The I Ching said I had six months until bankruptcy!

So, I've been busy. I mean REALLY busy. Booked rentals for the wedding. Need to add some stuff and take stuff off of that order, but we can do that up until the time we pick it up that morning (provided they have what we need in stock). Met with a florist on Thursday. Meeting with another one on Monday and a fourth (counting one I met with a couple of weeks ago) on Tuesday. Vests are done for the groom, groomsmen and ring bearer. We found the missing yard of fabric folded up inside the other fabrics, so all five of them were done. I never heard back from the company though, so they might have just ignored me. Meh, just as well. Here they are, and more pics here


I almost gave up on my gown today and ordered this one to put my trim on. I decided I should shop around and see what other possibilities there were. Unfortunately, all it did was inspire me to just stop looking and keep working on my mockup. I guess that could be an option in a pinch, but I'm not ready to give up on it just yet. I spent all day working on it, made really excellent progress, so I'm feeling good about it again. I plan to be ordering silk velvet for it on next Friday (happens to be payday).

We've made the rounds to every Dollar Tree in town (that's 5 stores) and bought up every amber votive candle holder they had. Then I went to Michael's and got 60 three inch terra cotta pots. I still have probably 20 eight inch pots to buy. Then of course flowers to plant in them. That's our reception decor, potted plants and candles. Quite a bit less expensive than the first florist I talked to. *sigh* I'm still in negotiations with the band we're trying to get.

Unfortunately, work isn't letting up either. I'm busier now than I've been in months there as well. But I've got a lot of energy lately, so I guess it balances out.

Oh, yeah, I finally got the pictures off the camera of the set I made for Susanna, the ten-year-old little girl. They're all here, but here's a good one of the whole set all boxed up. . .



Also, here's the brooch I won on ebay to go with the wedding gown. . .



I guess that's all. G'night all.

yep, and she's got a lovely voice too! They play kind of celtic/bluegrass. We'll just be getting Fiddlin' Dave and Morgan if we can ever get details hammered out. Their "booking agent" is really unprofessional and hard to deal with. He writes emails like a 12 year old in a chat room. Reminds me of the Futurama quote, "wow, letters like 'u' and 'r' can mean words like 'you' and 'are'".

baka_san will be in the green. rubenonrye will be in the purple. Those are my favorites too. And the tiny one for my nephew is darling I think! Chris' mom had a friend come in from Texas who has been a home ec teacher for like 20 years. Took her three afternoons to get all the vests done. I'm going to make her a really nice set of jewelry as a thank you.
