My First Embroidery Project

Thought I would show off my first embroidery project. I did this on a Tshirt and it is so cute.

I am having a bird addiction at the moment, anything bird and whimsical I am loving. Hopefully the bird obsession doesn't evolve, because before you know it I will be embroidering Turkeys and there is NOTHING cute about a turkey. Of course, there is somthing YUMMY about a turkey, but I digress (food always does that to me).

If you want to learn how to do embroidery here are some links you will love!
For the beginner check out Stitchtopia and for some more advanced projects I love The Purl Bee's two color embroidery tutorial.

Invitations Arrive!

My invitations have finally arrived. Now I can work on getting these out to everyone. This is just a preview, but I am so excited I just had to share.

To me the invitation sets the tone of the wedding. Guests get a first look at the color and aesthetic. As they say you only get one chance to make a first impression.

I can't wait for them to arrive in your mailbox.

Paper Flowers

Featured above paper flower kits from the Paper Source

With the cost of weddings ever rising, I say Take a Stand, Go Paper!! Paper flowers are so beautiful. As you all know I LOVE PAPER.

I plan to use these paper flowers for my wedding. They are simple to make and quite fast (0-completion in 30 minutes).

But, they don't bring the fragrance of real flowers you say? Simple Solution: Add a small fragrant sachet to the flower center. Hopefully soon I will have step by step photos of the design process for these flowers, look for that soon.
