Ring Pillows

For the few of you that check in every blue moon...here is a sneak peak at a crafty wedding project. I'm still trying to figure out the best fabric and solution for the "pillow" part, but you can get the idea.

We'll have two ring bearers, thus the two ring pillows. One is without pillow...partly so you can see the inner workings...mostly because I was too tired and lazy to make another temporary pillow piece.

Hooray for crafts!



Oh, and in case it's not obvious...these are meant to resemble nests. Yup, that's right - BIRDS' NESTS.

Made my own Carcassone bag

Because I was jealous of everyone else's free bag they got with expansion sets, I finally made my own.

Andy and I picked up some fabric at Ikea MONTHS ago (probably closer to a year). So that finally should really read FINALLY!s

It's got birds on it.

Internet Vacation...

On Vacation from the internet...or at least, it is very hard to come by.

I will resume posting when I return to Massachusetts.

Besides, Florida can make a 'body sun stupid. ;-)

I wish I had...

I wish I had a keen observation on the day.

Florida is hot.

The air is humid.

I am exhausted.

Good night!

Wedding Dancer

I learned last night at Julie & Noah's reception, that if I my new job doesn't work out - I may be able to start a new business as the Wedding Dancer!

Apparently I'm good at sparking up the dance floor and getting people out moving and grooving. The funny thing is, I bet there is somebody out there that would actually pay for my services.

Wedding Bells are Ringing!

Congratulations, Julie & Noah!

Today, Julie & Noah will tie the knot in a traditional Jewish ceremony in Allentown, PA! Mazel Tov!

Yesterday, when we checked into our hotel, we were given this lovely bag of PA goodies from the bride and groom, along with a sweet letter thanking us for traveling so far to join them on their special day. Awwww...

Last night, we joined the couple for a superb dinner at Bolete where they toasted us - their friends and families! It was a really nice touch.

With all these weddings to attend and my own to plan...I'm taking notes. ;-) Obviously, we can't do everything every bride and groom does, but we can steal some of our favorite ideas.

Oh Lately, I've been crafting

Here are a few pics of the Lemon Tea Sugar Scrub that I made and divided into jars as add-on gifts for our many soon-to-be newlywed friends. In addition to monetary gifts, I thought it'd be nice to have a little something handmade. Each couple got their own card and jar design. I tried to match the couples' color theme where I could (i.e. if I had the supplies in my bins of crafty goods).

Oh, I am going to miss these crafty days.
