Sadie, Sadie, Married Lady

The wedding went off without a hitch (no pun intended). The ceremony and reception took place at the Wedgewood Banquet Center at Foxtail Golf Club in Rohnert Park. I highly recommend this venue. Everthing was perfect and the Director was wonderful. We got the Crystal Wedding Package which is their lowest end afternoon deli buffet. They offer an outdoor rose garden wedding site which was plan A, but it rained (we knew that was a risk with a March wedding) so plan B (moving the wedding indoors) was put into place and it only made the ceremony that much more intimate. I have never seen my daughter so happy as she was on her wedding day. Both she and her groom were glowing. God is indeed good.

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 😜).

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!

I Got Yer Picture of the Day Right Here

Every day I check my neice's picture of the day because I just can't seem to get enough. My sister understands and is faithful to update it regularly from Minnesota we out of town relatives can get our Sonia Rose fix. But! They are here! In California! At my house! Yay! They arrived late Monday night for a week's visit. I keep wanting to click on my pic of the day link and then I remember--I got the real thing at home, at least for a few more days.
