Wedding!

I have been a lazy, lazy blogger lately, but it's because I've been so very busy with everything else that has been going on. School, for one thing, has (as it should) been taking up a lot of my time....all of the other stuff is my own fault. I'm the one who decided that I HAD to make a gift for my cousin's wedding, which gift proceeded to suck the life out of me. ...but it turned out so cute. I can't wait until I have time to make one for myself!


Voila! A picnic blanket - complete with rock pockets, to keep it anchored on windy days. It's constructed entirely of vintage sheets, and can't you just picture Cozette crawling around (and occasionally napping) on it?

Yes, I know it is a hideous picture of myself, but you're just supposed to be looking at the quilt! (I need to introduce my husband to the zoom button.)

Recipients: Cousin Rusty and his lovely bride, Molly.


I have to admit it. I missed the wedding. We were running about twenty minutes late. The really horrible thing is that this was my cousin's second (and last - says the bride) wedding, and I missed the previous one too! (We got lost that time.) I'm a terrible, terrible relative - be grateful if you aren't related!


The reception was scenic and beautiful, the toasts were honest and heartfelt. Annika may have snuck into the cake-cutting pictures. Sofia caught her first bouquet. Nice.


...and the couple have a good sense of humor. It was National "Talk like a Pirate Day", so they handed out eye patches. All of the servers wore pirate attire.


Man, my wedding was just plain boring in comparison. ...and that's ok, because we've had a lot of good times since that day.
