Planning, planning and more planning!!

Just want to say that planning a wedding is more work then you would think.  There are so many details that you never think about, like small straws for the bar...lol.  With that being said, I have been trying to work exclusively on Our Wedding by Lavender and Lace, since I have a hard deadline of October 13th (wedding day).  Here is my meager progress.  I am working on everything but the white of the dress, then will add that last.

Hope everyone had a Happy New Year.  I try and go to Portland, Oregon for New Years, we love the change of seasons from Southern California.  For those of you that have never been there is an awsome needlework store called Acorns and Threads.  So my routine for Portland is to arrive in the am get a car and head directly over to Acorns and Threads.  This time I brought with me several patterns that I have wanted to kit up.  To me it really makes a difference to be able to see the linen and play with the silks.  This was one of the highlights of my trip.

In case you have not been I thought I would post a couple of pictures.

Great restaurants....

Amazing architecture..

Beautiful knitting shops...

Wonderful city vibe...

Of course it was vacation so what is there not to like about it, but I would truly like to retire there. 

Will try and post more frequently...till next time.  Cheers!!
