Morning Sickness and Baby Hats.....

  Just kidding....had you going there didn't I????  The past few days have been very busy. Yesterday, we needed to meet with the coordinator at the church to go over details for the wedding. Then we went to look at the reception hall so I could get an idea of how to decorate, and how we wanted to arrange the tables. There is a lot of decorations to make, any volunteers wantin' help???
Then after we did all those errands we went to our future SIL's birthday party. He was 25 yesterday. Wow! I am twice as old as him :(  Where did the time go? I remember being 25, young and married and pregnant with our first daughter. Did I mention morning sickness....yuk!  Boy did I have it bad. I don't know why some women get it worse than others. With Hannah, our second I vomited the "whole" nine months sometimes twice a day. I lost wt, and the doctor was not happy about that, but when you can't keep anything down, what do you do??  Now how did I get on this subject?????

I have been doing a lot of crocheting. I had been wanting a new white scarf and I finished it last night while we were driving the hour to get to the church. Hannah agreed to model it as long as I didn't get her face. :)

It is crochet.  But you don't go back and forth like most patterns, this one you cast on 230 stitches and then go back and forth length wise. Boy it seems to take forever to get from end to end. But I really like the curling that it does, different.

Then the other crocheting I have been working on are boys newborn hats. Lindsay has like 9 friends and they are ALL having boys. I did make this one little girl hat though...just in case. This is the prettiest mauve color but it didn't show up that pretty in the picture.

I have been trying to mix up the colors for the boy hats. Little girls are so much easier to decorate. I have different flower designs, there are hearts, and fancier stitching. Little boys are kind of plain.

And the one thing I never seem to get enough made of are dish clothes. I love to give these for gifts. I had been knitting them but they take so much longer. So I decided I wanted to crochet them so I kind of came up with my own pattern. Now I can make one in an evening.

I just love this rainbow coloring. And they scrub pans so well but don't scratch. They are made with 100 % cotton yard, different than scarfs and afghans.

Getting off yarn for a while and back to the wedding. Remember all those 40 little tiny flower pots I told you I needed to decorate well this is what I did with them.

No, the Dell is not part of the design.

 First Art cut me out 40 little round circles of styrofoam. Then I glued that in the pots. Then I got some moss and glued that onto the styrofoam. Yes, I burned my fingers numerous times with the hot glue. After that I made 40 little picture holders out of floral wire. I then inserted them into the styrofoam and glued a little green leaf on the wire. Then I inserted the blue, pale yellow, or white floweres down into the moss. Hannah had wallet size pictures made of her and Dan and we are putting them on the tables so people can take them home. They are a cute idea and it didn't take me too long. I finished all the boutonnieres too. Here is one of them. I won't be able to post pictures of the bouquets as Hannah wants them to remain a secret until the wedding. Guess you will have to come back in June to see them. I think she will let me post bows though. :)

The blue color you see is darker in person. Cornflower blue is the color.

Well this has been what I have been doing the past few days. Oh and of course reading blogs and then when I am ready for bed I am reading a great book entitled Race Across Alasks, by Libby Riddles. She is the first woman to win the Alaskan Iditarod. Wow! Talk about stamina and guts she had them both. And her dogs seemed incredibly trained. She won a purse of $50,000, Tomorrow we are going to go look at a park to host at the summer of 2014. I'll let you know where and hopefully have some great pictures to share. So from Indiana...best wishes.
