Since I’m getting married in oh, 11 days, I apologize if I turn this into a wedding blog for a little while. But remember my ombré fabric project? I was thinking of cutting the fabric into strips and using it kind of like streamers, and then the other day I walked by an Urban Outfitters […]
New York Minute
This weekend we went to NYC again to see friends, especially the one who is going to be our wedding officiant. We’ve known her ever since we all lived in Portland at the same time, but we moved to San Francisco and then she moved to New York a couple of years ago, so it’s […]
Paper Rosettes Tutorial, Method II
On Tuesday I showed you one way of making paper rosettes/medallions, and here is another. I like the first method better, which is why I showed it to you first, but this one will give you fuller rosettes with a diameter of 6 inches instead of 8. It is pretty much the same as this […]

And best of all there are instructions to make your own for very little money. I’ve been browsing fancy lingerie online and this gorgeous Stella […]

Lately I’ve been working on a couple of wedding-related projects, and tomorrow I’m headed to Portland for my baby sister’s college graduation. While I’m there I’ll be really busy with graduation and wedding stuff, including seeing our venue for the first time! I have a couple of projects planned for while I’m there that I’m […]
