Sewing blog or wedding blog hmmm...

Ok so I decided to change this blog for the next month to cover everything going on for the wedding. It will serve as a place for me to keep my friends updated, as well as, somewhere I can vent. We leave for Philadelphia to stay with Josh's parents in ten days. It is hard to believe all the planning is about to be over and our day will be here. This past weekend we booked our limo, got all the final paperworked fed exed and Josh's parents booked the rehearsal dinner. That was a big chunk of what was left to do. Then yesterday, we bought our ringbearer his little tuxedo. Check it out :




My next big thing to do is get my dress back from the seamstress. She will be bringing it back this week and I pray everything is ok. After 3 days of calling I finally found someplace in NY that will steam my dress. Alot of places won't touch a wedding dress if they did not alter it. Who knew???????

We are left with deciding on what to do about programs, printing a few pictures and stuff out and buying a few last minute items like my bridal purse. Not so much to do but most is a little time consuming.

We have 25 people who have not yet responded to inites so we are in the process of contacting them as we have to give the hall a FINAL number on June 30th. I am hoping we get the responses soon so I can start on seating charts. Speaking of seating charts. We ordered place cards with our pictures on them and they are still not here :( Also our cake topper is somewhere in transit or production. These are the little things that are stressing me out. I was never a last minute person but all of a sudden everything is last minute because I am waiting on other people. That is enough to driveme crazy !!!

Thanks for listening to me vent :)

update

Wow! with all the wedding planning I have severely neglected my blog. I have not done any sewing/quilting since the last week in May. That last week I whipped up a quick bag as a thank you for my matron of honor. She did an amazing job on my bridal shower. Here is a picture of that bag.


I still have 1 more bag to make this week as a gift. Then I intend to work on a bridal crazy tote. We leave for New jersey on July second. Hard to believe 2 weeks from tomorrow. Anyhow, I plan to keep everyone updated on the wedding activities on here and facebook. I will link my blog to facebook ( if I can figure that one out). This way everyone can join in the hysterical chaos that is sure to happen leading up to the wedding.

More later...

more totes

Here are two more totes I made. The pink one is for my mom i stuffed it with pajamas. The second one is for me to use. I will probably make myself another one soon.

Mothers Day Gift

I had no idea what to get for Mother's day for anyone. I will be back up in Ny May 20 and hand deliver these gifts. This one is for my step mother Jo. I am making two more one for my mom and one for my MiL. The one for mom I will stuff with bath stuff and the one for mil with quilt stuff :)

Tote !

I finally got around to making my first tote. It took me 2 days but I think next time it will only take a few hours. I can't wait to go shopping for fabric to make different patterns! My big one will be a BRIDE tote to use the days we are on our wedding trip.

Quilted cosmetic bag

For years I have been intimidated by making purses and bags. However what intimidated me even more was zippers. Yesterday I conquered both fears. Here is a quilted cosmetic bag I made. Today I will start on a charm pack party tote I can't wait :)

UFO finished and used in sewing room

I had one top unfinished. This weekend I decided to finish it as a lap quilt for my sewing room. It is by far not my favorite but it will do until I can make myself a new one.
