So Square
Wow. I'm not exactly a consistent blogger so far this year, am I? Partly that is because I haven't been doing all that much crafting. Here is the blanket that I've been working on. It has a very easy rhythm to it, so I find it hard to put down. However, it is not going that fast. I thought crochet projects were supposed to be done in, like, an afternoon. Huh.
Everyone in Boston is all freakin' out over the "Pats." J and I are not really sportsfans. I'm doing laundry and making candles and tonight we're going to drink champagne and play videogames. Craft + Nerd Nite! Pretty much the norm here Chez Villain...
My time has been filled with working on the chapter (after this coming week I should have 30 good pages in chapter 2!!), doing yoga, and thinking about wedding stuff. We got a book yesterday, but it wasn't really all that helpful, so we returned it this morning. I wanted more specific ideas for DIYing, and this was way more general. A good basic reference for someone who doesn't do much crafting, but pretty much stuff that most of us would have thought of already. I think I should be able to do the flowers, dress, and favors. Invitations I can do if sending them out becomes prohibitively expensive. The location is still pretty much up in the air as well as catering. I did see a photographer and string quartet that I like. Sigh. So much money...

I love the colors in your blanket! I'm crocheting one myself now, and I can relate to the time issue. *smile*
It sounds like the dissertation is coming along well- congrats!

Weddings are horribly expensive. A good DIY source for wedding stuff is good Ol' Martha. She's got some great ideas - and you can definitely do them yourself.
The best way to get it all done is to deligate. Give something for your mom to do, bridesmaids, etc - makes it a lot easier on the day.
Good luck - and I love the blanket. I wish I had the patience to crochet. I, too, like the afternoon projects when you see something is done. :)
