A Wedding Story...


Well, if you're getting married this year and I'm invited, chances are good you're getting pillows. I made this pair for Matt & Kim for their wedding gift this past Saturday. I asked Matt a bunch of random questions through email and found out his living room is brown and light blue, so hopefully these match! I think they look great!

The wedding was fabulous! I used to work with Matt and he is by far one of the nicest people I've ever met. Kim is beautiful and friendly and sweet as can be. It's almost sickening how cute they are together. There were a TON of TGIFriday's people at this wedding. People I hadn't seen in years! I had to quit working there unexpectedly when I was put on bedrest while pregnant with David, and many of these people kept me sane.

Look at that! Four generations of Friday's folk! Aside from the flashbacks of working there, the reception was a riot (hated working there, loved the people!) The Rumplemintz was flowing and the laughter was plentiful. With the exception of being seated between my husband and ex-boyfriend it was perfect! FYI, ex-bf's new fiancee is really nice and the seating arrangement was much less awkward than expected.
It was great to see everyone! Thought I'd pop in here and share the quick story... back to costumes for me!
October, please end already!!


Oh yeah, one more thing...

WELCOME TO THE WORLD KAITLYN MARIE!!

Born this morning at 8:45, baby #2 to my friend Michelle whom I've known since we were kidlets ourselves. I can't wait to meet and snuggle her! I hope she loves this quilt I made for her!

Oh October...

Brrrr.

I have been so busy! Tuesday I spent 10 hours on Halloween costumes. Seven costumes to make, and I waited till this week. My procrastination paid off a little since everything I needed was on sale this week, but why did I think this wouldn't take that long? They aren't even close to done yet, I just got the complicated part done. Mostly. The miracle I'm trying to work with felt on one of these is just not working out. I'm holding off on posting pictures only because of their sheer awesomeness, so I'm forcing myself to wait till they're finished....

Note to self: Next year, don't wait till late October to start making costumes. You don't have time for this.

Put Some Clothes On!


I finally got a picture of my alien with his new jacket and scarf! I wanted to make him a hoodie, but it turned into a really cute jacket instead. He's going to live in Wisconsin on Monday!

Soooooo.....

I deleted my last post talking about my kiddie-klepto. I found my camera and I was feeling guilt for all but accusing him of hiding it. *sigh* This mom stuff is even more exhausting when ya screw up.

And now that's off my chest. Back to our regularly scheduled programming.
