She's Getting Married in One Week!

With the wedding less than a week away, it's all downhill from here. I just hope I don't find myself at the bottom in a jumbled heap, but rather coasting to a gentle stop.

The bride and groom are hanging onto sanity by a thread. Things that have been said/done/experienced by him/her/them in the last 24 hours:

  • Packing.
  • Moving to a new apartment.
  • Finding out other roommate is moving out too, so instead of having to just vacuum your old room you have to help clean the whole dang house.
  • Getting overwhelmingly surprised by the kids and teachers at school with a totally unexpected-up on the stage in a throne-all eyes on you-this is great but I really am uncomfortable being the center of attention-wedding shower.
  • Going to Dad's annual St. Patrick's Day dinner.
  • Getting eyebrows waxed.
  • Finding time to tan so you don't look like a ghost in your wedding gown.
  • Geez, look at the time--I gotta get to work!
  • Did you pick up the rings?
  • Oh no! Uncle Biff didn't get a wedding invitation!
  • We need to make 3 copies of these keys.
  • Hi, mom, did you RSVP for you and grandma or you and a guest? Oh. Is that Steven with a 'ph' or with a ' v ' ?
  • Is Dan going to get here in time to get his tux?
  • We can't sit my mother at the same table as my step-mother.
  • I just gotta throw these clothes in the dryer.
  • Didn't he send those pictures for the slideshow? Wait--I'll call him.
  • I've got to be at the fund-raiser carwash until 2:30, then I'll load up my truck and take a load over the the apartment.
  • Mom, he hasn't eaten all day, please make him a peanut butter sandwich
  • Do we have a final count?

Cozy Purple Pop of Color

Cozy purple throws for snuggling!  Adds some color  to the living room.  Thick fleece trimmed straight with rounded corners.  I tried some overcast stitches with my Juki however I couldn't get the look I wanted so I pulled out my serger. Gosh it's been, like 2 years since I used it but luckily it worked (I've had it for quite awhile but I'm still kinda afraid of it 😜).

Oh, BABE-y!

Pics of the fabu BABES gathering at Jennifer's in San Francisco on Sunday, August 21. Thanks so much for hosting, Jen! Here are the pictures. I apologize in advance for any misspelling of names and will happily fix them if you let me know! Georgene offers fitting advice to Lori while Neefer and our hostess look on. Jen, Lori, Dena, Gloria and Veronica (Verosews) swapping fabric, magazines and patterns. Joan (Grannygeek) and Georgene say their goodbyes. Tamtay, Neefer, Jen and Lori get ready to shop! Shopping in the Haight. Lisa M. , Cheryl, Dena and Gloria get inspired at Discount Fabrics

Easter Ensemble

I sewed! I actually sewed! I got this pretty accordian pleated "broomstick" fabric at my first (and only, so far) BABES gathering (BABES is a group of sistah sewists from the bay area who have Pattern Review in common: I've wanted to make it into a skirt for Easter for 2 years and I finally did! Here it is: I've lost 58 pounds over the past 10 months and this is the first thing I've sewed since I started my diet (Atkins). To go with the skirt I bought a knit top (in the misses department, not the Women's department!) and to complete the outfit my sweet girls gave me a gift certificate for a pedicure so I have matching toenails!
