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.

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.

Time keeps on tickin'...

Into the future

There never seems to be enough time for all I want to do. And then suddenly I find days to just sit on my bum and eat popcorn and watch old shows. Well - TODAY IS NOT THAT DAY!

Today I have been non-stop since I woke up and am not even close to finishing everything I need to get done before I leave on two back-to-back out of town trips!

I have nearly completed my craft projects, however. Little wedding gifties to go along with cash-a-roo. Hopefully I can share pictures soon. To give you a little something to look forward to...they are jars of homemade Lemon Tea Sugar Scrub. I tried it out for myself first, of course, and my skin is SO SOFT! I don't even need to use lotion anymore. Only down side is that it is impracticably messy. Well, at least it's meant for shower use! AND it's all natural, so no weird chemicals being rubbed deep into your skin.

Off to finalize the crafts and pack the last of the luggage!
