 Wedding Gift

August 22nd, 2008

Well, I will be attending my friend’s wedding this saturday. Knowing that her and her fiancee are wine lovers, I wanted to give them some nice wine glasses and something they can keep. Creating her wedding invitations, I used the motifs for the label with the couple’s name on it and added their theme color corsage. Honestly, I’m not sure why but she loves pigs, so I made a mat with a felt fabric.

Redesigning My Dress

August 19th, 2008

I had a dress from H&M that needed a remake…So, I bought a green and navy patterned fabric at Soho Purl yesterday. The bottom part is the original dress and the top part is made by me. It took me about 5 hours to finish, but I think it was worth creating from scratch.

The past few months, I have been busy with work and lost control of my weekends. I’ve realized that it was the most relaxing Sunday I have spent this year.

Thank you Gifts

June 30th, 2008

Since I had an destination wedding, many of our friends from Japan were unable to attend but still sent us gifts. To show our appreciation, we wanted to send out a heartwarming thank you gift that everybody would enjoy. Right after returning from my honeymoon, the first thing I did was to shop for the perfect gift and to create something really creative but nice. I found beautiful starfishes at West Elm and glued them on to a magnet from Michael’s. Hopefully, I will be able to send them out this week, and everyone will enjoy a little summer.

Wedding Menus

June 11th, 2008

A week until the wedding and I’ve made my final choices for the menu. I am pretty sure that everyone will enjoy the food, but just to make sure, I searched the internet for the perfect course menu. I will print the menus for both adult and children today and paste them on the gate folders sometime soon.
