Wedding projects part 4

I really wanted some fun shoes. I kept looking for green or purple shoes, but the only ones I found had crazy high heels (no thank you!) or were super ugly. So I ended up settling on some simple silver satin low heels.

They were fine, but the more I thought about it, the more I wanted them to be a little more fun & sparkly. So with a little bit of green netting & some Swarovski crystals, I made my wedding shoes one-of-a-kind!

Wedding projects part 3

Originally, I had planned to make white roses for all of the guys boutonnieres. I actually did make all the roses - and then someone pointed out that the roses were a little big. It turned out that the white sweater that I was working with was just too thick to look 'right' on a suit. At this point, my favorite thrift stores weren't selling sweaters anymore, and I was running low on time.



So I changed it up to calla lillies instead. Here, the thickness of the sweater was an asset instead of a problem. Again, I added a sprig of Lilly-of-the-Valley to the flowers for our dads and for my husband(!).



One of the best parts was that I got to hand them out to our dads & grandad at our rehearsal dinner as a gift! And, my mother-in-law had all of the groomsmen's flowers the night before - I didn't have to worry about delivery or wilted flowers!

My new Studio

Mmmmmm . . . belts!


































Here it is in all its glory - my happy little studio space.

Studio Update!

Things are coming together! I'm starting to feel vaguely organized - I've got all my ties and belts hung up, some preliminary lighting - and I even made stuff today. More Wanderlust buttons!

The only problem was that before everything was in one space, I had NO idea how much fabric I had. It's kind of crazy, actually. I am definitely on a strict, no-new-fabric diet until I make a bunch more stuff.
