Blog discontinued

Wedding buds know where to find me. Friends can ask for updates, or just be surprised.

It’s finished!

OK, mostly finished. I’m still waiting for some tiny Swarovski crystals to arrive.

Now I just have, um, everything else to do.

Une petite update

No, it’s still not quiiiiiite done, but here’s a little finished embroidery.

The light at the end of the tunnel

The last piece of the dress is assembled!

I didn’t get as much embroidery done this weekend as I would’ve liked, as I wound up reworking the design a bit first, and then had to spend this morning getting hacked code off my websites!

In other news, we’ve decided to take a trip down to Florida in September. I really didn’t want to spend any unnecessary money before the wedding, but since the Adventurer’s Club closing gives us an excuse to go down for a planning session at Disney… Or is it the other way around?! I was stressed about it, but now I’m pretty excited, as our photographers are free for a session while we’re down there. Now we get to have even more amazing photos!

Oh, dress. Look at how much of you I have done.

Well, this is an entirely LATE dress update, considering this all happened two weeks ago, but, uh… Look! Pictures!

Please pay no attention to the fact that things are lopsided. Another update soon!

Not just another pile of fabric

I truly love hand-sewing. Embroidery, stitching hems, it’s all incredibly soothing.

However, it’s really irritating to have spent a few hours hemming, and have what looks just another “pile of fabric” photo.

Yep.

But I did get to take the above photo with my cute new camera! We have a perfectly worthwhile DSLR, but I’ve been demanding we get a petite point and shoot before Ze Honeymoon. So far, it’s a great little camera, and even takes reasonable shots indoors, so you won’t have to look at blurry cell phone photos anymore. I haven’t ventured outside with it yet, as it’s been 95 degrees and we’re currently waiting out the PLAGUE OF LOCUSTS.

OK, I haven’t made a dress update in a while. Mostly because I haven’t accomplished that much due to spending an unfortunate amount of weekends in Ohio.

I have finished the bottom layer of the dress, but I’ve been too lazy to put on my stays and get a picture.

I’ve been order supplies so that I can get started on the embroidery soon – beautiful silk threads from Yodamo, and tiny satin sequins from Cartwright’s.

It’s official!

It’s the EIGHT MONTH MARK!

I mailed eighteen pages worth of contract and a deposit check.

Y’all can’t back out now!

I ‘plussed’ my bouquet

There. I feel better now.

faaaaaaabriiiiiiic!!!

I can’t believe they got 26 yards of fabric in a flat-rate Priority box. That is skill.
