… for do-it-yourself (DIY) backyard weddings
Well, let’s just get something out in the open right now… I dislike clothes shopping, maybe loathe might be a better word. I waited as long as I could to purchase my dress. Everyone was asking “have you got your dress yet” no, not yet I’d answer. Gasp! Well?…
I did try on dresses at Davids Bridal [...]
From the dictionary: damn v. damned, damning, damns. 1. To pronounce an adverse judgment upon; criticize adversely. 2. To bring about the failure of; ruin. 3. To condemn as harmful… Yes, I think this word fits my situation quite well.
When My mother-in-law suggested we plant the Hyacinth Bean plant I should have guessed by the [...]
About six weeks more until our big day and wedding favors are on the list to take care of. So…off to the Soap Store with one of my favorite friends. Sarah has happily volunteered to make our wedding favors for us.
She will be creating a small bar of homemade soap for our guests to take home with [...]
I’m so tired! Do you ever feel like everyone is pulling you, and in different directions? The tough part is I really want to be there for everyone, helping, supporting, doing. I pride (pride goeth before the fall?) myself on being able to do ”it all” most of the time. But today my mind is screaming take a [...]
Well, spring break has come and gone. The weather was rather nasty but Les and I got to everything on the list. The pergola is built and so is the porch swing! I love how they turned out and wish I had pictures to show you.
However, my camera is dead! I’m asking for a new one for my mothers day [...]
Yesterday I gave you my list of things I needed to get done this week on spring break. I thought I’d give a run down on what I’ve accomplished so far.
Monday it was very stormy weather until late afternoon; about 4:30 I was able to get outside. My son Jaryd and I raked up some bark from [...]
Spring Break, and I am so stink-in excited! Now don’t get me wrong, I love being a home-school mom, it’s just by the time spring break gets here I’m really ready to do something different. On this subject, you never know what the weather will be like for this long awaited break but I have made [...]
Last week I was whining about our Wanna Be Bride not taking time to work on the wedding. Well, it sounds like soon the wedding plan is taking second place to nothing and no one, plus… she is going full throttle. Yikes! I know what full throttle is for this child and I’ll be the one begging for [...]
If you are a DIY (do-it yourself) type person, you probably have a sewing machine in the house. I have an old 830 Bernina that was handed down to me from my mother. It was used when she purchased it for herself. I love this machine. The bobbin thread never (ok, I can’t remember the last time) runs [...]
You should have seen the eyes on our Wanna Be Bride when I showed her the new heading on her post. What? Was the cry, only 22 more weeks until the wedding! Ah, success :~. Ok, I know she is busy but waiting until the last minute to do things is Not how I work.
Did you [...]
