came over in the afternoon.  We did a fitting of my bodice mock up and got the needed changes made to the pattern.  (I [...]

Deviant.

  Well, only slightly deviant.  I rushed home from work yesterday afternoon, cut out my bodice mock up, and stitched all the major seams.  Exactly an hour later, I was rushing out the door to meet K at the movie theater to see Casino Royale.  (My favorite Bond movie out of the few that I’ve seen, [...]

Inheritance

  Mom and Dad went down to AZ this weekend to spend some time with family before the holiday.  (Last year we went for Thanksgiving, but the traffic was so terrible, they decided to go the weekend before this time.)  Anyway, grandma recently moved into an assisted living fascility, so there were some things she set [...]

Musically challenged.

  So, K wants to have “special” music at our wedding reception.  A friend of his did something similar at his own wedding a year and a half ago, so now K’s got a friend to play keyboard, my brother to play base, and me to sing while he plays guitar. Our first practice was last [...]

Tradition.

  I was so upset for a few days about my future in-laws adding more people to the guest list that I completely forgot to write about my favorite parts of the night. First, they brought the photo albums K tried to convince me didn’t exist.  He was so adorable as a baby, so I don’t [...]

Recuperating

  Well, after a hectic week, my weekend was wonderfully restful and peaceful.  Guess it helped that I had Friday off of work, but it really started Thursday night with me and K’s meeting with our pastor.  It went so much better than I thought it would.  Basically, he said that yes, we still have some [...]

Finally!

  Fall has arrived! We finally have a cool edge to the air and moisture. I was starting to have irrational fears that it would be December 23rd and it would still be eighty degrees outside with that dry wind coming over the hills. Can I just say, I hate Indian summers. Give me this beautiful, [...]
