Alright, alright!

Shees! The wedding was last Saturday and everyone wants to see pictures. I have some of them, but not all, so I can only post a few here and there until I have them all.

So here is an authorized picture of my beautiful lovely daughter, C, who was a bridesmaid. I altered her dress and made the cloak.
Now, if I can do this correctly, I'll try to pull another of the bride over from the cd itself. All this technology...

This is my lovely new Daughter in Law, M being walked down the aisle by her father. I made the gown. You can't tell, but it's got an embroidered vine up one side of the bodice with flowers made out of beads and it's also got pearls all along the top. (I just viewed the post and if you click on each picture it enlarges it and you can see detailing)
This is the kids during the ceremony. Our minister was pretty cool. My son, A, was pretty nervous but seemed a little more relaxed by this point.

That's it for tonight...the pizza is almost done and I want to go spend some time with C and finish up my round robin block since it's late already. They gave me some leniency since I was having a wedding, but that card has been played and it's back to real life for me. I'll post more pictures as I come by them. Hope you enjoy them.

peace,

Holy Bananas

My son is getting married tomorrow morning. How weird is that. I'm already getting all choked up. Just thinking about his life and all the things I remember about him as an infant and a toddler. I'm really glad that I bought waterproof mascara in preparation for the event. I think I'm kind of in shock right now.

Guess I should try to get some sleep. It will be a long day tomorrow.

peace,

D

What I've been doing...

I noticed the last post was from February 26th. That was about 10 days after I started working on the wedding clothes. Well, today I finished the wedding clothes. That's about 8 solid weeks of sewing. Here is a small example of what I've been doing.
This is my hubby in his brand new kilt. He looks a little dazed b/c I ambushed him as soon as he walked through the door after working a 10 hour day. But I think it looks pretty good for someone who's never made a kilt before.

Now, I have half a day plus whatever time is left after going to work to get the house sorta straightened up. Luckily, the folks that will be staying here don't care so that's truly a blessing.

peace,

Deb
