busy busy busy
things are, as usual, very busy. now i understand why there are actual "wedding planners" who do that as their full time job. it seems like i have a never ending list of things to do in the next 6 weeks before the wedding. and yes, i'd say about 80% of that is my fault, for deciding to make my dress, 3 bridesmaid dresses, the invitations, and the flowers. oh, and don't forget the yet-to-be-determined centerpieces! as long as i have the dresses finished by mid-september i will be able to relax a bit.
with this week being another busy freelancing week, i may have to postpone uploading photos of the new office. why? well, i still need to finish putting everything away. after countless trips to ikea, i think i finally have enough storage boxes to start. the real problems will start when i make the transition of moving my sewing area into the office [after the wedding], so that the previous office can be remodeled into a guest room. confused yet?
on the sewing front, i haven't had much time for anything outside of wedding dresses. once those are finished, i'm hoping to start on the amy butler weekender bag. i ordered the pattern a few weeks ago, and need to pick out some cool fabric. it would be a nice honeymoon carryall, but i don't see that happening. knitting wise, its stop and go. lately, the only time i have to catch up is during an hour or two of nighttime tv, if i find the time. between all the other things on our to-do lists, tv watching isn't that high anymore. [thank you tivo.] that is until next week when nip tuck starts again ;) i'm still working away on my tivoli top, and again, am getting slightly bored with the stockinette stitch. so, i started a small cabled project, the trellis baby sweater on knitty. its a quick knit, and pretty easy to do. and with so many people having babies, you can never go wrong with baby sweaters. and this, by the way, is another recycled knit.... i think i'd be able to make 3 of these out of one adult sweater :) it looks like i could be done with both by the weekend, so i won't bother taking in-progress shots. no time, no time!
i have a few knits in mind for my next projects, 3 to be exact :) this cable-y sweater from adrienne vittadini, this hopefully not-too-boring-slouchy-hoody-cardy from knit cafe, and... well, now i can't remember what the other one. if only i could find my list....
what else is going on? ian and i went up to erie this weekend for some family-visiting and some bridal shower action. it was [obviously], my first where i was the guest of honor and it was a lot of fun. thank you penny, you did a great job! we had some good food, good company, and i got quite a few lovely gifts. surprisingly, only one lingerie item [thanks again to penny ;) ]. i'm definitely looking forward to the pittsburgh family & friends shower next weekend. its really making the wedding seem more "real" and thats very exciting :)
time for me to get back to coding a site i'm working on, and running out to buy some milk for my desperately needed coffee.
