....Only two million years to go! I feel like i'm in frickin wedding *Limbo.*
So ok, I HAD to go to Michael's. I was commissioned to knit a jester hat for someone at church, because they work at the Renaissance Faire in Wisconsin. After I got their 8 colors of 100% cotton yarn, I made my way through the scrapbook aisle, in search for something for my wedding. I found "Once Upon A Time" paper that was discontinued. I loved it soo much! Isn't it gorgeous?? However, I only have 3 sheets, and the idea that I had for it would ruin the integrity of the paper. I decided that my theme colors are going to be earthy...like a garden. I'm using brown for the background of the paper, pink center with a slightly larger green background behind the pink. My tables will have green and pink flowers. That's as far as I got! lol.
So, I decided to do hearts for my "save the date" magnets that i'm making. This way, the item still retains the nature beauty of the paper.
I found this awesome stencil that I will not only use on translucent paper, but for my "Save the date" magnets. I will have a brown background with a green painted/airbrushed stencil, and the heart will be somehow glued just like that to the stencil. I'll figure out a outliner for the heart later. our information will be written outside of the stenciled part.
I just love intricate details. Each heart is unique. Of course, I still have to cut the hearts out a little better later. It will come out quite nicely when I get more supplies. It doesn't look like too much to the outsider, but it looks great in the completed form in my mind!...ok, an a more knitting note!
I'm officially a beta tester for Ravelry! yay!
I've added a few WIP and stashing to the site. Sorry about the crappy pic. I didn't know how else to take a snap-shot, besides using my camera.... and cameras & monitors don't mix!
Upcoming: Working on the Jester hat from Knitwhits. Deadline: July 5th!

Start looking at dresses =P I wanna see what you have in mind. I actually see you in a strapless, rather plain white gown with a gorgeous veil, maybe lace. . . . you could knit it up =P
hair partially down with some light curls
yup. . . I can't believe I'm imagining this oy! and yesterday we were freshmen in Currier. . . how time flies
Save the date magnets.... you know, before the invites go out. I haven't even looked at dresses. I wouldnt do strapless... um, they would fall of me, giving everyone a boobshow! maybe down and (real) curly hair with long veil. no knits.
Joe once told me that he's glad i'm a sensible knitter. I wouldnt try kntting anything dumb like a wedding gown. lol. that's too.... country....
