Bridesmaid rough draft

Navy dress and red heels. Possibly a white shawl or cover up so the ladies don't freeze.

I think I might need to work on the shoes more, or see if i can find a dress at a lower price point. We shall see ...

ALSO I have gotten excited about the idea of teacup flowers. Here is sort of the idea:

Wouldn't that be cute sitting on top a pile of books? I should be thinking exams but having a deep internal debate over linen colors.

Wedding glasses?

I know I have said I want to do my own make up because I want to look like myself on the big ol' wedding day ... however recently I have been trolling cheap online glasses and the idea of wedding glasses hit me. Which is probably another pseudo-mask, but I could always take them off (unlike makeup) since I am not that totally blind yet.

So mod:

So hip:

So I sort of really love the second one because it is called East Brewton, which is the same town that my Alabama family is from.

I know they are loud, but I am scared of contacts and if I do it, why not make a statement?

We had already considered having a pair of fake reading glasses to top off the pile of statment books in the table. Too themey? Eh Justification ~ I should probably own a pair of 'fun' glasses anyway.

Be like the Squirrel, girl

The unexpected is always the sweetest.
I crave. Thanks bumble.

The Biden Effect

Honestly I often feel like Joe Biden. I am well meaning but my words and sometimes outbursts can haunt me. Regular foot in the mouth. Which is probably why I should own this shirt:
The Obama store.

Bridesmaid redux

Again thoughts of health care, cabin and teaparty nonsense dance in my head but this post will be much lighter. I do not want to bore people in real life with what feels like trival selfish thoughts, but I sure am going to bore the internet world.

Here is my new thought for the wedding ... work in progress. The plum and cameo just wasn't feeling like it had enough pop for my taste.

Also I feel like an uber teen for using polyvore.

Life's a Hoot

SO I was actually really happy about how this little guy turned out. He may have a lazy eye but I think that just adds to his adorableness. I could easily make like 15 of these bad boys. I am still afraid to feel like Cinderella(a bad thing), like I don't belong with all these nice things. I will show up with my little owls and get laughed at .... but I need this wedding to have a fun element, whimsy. If it turns out horrid at least I tried.

On the brightside, today is beautiful and has started out bursting at the seams. We met with a caterer and although I think I had a mini heart attack about prices, the creativity was abound. We were talking sliders and mini cheese steaks. They gave us the hard sell with pastries, a gift and a sit down with the head chef. Also a wine dinner on them! I know I am probably being suckered, but I think I like it. They made the experience so pleasant.

My next possible craft experiment:

Dreadfully Ironic Yuppy

So my grand ideas ...

The vase did not work out so well ... I actually sliced myself with a razor blade so I think we can officially call it a fail. I am not sure if I will go back to this project ... I think I need a better blade (better to cut myself with).

So the tree worked but needs some tweaking. Phantom is worried about it being able to hold up the 45 record. Back to the drawing board.

I think for my next trick I am going to try and make felt owls (HP owls) and possibly a felt tree. I think I might go to joanns tonight and get fenatic with felt.
