Where does the time go. I can't believe it is November. We are deep into wedding plans and now it is time to put that up for awhile and get ready for the seasonal holidays of Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'm not sure where we are going to put "Christmas" since our home right now looks like wedding central!!
Planning for a wedding is so much fun. Alot of work, but alot of fun. I'm enjoying the side of being the mother of the bride. Of course, being a stitcher, I'm having a blast making all the things that the bride and groom want made. Pew decorations, quilt for signing (rather than a
guestbook - isn't that a great idea!), table runners for the tables, jackets for the mob and gmob because the bridal store discontinued our colors!!!, wedding sampler, etc. I felt alittle emotional when I stitched their names and dates into the sampler!! Are they old enough, are the responsible enough, can they afford this, - you know, all the thoughts that would go through a mothers head at a time like this.
The laterns for centerpieces are done, my dress is hanging on a closet door, her dress is hanging in my room, grandmoms dress just came, the engagement party has happened - I think we are pretty much on target.
Now, Christmas. We have to get all this put away and get started. The Christmas table is going to have a snowman theme this year - snowflakes and snowmen will abound. So, can I get myself into the groove? Can I remove myself from wedding mode? Probably NOT!! Christmas will be fun but will definately have "there's a wedding happening in this family!" overtone to everything we do!! So, will we do red and green or just plain white!! Maybe I have the perfect theme for this Christmas!!
