Well, yesterday we finished decorating the church for my nephew’s wedding, and had the rehearsal. Today we will be having a big 4th-of-July-rehearsal-dinner-barbeque at my sister’s house, where I will be helping decorate, and with whatever is needed. Tomorrow is the BIG DAY! I will be at the reception hall at 9am to decorate, and to the church by 3pm…wedding is at 4pm…reception lasts till midnight, dancing and all! Whew! What a wild weekend this will be! 😉
Enjoy your holiday!

This wonderful batch of goodies came yesterday from Isela! I got my knitted goods back from my designs in, and 2 copies of, the Loom Knitting Pattern Book! 🙂 I also ordered the yummy yarn you see there from her destash sale…don’t you just love those colors? I’m a very big fan of blues and greens…mix them together, and I can’t resist! I think I’m going to have to order an extra fine gauge sock loom to be able to knit up some “every day wear” socks with that Knit and Tonic yarn. I’ll need to do it by July 4th, as Decor Accents is having a sale…check it out here.
Oh, and here’s one other (not so) little item that was in the box… I think it’s already been claimed for is fuzzy comfort!
This is the Cat Nap Cozy…
and it is Gus Approved! 🙂
Oh, and a little piece of tantalizing news…I’m having my first year Blogiversary this month! It was on July 30th of 2007, that I officially created my blog…yippee!!! I’ve decided to hold a celebratory party on Sunday the 27th of July, and of course there will be prizes! One of the books you see above is signed by Isela for some lucky party attendee! …and of course there will be more little goodies to giveaway as well. Stay tuned for the soon to be released plan for fantabulous fun! 😀

…even in my sleep! 😉
I’ve been helping my sister with her son’s wedding, to be held next weekend, on July 5th. As you can imagine, emotions are high, timing is tense, and all brains are wracked to try and remember to plan every detail, so that all goes smoothly, and the event turns out as sweet and memorable as everyone hopes.
Not only this, but at Michaels, we have been gearing up for our wedding event, which was held yesterday, the 28th. So I’ve been having wedding thoughts coming from every direction! This went well, and everyone seemed pleased. Here are a few pics I’d like to share with you…
Everything’s coming up pink roses! 🙂
The funny thing is, this is the exact color for my nephew’s wedding, and so my sister has purchased this arch that I made, for them to use on their special day…
I was going to decorate their arch at the ball room where the reception is to be held, but now I’ll have the pleasure of having already done it, LOL! It would only end up being just a fraction of the cost more, and this saves much time and sore fingers.
Pretty, huh?
This is the bridal bouquet I whipped up to go with the arch.
I just love the mix of natural with the fancy pearls and ribbon. There are little sprigs of tiny pussy willows, and green moss peeking out between the roses, and hydrangeas. The base is wrapped and tied in a brown satin ribbon. If I could choose to go back in time and have my wedding all over again, I’d choose this bouquet in a second!
My friend and our wonderful Wilton Cake Instructor created this sweet something for the event…
doesn’t it look so cute and scrumptious?!
She did an excellent job with all those little flowers, and she said her hubby helped her arrange them all spilling down like that.
I think it reminds me of a summer bonnet! 🙂
And last but not at all…even close…to least, is a picture of something special that arrived for me in the mail last week. One of our lovely online looming ladies sent this package as a thank you for helping her learn to create Bethany’s Booties, and with other little odds and ends as we’ve become online friends…
Thank you so much, Linda!
It’s been a pleasure to get to know you, and to loom with you!
😀
I know we’ll have lots of fun in the future with our
Christmas Countdown at the Clique!
Happy looming, and I hope everyone has a wonderful, and SAFE holiday week ahead.
