Wedding garters!!

If you have been visiting (HEY..thanks by the way) then you already know that one of my nieces is getting married in 16 days. (that's counting today...I never am quiet sure how to do that...it's 12-15-12) You also know that I did a pencil/pen drawing of her and the lucky guy on vellum to lay over one of their wedding invitations as a wedding gift. I still have to get a frame for it and probably will when I go buy that garland and those crystal balls. ^_^

I also promised to make her wedding garters for her. I finished them today and I so hope she likes the  shabby chic fabric roses because that's what she got....or is getting...how ever you want to say it. HEHE

This will be the one that she keeps. I wish the photo had come out better but it's really getting dark here due to clouds moving in that apparently are going to be bringing rain in that the weatherperson so did not even warn us about.  HA!! It will wait and the bottom will drop out in about 40 minutes. That's the time school gets out and I walk up and get the Chazman. Thank goodness we like to "dance" in the rain. ^_^   Now..what WAS I talking about....oh yes....garters....I used sheer white linen to make the fabric roses and used pearls and tiny glass beads along with a Swarvorski crystal to make the leaves.. The middle flower has a blue crystal to represent "Something Blue". My muse wanted me to add a bit of  faerie to it as well so I used a tiny silver dragonfly. Sooooo hope she loves it!!

Now here's the one that the lucky guy will be throwing...tossing....flipping....whatever it is they do with the garter after the wedding. At least I hope he throws, tosses or flips THIS one. I did one single rose for this one that matches the roses on the first one.

Now...on to the next project...trying to finish Santa and Li'l Miss LuLu ^_^

Until next times....HUGS,

Busy Busy Busy!!

I hope that everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!! I know that we did. It's always fun to go visit family but it's always good to come back home too. The Chazman was feeling a bit under the weather yesterday and claimed this morning that he was coming home from school, eating a snack, doing his homework and going to bed. HA!!! Like that will EVER happen. What WILL happen is that he WILL come in and get a snack and he WILL do his homework but instead of going to bed he WILL play a PS3 game. That's what will happen...I can gairruntee it!! (yes yes I know I spelled guarantee wrong...you have to say it like it's spelled then it will sound like Troy from Swamp people..hehe)

I have been doing laundry and working on....Can you guess what? Yes a Santa. How in the world did ya know? HAHA  It feels like I have been working on these forever but that's alright...I really like it!! It's nice taking a break here and there from working on them. Today the break time is laundry and tomorrow it will be putting up our Christmas decorations. That might turn into a very longgg break..hehe!!

So...here's my messy table filled with SANTA..hehe

Until next time..........Hugs,

Psssttt.....I have been working on a pencil/pen drawing too. I need to practice on human characters but I think my niece will like this. She is getting married Dec 15th and sent me two invitations instead of one, so I figured she was "hinting" at me. ^_^  I did the drawing on vellum and I placed it over the invitation. Do you think she will like it? I pulled up a photo of them and then started drawing. I hope so but shhhhhhhhhh....she NEVER reads my blog so I don't know why I'm shhhushing you but just in case...Don't tell..it's a secret!!

Don't they make the cutest couple? YES, they do is your answer..hehe
