I REALLY Need to Spend Some Time Sewing

Thank you for the wedding advice last week.  It was a whirlwind and an amazing event. 

Wow, it has really been a few weeks since I have sat down and sewed.  I am anxiously awaiting getting back to sitting in front of my machine. 

The amount of projects that I have is amazing.  Here is my list of May projects to get working on:

1.  Finish a wedding quilt for a friend married in November

2.  Start and finish a baby quilt for Jett born 3 weeks ago.

3.  Start baby quilt from November wedding.  Yep, a honeymoon baby is on the way. 

4.  Deconstruct my wedding dress.  I am taking the beading and satin off to use around our wedding photos.  The skirt will be saved for a quilt when we decide to have kids. 

5.  Make more stuff for my Etsy.  I’ve had a few views on items, but no buyers.  My in-laws received quite a few of my potholders over the weekend.  Time to make more. 

Here is a photo from this weekend’s festivities.

Wedding Week

The week is finally here.  I have been waiting for this day since December 2008.  Friends and family from all over the country will be joining us to celebrate our big day. 

I’m going to be running around like Monica on Friends, “I’m getting married today.”  Hopefully minus the trip and falling part. 

I guess I’ll have to change my screenname from Grlfrnd to WIFE.  Wow, madness.  Have any marriage advice?  We are both blessed that our parents are still married and have provided us with great relationship examples. 

I can’t wait to share with you all the wonderful advice that was given to me at my shower.  We had everyone write on fabric squares.  I’m hoping to have a few out during the reception for those didn’t have a chance to attend. 

Below is my favorite picture of us.  It’s also from our first date.  He asked me to attend the wedding of his best friend.  I am so happy he did.
