Another wedding, one year later! This bride wanted red, white, and blue, “but not too patriotic” and that she got. Mara and I tag-teamed the invitations. She wanted the centerpieces and bouquet just like Mara’s, and I was so practiced at making kusudama flowers that I could do them with my eyes closed. (I didn’t know that they weren’t actual origami which uses no glue.) I had gotten so much better at it than when I did Mara’s that I was sorry I couldn’t have done a better job on hers. Mara and I made the centerpieces together, since she has become an expert at rosettes and pinwheels. The bouquet is pictured here, and the favor cover (a mix CD of their favorite songs) as well, with custom wording.
I’m so grateful that the favors were inedible because I am powerless over Hershey nuggets, as demonstrated by having to buy twice as many for my daughter’s favors as were actually used. You know why.
I LOVE papercrafting. I get so caught up in knitting and crocheting, though, that I forget that I have a whole room in the basement equipped for making cards until I die. And it’s cool down there when my husband (controller of indoor weather) says it’s not hot enough for the air conditioner. Of course it’s cold enough in the winter that I need two space heaters blowing directly on me to keep my hands and feet from going numb, no matter the thermostat setting. Old house quirks.
And old person quirks, too. Getting quirkier by the day.
By the way, if you'd like to learn how to make these flowers (easy as pie, no joke), here is the link to an instructional video.
