It's all about the wedding

That's it. I put my foot down on my knitting and focused on my wedding. Ok. I know, not that big of a deal considering it's still crafting. However, I have been procrastinating BIG Time.

Here are my pictures of the two new necklaces I've made for the girls:





I've also worked on the boutonnieres. These are not completely done. I do have to manicure them and I am thinking about a beaded pin to hold them in place instead of trying to rig something hidden.


I purchased the feathers from Good Earth Farm in Loxahachee (spl), Fl.


Alright, I lied. It hasn't been all about the wedding. I have been working on a Hoodie from Blue Sky Apalca. Michael gave it to me for my birthday and I am getting through pretty quickly. I am already on the sleeves and I only started two weeks ago.

We are also in the process of trying the home buying experience again. We had a couple of setbacks earlier this year with the house we originally wanted and my mom getting sick all of a sudden. But, we are plugging through now, hopefully we will be able to start packing soon. I'm collecting boxes and trying to resist the urge to pack, pack, pack. It's hard. However, I did get a paint stick from Amazon. I hope it works because I have painted my apartment lovely shades, one being Chianti (and have heard the comment from the manager, you are going to paint that before you move right?... of course lady or you can paint it and take it out of my deposit) ! Which I realize I do not have ONE stinking picture of.

BTW. Side note. I took a One a Day walgreens brand of a multivitamin with time release guarana and that thing nearly made me fall out today. I was talking to my boss and my vision started to narrow and my pulse raced.. not to mention I felt like I had to vomit. The only thing I can think of that would have made me feel this way was the stinking vitamin. I didn't read that it was a much caffiene as a cup of coffee, and I had one of those as well. I've been on a low caffiene diet lately so.. you can imagine.

Well.. 20 minutes to 10pm. And I am an oldie but goodie so if I want to get some knitting in, I better go to bed soon.

Complete

I am totally complete with the MudFlap tank. I added a small sleeve and took in the sides so it doesn't gap. I am a proud person of a finished item. I have to block it, though I am not sure how, but for now, it's awesome.
This sleeve is an update that I made because the tiny tank top looked a bit weird on me. Oh really, I realized that I was a little too old for that type of look, no longer a junior. It's weird to have your craft speak to your age, it's actually quite RUDE!











Ok. Meanwhile I still haven't done much of my wedding crafts. But I have found a invitation that I think will be the one that I am sending. In fact, I know it. I just have to decide how many I need since it's a minimum 50. But it is a put together, pre cut craft project:
Well, that's all I have time for today. On to the cleaning and crafting!

Labor filled Labor Day

Ok. Perhaps not so labored, since I am not at work. However, I did tie up a few loose ends. (slap your knee and lmao). I finished my second sock and then I worked on the too big mudflap tank. I am moments away from the tank being done but am having an issue with the whole crab stitch.

Meanwhile. I am watching too much weather on the news. Waiting or finding out rather, that the hurricane is almost out of the NOLA area. My mom is in Baton Rouge and my brother is in Hammond. And my friend got out as well. So hopefully things will pass quickly.

Michael and I took some time too look at houses this weekend. We are teeter-tottering on buying a home and which one. We found a 1000 square foot pool home, 2 bedrooms and a bath that has only a shower. Everything is top of the line and done in my taste. However. There is no room for expansion and the closets are small. Our other choice is a fixer upper. It has a pool and is about 1200 or more square feet. It's marketed as a 4/2 but it's really a 3/2 with an enclosed garage.

Well that's all for now. A little bit more than my crafting but it's all affecting my progress on my little things.
