breaking the silence

Breaking blog radio silence is always awkward.  I’ve had ideas for posting but… I’ve also just wanted to live my life.  So every time I thought, I could post that… my laziness overwhelmed me and I went back to whatever I was doing.

So, what have I been doing, you ask?  Well… there’s this:

David and I got engaged last weekend :)  We’ve actually been planning the wedding for a few months, so there’s also been a lot of this:

Tissue paper flower sweatshop up in our living room!

Like just about every engaged lady person in the last few years, I love the trend of tissue paper pom poms and mason jars.  So when I tried my hand at some tissue paper flowers and they turned out well (so well, even David liked them!) I decided to make all the flowers for our wedding.  By hand.  For a while, it was like a tissue paper confetti explosion around our coffee table.

Seriously, my dog always had tissue paper stuck to some part of his being.  Usually his nose.  Adorable!

So now that it’s finally official, I can post stuff I’m working on for the wedding.  Which is good, because it seems to take most of my waking free time.  We’re having a small family backyard wedding in October and I’m already enjoying all the DIY opportunities it affords me.

So now that I’ve broken the silence, I’ll try to be here more often.

Oh, and PS. You can check out the wedding madness more often via my Pinterest boards.  Three people have already asked if I was engaged after watching me pin wedding ideas non stop for… a long time.  Follow me here.

    Hi Mari! Thanks for the idea about baby leggings for Joey- I got him some from etsy that are blue with little sharks on them and they are adorable! The only problem is they have trouble staying hiked up between all the kicking and thigh chubbiness. But I love them. Hope you’ll post more crafty goodness soon?
