A Tie for J
I finally got around to making J's wedding tie! For my first tie, I think it is pretty darned good. They are actually really easy; I think my subsequent ties will be better/faster. It looks kind of wrinkly, but I think that is mostly the flash. Dupioni doesn't hold a crease well, but it doesn't hold wrinkles either, so by the time the big day rolls around, it should be just fine.
I also made a suuuuuper long sash for me. Yay!
I don't know if I will wear it the whole time, but I've been liking the look of sashes on other gals. Also, I think I have found some shoes! Keep your fingers crossed that they fit. I'll report back when I know more. I ended up getting a sample of Lancome's Teint Idole foundation since I am contemplating something with slightly more coverage for special occasions. The crabby sales lady tried to get me to get a shade far too dark, saying that I would look "pasty" with the one I wanted. I happen to be pasty and, crabby sales lady, I'll have you know that I like being pasty! Humph. I think Ivoire 1 looks just fine. Looks like my future Lancome purchases will all be on the internets...
Here are the 32 flowers I have made so far. I wonder how many more I will need? Do you think that 250 live roses is enough?? I found vases at Crate and Barrel on sale (4 tall and 18 small) and got some paper at Paper Source for the "programs" and menus. Programs is in quotes because we don't have a wedding party and it will be quite brief. Mom was pretty keen on programs, so I figured I had better find something that would work...
Bored with this wedding stuff yet??! Heh. The weather is getting a tad better. Perhaps I will be able to sew dresses again! I have one all cut out. I just couldn't bring myself to sew it up when it is 32degrees outside...
