My Got-Done List...

Here's my got-done list, from the to-do list I made this morning.

Project #1

I put stems on my felt flowers! It was long (2 hours) and boring (eh) process. But, its done! I realize that I have to make a lot more for the pomanders, but, I have all the flowers cut out, all I have to do is embroider and wire them.

Here is a shot of how long of stems I put on the flowers. It's better to have them too long than too short!

And here is Janes Tulle Poof! It's amazing, isn't it? Leave a comment, and I'll put up a tutorial for the poof.

Jane and I were talking about using fake nests and putting little miniature birds in them as center pieces for the tables at the reception. Not an hour later a dear friend of the family pops in for a visit, and says "any you ladies wants this nest?" Jane is worried about anyone getting the ew-ickies with a real nest with real poop in it near their food, which I can understand. But, I think it's too cool, so it's the centerpiece of the sweetheart table.

Remember my wishing jar? Well, a wishing jar is no good without wishing cards! So, a few days ago I went to the craft store and bought a package of scrapbook paper, and a large die cutter. And you know what to do from there!

Isn't that slick? It comes out in a whole shape (if you're going to try this, make sure that it is not a punch for a whole sheet, but one that makes tag punches).

And here is my project complete. An old note paper box filled with my wishing cards, and my decorated wishing jar.

And for tomorrows project, I need to fix the veil to a haircomb, and bead the top of it.

Tomorrow is another day. I put in a good days work today. On top of wedding projects, I raked grass at the house, planted 3 herb pots, fed calves, and helped grind cow feed. It's been a very busy day.
