With in the last couple weeks, I've been busy getting everything I could get done for the wedding that required my mom to help out with. :) It was crazy but we do have all the bridesmaid outfits done now and mom is going to be working on our table clothes once she has everything unpacked and settled. This last week was the week that mom left and i was busy helping her pack up what i could.
We also cleaned out our sewing room and found a project, from when my sister Elizabeth was pregnant with her daughter Madison. We finished those and gave them to Elizabeth and Madison, they were pj pants that matched, meant for Emily and Elizabeth, oh well we had four different fabrics and at least got done with two of them.
We also were able to put the different patterns together that we have bought over the years and never really all got back into their folders. We even found Elizabeth's wedding dress pattern, from 7 years ago, which we had been looking for when mom played with the idea to make my wedding dress, but had no luck then. We ended up buying another pattern but mom didn't feel confident enough to make the style of dress I wanted, because she had never made the type of dress before. So instead we bought the dress and it arrived here last Thursday. :) Mom was bummed that she wasn't able to be here and see it.
Mom left of Wednesday with dad and headed down to Utah and then made their way across the country, dad a little slower then mom. Due to his truck not working in Illinois and need to be checked out before he could continue on. They'll both be there together tonight.
On Wednesday I started working on my other sewing projects I had started and thankfully am done with them all minus one dress that needs hemmed, but my last attempt at hemming that wasn't successful so I'm taking a break on it, and considering an alternate way to hem it. I also have one dress that mom was helping me with that i finished, but when i tried it on it was a little to big so I'll have to alter it some. I'm not to worry about finishing it since it's meant as my dress i wear on the wedding day when I don't wear my actual dress.
Thursday I went to Elizabeth's and tried my dress on, and i must say I LOVE IT!!!! it's so beautiful, I fell in love with it the moment mom showed me a picture of it :) I also went out shopping with Elizabeth Thursday night for some wedding things.
Friday was a day spent in rearranging my room and clothing. Mom took my bed with her since it was the guest bed and dad would be needing a bed while he is here off and on the next couple months. It was in sorts winter cleaning getting rid of anything I didn't use or need anymore and even if I did I got rid of it if Tim and I wouldn't need it once we were married. There is still more to do and a ton to put into boxes to start the packing process. ;) I also spent time cutting out squares from scrapes of fabric. I have accumulated lots of scraps over the years from making skirts and pj pants. :) So know I'm going to make some baby quilts for what I have left, and maybe even turn out a big one but that's a little doubtful.
