Couple Things

I got a bunch of brooches I bought in the mail today! Not quite done but getting there...




The handle makes such a big difference in holding it. It is still majorly top heavy but the cone shape really helps.



Colored an invite page. Still in process too. Clearly I need words.

Started thinking about necklaces. Which do you like best (which lace piece keep in mind I can cut them down more and have a lot more pieces of each; also should I add a charm too? if so of what? thanks in advance!)?

(please don't mind the tablecloth background)

Also, made some secret bridesmaid gifts!

I have tomorrow off to get my car fixed (yes the lights are still on) but hopefully in the off time I can get some more stuff done!

Little EHO

Sorry I have no real updates since I am having issues with this guy:


(image from here which strangely enough is an article detailing the very issue I was having...)

Except mine is a sport so there is a sweet mini spoiler on the back. And the bottom of mine is all rusty...but you get the point! Several lights decided to come on yesterday so I spent most of last night at PepBoys then at my future father-in-laws and hopefully the future hubs and him fixed it. That would be wonderful since PepBoys wants me to pay $100 for them just to diagnose the issue, then more to actually fix it. When we were driving home last night, it also sounded like there was a ghost under the hood but that noise eventually stopped too.

Keep your fingers crossed for me that my sweet,crummy little ride is fixed! Because I totally want to spend my tax refund on wedding stuff, not car repairs....

Weekend Update

Inside page of invite and RSVP cards not colored in or worded yet.

Atleast I got something done!

Happy Friday!

What are you up to this weekend? Tonight, I have a charity trivia game. I am going out in celebration of my pop's birthday tomorrow for some Indian food and sunday is V Day. Instead of doing valentines though, I asked Ry if we could have awesome food in celebration of Chinese New Year instead. So I am looking forward to some seriously delicious eats and for dessert I am making these (kind of out of place I realize but tasty and easy!).

Hope you have a great one!

these babies are mine!

moral of the story? if you go on ebay everyday and will it to be, the shoes you want will be there for $100 off their original price (and in the 'buy it now' category!)


BLAM-O!

Snow Day Snow Day Snow Day

No work for me today! Woo! Here's to hope I do something productive with my time off. So far all I've done is read a magazine and eat cereal.

And I want to wish a happy birthday to my dad!

Bear with me....

(more bouquet progress! I realize it is lopsided but the back of it is still blank so hopefully that will stop after I fill the whole base (the base is a stryofoam ball cut in half. I bought styrofoam cones to use for handles))

...while my posts are far and few between. I know things are happening but I'm not sure what to write about. I feel like I'm being very lazy (even though I am doing the 'Natalie' version of workout 1 of the 30 day shred and my legs don't hurt as much anymore! so thats progress right???)

This has what has been going on with me:

-managed to single handedly give heartworm pills to all my cats with only 2 scratches to show for it! bam! (also: very surprised by who behaved the worst)

- attempted to go through my mom's attic to find some of my grandmother's old jewelry (brooches!) which resulted in me looking at prom pictures from high school and friend requesting my date (for both years) on facebook. hope its the right adam and that he doesn't think i'm a total creep! (update: its is the right adam but not sure about second half of that sentence)


(me and my maid of honor promin' it up! thats me on the left)

-won some more brooches on ebay. For some reason my computer doesn't want me to post them. Will post them as soon as I get them and hot glue 'em. Not sure at this point how many more I want to order (the base is more than half full but I also want to do little bouquets for my ladies too). Also, they are heavy.

-ordered some supplies from etsy for secret bridesladies gifts! Also, ordered some yellow striped ribbon to wrap the bouquet handles in. I then became obsessed with finding a cool "L" pin to pin to the handle. I get on these ridiculous hunts for a singular idea of something I am convinced I need, like a monogram pin.

I am having one of those weeks where I find myself organizing my sock drawer instead of doing things I actually have to. Like now how I'm updating my blog and looking at sites like this instead of putting out the trash and picking up the house.

Okay I'm going to go do the trash.

For real.

Ok now.
