Hurrah! He's finally finished, although it took me awhile to get off my hiney and take some pictures. He looks very brave & I'm sure he's ready to save some damsels in distress ;)

Little Knight

I've been quite remiss as far as updating my blog is concerned... I'm terrible. However, I am THIS close to finishing the little knight for my shrink! He's looking very cute & I should have him finished this weekend. Now I have to decide which doll I'm going to make next. Cthulhu, I think, for my brother. I've already got the green yarn, so I should be good to go!

Knight-Time

I've got my 1st commission! My shrink wants me to make the little knight from Creepy Crochet for her grandson. How crazy is that? ;) I want to make one for my brother too (in honor of his favorite Monty Python movie The Holy Grail) so I'll get a lot of practice making amigurumi over the next few weeks...

Wedding Plans

We've got a date (October 11th.) We've got a place (Corolla, NC.) We've got venues (the beach & a beach house.) And we're going DIY all the way (well, almost... I'm hoping to find a photographer that doesn't charge a bajillion dollars!) Food, flowers, decorations, invitations; all being done by family & friends. During the constant news coverage of Jenna Bush's wedding, all I could think was, "A simple wedding?! A small wedding?! You've GOT to be kidding me!" I guess it all depends on what your definition of "small" is. Even though I'm making my own favors, wearing flip-flops and doing my own make-up, I know "small" is the last thing I'll be feeling when Bruce and I make our promises to each other.

Calla Lily

During a working visit to my future in-laws' beach house last month, I got totally hooked on making flowers. Here's how some of them turned out... (
