She has made bracelets, earrings and necklaces for her bridesmaids; it is a joint effort to get the zipper bags done for each of them as the gift bag...
...also, she added pearls and pearl buttons to their sweaters they are wearing during the wedding. The bottom bracelet is hers, it's not done yet...but it is so pretty!
This week, she has been turning buttons into boutonnieres for the guys. She has her bouquets done....
These aren't finished. Do you see the little purple "light saber?" Jeff loves Star Wars...!
On Saturday, Larry cut the slits in the wedding announcements, yes we made those, too, my Larry is a graphic artist by trade! Lydia and her matron of honor punched snowflakes, threaded ribbon, folded, addressed and stamped envelopes-whew!- for about ten hours!
And "the dress" is still in this state as I write this:
Still more to do, and this one's on Momma's list. . .Oh, yeah. That's me.
Her bridal shower is on Saturday. One day at a time, right? Breathe deep. . . !
Hope your days are productive!
Blessings,
Pokey

Pokey...everything will be nice, and I love the hand worked love put into the wedding! Love the little bags!
ReplyDeleteI remember the days of getting ready for my daughters' weddings. Exhausting! But also exhilerating. :) blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely things are being made for the wedding! Lots of work but it will all be worth it in the end. The fabric for her dress is beautiful. Such pretty jewelry and invitations, too. You all do beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a talented group you are! Homemade weddings are so much fun and such wonderful memories of everyone working together to make something beautiful. Hope we get to see the dress.
ReplyDeleteGoodness, the creativity that runs in your family! All the prep looks lovely so far (love the pearl embellishments on the sweaters!). Wow, that's a lot of invitations to put together and address. Her dress fabric is so pretty. Can't wait to see it all come together.
ReplyDeleteWow!! So much work, but so special as you work on it together. I am looking forward to seeing the dress
ReplyDeleteEverything is beautful. YOu will be a busy girl for awhile. Relax and have fun!
ReplyDeleteWow Pokey! I am soooo impressed! You are so talented.

Lots to do for a wedding! Your daughter's colors look like what my daughter has chosen for her May 2011 wedding. I'll be praying for you, because the holidays are rambunctious enough even without a wedding. What a joyful time for you guys, though!
ReplyDeleteWow, you have been busy! Everything looks beautiful. Don't worry, you'll be fine. When the day gets here, be sure to let yourself enjoy it. You'll have some wonderful memories to treasure forever.
ReplyDeleteThis post is just chock-full of loveliness!
ReplyDeleteOh my, oh my! What beautiful things you are doing. What a full schedule you have ---and still, you took all that time to type up that detailed binding tutorial for me! Knowing all this, I feel doubly blessed. Thank you again. Blessings on all the wedding doings.
ReplyDeleteYou will be so exhausted by the wedding day it will seem like a vacation! Wow, lots of work you are doing, and saving a ton of money at the same time. What glorious memories you're making!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful creations are being made for the wedding! So much better than store bought. Nobody can accuse you of having a 'cookie cutter wedding'. These are memories that will never be forgotten.
ReplyDeleteI love everything you showed us, Pokey. Especially the bracelets and the lovely and beautiful invitations.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, a wedding -- how fun!!! It looks like you're having a great time planning and making some beautiful things!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous! I loved the workdays when my girls were getting married.
ReplyDeleteLydia is a gem; these pictures are so beautiful. Such great ideas and gifts! Thanks for sharing all this; I can't wait to see more.
WOW! How exciting!!! You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you, Pokey!
ReplyDeleteHugs.
WOW!! Lydia is just as creative and talented as you! It is just overflowing!! She (and you) has done a beautiful job on everything and how exciting to say it was all lovingly made by your own hands.
