I'm going to be a MRS.

Hello, friends!

So, nearly two months back, life as I knew it changed. All because a lovely, darling man, whom we shall call S., asked me to marry him.

My first thought (after saying 'YES!!!!!' of course), was "Oh my goodness gracious, I need to buy Martha Stewart's wedding magazine."

Not. even. kidding.

Because you see, like many fellow crafters out there, I am envious of Martha's job. Why can't I spend my day crafting, interviewing celebrities and having my own talk show?

Okay, so maybe the Hollywood part is a little tricky, but I have always wanted that one opportunity to spend my days crafting...and planning a wedding seemed like the perfect place to start, right? (Right...?!?)

So, I decided....I want to SEW everything.

Except, I don't know how to sew.

Then I decided...I want to MAKE placecards, thank you notes, and other paper goods.

And the real kicker....maybe I should EMBROIDER the numbers for the tables.

(And if you read a few posts back, I have still yet learned how to embroider.)

Needless to say, I am ambitious. Even when it comes to things I have no experience with.

I am not down and out, though. I am thinking of ways to make my Retro Homespun Wedding (Yes, I have given it a name) my own. Without going (too) crazy.

Stay posted, my friends. I plan on sharing how I asked my bridesmaids to spend this special day with me.

I don't think Bridezilla is the problem. More like Craftzilla.

xo,
J.
