Why, you ask? Because I've been making a nest...
It's to hold our wedding rings instead of a ring pillow. I've made it from twigs and stuff entirely from our garden... Something to represent our home during the ceremony.
Anyway, it's finished and I am really proud of it.
And well... I still am, but last night it was out-prouded by Mr You's tie.
I finished embellishing* Mr You's tie, and it turned out SO well! We both love it, and I think it may very well be my life's masterpiece. hehehe ;)
I can't show you yet, because that may ruin the surprise. But I'll make sure we get photo's to show you afterwards.
* Note: Mr You asked me to embellish his tie. I haven't just turned into a crazed bride to be, bedazzling anything that stays still long enough.

Today is my last day here. I have yet another small list to get through (what would I do without lists), have bags to pack, another carload to fill, and tomorrow morning we're off to Mr You's parents house for the rest of the week. I'm SO relieved to see the rain has just cleared, and hoping this sun stays until after the weekend.
I am seriously excited!!! Excited and also feeling remarkably calm right now. I've finished all my craft tasks, I have a few small things to finish which I can do once I'm there (like making playlists of party music. Any requests?). But right now it all feels manageable and under control. The plan is to keep working through the lists for the next few days, and rest up because we're going to have a very big few days before the wedding setting it all up. I'll need my strength. Plus all our friends are on their way from far off places, and we're dying to see them all.
So, if you will, send good weather vibes our way for Saturday :D And we'll take it from there...
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!! SO exciting.
I may or may not have a chance to post before or after the wedding, but Chunky Chooky will be in attendance, so feel free to pester her for a debrief ;)
Oh, and we'll be honeymooning, of course. Vanuatu is the place. Relaxing is our aim.
See you on the flip side :D

Gorgeous! Now I can't wait to see the bedazzled tie.... is Cath allowed to post photos while you're away sunning it up in Vanuatu?
I love the idea of a nest. Very symbolic in so many ways. Just beautiful.
I wish you all the best for your special day and are sending the best weather I can muster.
