It's My Birthday

First and foremost I want to give all honor, praise and thanks to God for allowing me another year on earth. Without his mercy, grace and unceasing love I would be nothing. I am so excited and feel so loved on my birthday. I have been blessed to be surrounded by wonderful family and friends and am greatful for all of them being in my life. Thankyou Jesus for all you've done for me and continue to do. I hope everyone has a happy and blessed Friday.

Wedding update

A few posts back I put up two pics of wedung shoes that I was looking at, while I was at the apple store gettig my computer fixed I decided to look around at some other stores. One of the shoe places had the shoes I wanted and the bonus is that they were on sale. I looooooooooove them!

So so far we have these things done for the wedding: Dress, My shoes,Cememony and reception site,Invitations bought, Invitation list, Both of our rings and Flowers. Things that still need to be done: His suit (but we already know where he is getting it from and the cost), His shoes, Decision on which wedding cake and My vei.l So so far so good, still trying to keep it simple, and not be stressed. Hope everyone is having a good Tuesday!

Questions about Etsy

I've been thinking up some designs for some summer accessories and I'm still in the planning stages but I've got some rough ideas and I'm thinking of opening an Etsy store. I look on Etsy constantly, but have yet to buy anything off the site, so let me know if you've had any experiences with Etsy (good or bad) and what you're take on how the site functions is. Your opinions are much appreciated.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week.

Wedding Dress

I'm am sooo excited people, I got my wedding dress last week and it is absolutely lovely. I am looking for veils and because my dress is simple, I think I want a mantilla veil. If you haven't seen one of these, just do a quick google search. They are beautiful lace edged veils that are exquisite. It will add just enough decoration and sparkle to my dress.

On the knitting front, I am still working on the second alpaca sox, I thought it would be to hot to finish it soon...but I forgot that I live in Michigan where it snows in April at least once every year. The first sock came out beautiful and I keep getting complements on it, I'm on the foot of the second sock so it should be done soon. I'm contemplating starting a February Lady Sweater..I've never done a sweater before but this seems to be an easy one (check out the designers blog flintknits )

Also, I'm finally getting my degree, Grad School is officially over. I finished my requirements last November but due to some shuffling of paper, I wasn't able to register to graduate until this semester. I am soooo glad to be done, but apparently I'm a perpetual student because I've already started looking at Ph.D programs. The University of Michigan Ann Arbor has a joint program in Political Science and Public Policy that is looking pretty good....we will see. For now I'm taking a break and focusing on getting married and chillin' out for the summer.

Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday!

I am soooo glad today is Friday, I just found out that my local Micheal's now carries Lion Brand Sock-Ease and I am soooo excited because now I can make a socks for under $8. Sock yarn that makes 2 socks for under $8 is crazytalk. I will be promptly leaving work and headed straight there so I can cast on some spring socks for myself.

On the Wedding front, lots to do, weddings are a lot of work and can be a lot of headache if you let them. I refuse to let my wedding be a headache. My hunny would rather just go to the justice of the peace and get it over already and spend the money on something else and I totally agree, but I am an only child and want my family to be there. So to compromise we are keeping it small, the ceremony will be open to everyone, but the reception will be family and really close friends only.

I hope everyone has a great weekend wherever you maybe!

Wedding Shoes

So far I've come across two shoes online that are real contenders for my big day:
#1


And

#2


I like them both a lot, but I think I'm leaning more towards the first pair....we will see. I love high heels and sparkly ones make it that much better. I like classic and simple. I've already found my dress and I think it will be perfect, I won't post a pic of the dress until the wedding day...it's a surprise. The big day is August 29 so lots of planning to do.
