10:15 On a Saturday Night...

And the tap goes drip drip drip drip drip drip

Okay, so it's acutally 11:20 on a SUNDAY night - but if you get the reference, then holla! You totally get me.

So today at the farm I picked a black sunflower for me and one for Heather. Both of which quickly wilted in the hot car on the way home. When I got home I cut the stem, trimmed the leaves and put it in fresh water. It stayed wilted, so I put it facing a sunny window and forgot about it. Just a few minutes ago I walked by and it looks like this (except in the dark before I turned the light on):

Notice it's no longer wilted AND no longer FACING THE WINDOW. The flower turned itself around. FREAKY! Sometimes plants totally bug me out.

This weekend has been a mellow one - time to catch up on the final wedding details. More in the extended entry if you can stomach it.

Okay so here's a picture of some of my work this weekend. I made a ring bearer's pillow and flower girl basket. Both of which don't make me wanna puke - unlike the premade ones in the craft store. Yay.

Complete with fake rings.

Here is the halo for Jessica - all done:

Weird shot of my arm.

And the table number picture frames I was talking about:

In "Metallic Champagne," "Metallic Copper," and "Antique Gold"

Oh so many crafts. We also worked on the seating chart - which is a fiasco b/c we haven't heard back from everyone yet - so there's some mystery to it. Chris also got fitted for his tux, as did my dad who, while trying on his jacket, asked my sister if the tux came with a stick...You know, to fight off the ladies.

By the way I know I should be putting this on my wedding blog - and I was going to - but Wordpress is totally bugging out on me and won't let me publish anything. Bizarre.

Wow, will you make my ring bearer pillow & flower girl basket someday if I ever get married? You're amazing.

And that flower is freaking me out! I'm thinking it's possessed.

The Cure! YAY!

Um, sunflowers are FREAAAAAKKKKKY. The whole turning toward the light thing scares the shit outta me.

Your wedding crafts are SO pretty. I love the autumn colors, they look so rich together.
