The date is set...

and it is October 6, 2012.(Thank you Andreann. I was rushing myself a bit.lol.) I know that is two years away, but since I am planning to craft as much as possible I am going to need the extra time. Plus with Seth and I paying for the whole wedding it gives us time to get funds together and divide the cost over time. I have a lot of ideas, and am planning to start working on some of the craftier stuff soon. My mom is going to make my dress and probably at least pieces for the entire bridal party. The bridal party is not going to be very big. Right now we are thinking just a Maid of Honor, Best Man and Flower Girl. Oh and my oldest friend will have a special role as Ring Misress, lol, as long as she accepts. My mom got this amazing silver box at Swappers Day for free I think and we are going to use that as the "ring pillow". All it needs is a good polishing and some tlc.


I am going to try really hard not to turn this into a wedding blog. lol. So...I'm going to limit how often I can talk about it. I am becoming unfortunately wedding obsessed. It's important but it can not be my life for the next two years. Sheesh.

On the weight loss front I am now down 26.5 pounds and still going strong. I am fitting into clothes I haven't been able to for a while. And I was able to wear my oh so gorgeous and expensive leather bodice for the first time since I received it. I had ordered it and then paid for it over time, but by the time I received it I couldn't fit in it. I got to wear it for the first time on our trip to MIRF. That is the reward of weight loss.

I will have some crafty pictures later this week. I'm working on a lot of things and will hopefully get some completed and photographed. :)

I hope you'll share what you're working on for your wedding as you go. I'd love to see all the crafts and hear about the planning and dresses and oh, goddess cake!

I think sometimes I'd like to marry Joe all over again so I can finally have that piece of wedding cake the servers at my wedding neglected to feed me... ho hum. ;)

Practical Magic and my very first Giveaway

Image
"For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in town." ~ Alice Hoffman, Practical Magic In preparation for this blog party I decided to reread the book Practical Magic  by Alice Hoffman. I remembered loving the book because the magic that they described was so much more natural than "supernatural". It always seemed so much more real to me. Everything was more subtle and I could relate to these beautiful, strong women.  Reading the book anew I fell in love all over again. The aunts eclectic nature, taking in their nieces even though they never married or had children. The black cats haunting their home. The late night visitors. The orphans who grow into two different, but very similar women. Sally's beautiful daughters who have their own problems with the Owens name. The men who fall into the women's lives. Jimmy the corpse.  The book is so beautiful that, even tho

Betsy's Gypsy Dreams

Image
When I was a little girl I would sit on my front porch reading and dreaming that the gypsies would come to take me away. I loved the music, dancing, color and whimsy of the gypsy. Their spirit spoke of freedom that my mid-western soul could not help but envy. I wanted to run away and find my place among those beautiful people.  And as an adult I still do. I love to dress in what I think of a a gypsy style. For my gypsy dreams post I am going to share clothes and accessories with a gypsy flair that I love, want or covet completely. found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here I hope you can use these inspirations to create your own gypsy look. For added flair make sure your skirt has bells or wear a bell anklet. Bring a little gypsy into the everyday.  Blessings.
