Hello?  Heeelllloooo?  Anybody there?

I know I have been away a long time but we're back on track!

So let's start things off with some FO's!

DSCN4201 Jean Genie Skirt.  My favourite skirt so far!  And thrifty!  Made from a pair of jeans given to me that were too short.

DSCN4204 Another Clapotis!  In yummy Noro Silk Garden Sock yarn!  Everytime I've worn it I've gotten a compliment on it!  Wow!  I see more of these in my future!

DSCN4198 Okay, technically not an FO but still freaking awesome!  A new couch!!!!!!  And ottoman with storage!  You can tell I love it because I moved into the one side there.  So wonderful!  It's going to take a couple years to pay off but worth every cent!

Just a little snippet from the wedding day. I had wrapped up my tulle skirt to avoid any Monkey-shines!

Wow! What a week!
I have so much to share but will break it up over a few days so as not to overwhelm.
It's official!  We're married!

Had a wonderful week with Terri here!  So grateful she could come share in the experience!

She really brings out the goofball in me and I had to share some of her candid photos.

Okay, so I know I said I was making my outfit for the wedding.  And I would have been done by now if the pattern company I bought the pattern from had a better technical editor.  As well as a better drafter.  So my Plan A didn't go as planned so I went to plan B. 
Plan B was a different vintage jacket and the skirt from the Plan A pattern (my thinking you can't mess up a skirt pattern that much, turns out that I can!)  After completing the skirt I decided it wasn't quite right, and too short besides.  So enter Plan C.
Plan C was to go buy a dress.  Lucky for me not 5 blocks from my house is a liquidation store that happens to have wedding gowns!  And so voila!
Plan C!
