Well hello there August - funny how fast the month goes when you're busy. And boy am I busy!

Actually looking over my "goals" for the month - I've almost completed all of them already!
1) Make guest list book (fabric to sign) [done]
2) Hem 4 flower girl dresses [done]
3) fix straps on bridesmaid dress [done]
4) Hem wedding dress! [done]
5) Make ring bearer pillow [done]
6) Make veil [done]
7) Make bracelets as gifts for the "mom's" - 3 [done]
8) Make some clothes for my honeymoon (dress/tank tops)
9) Start next RR
10) Knit baby shorts for coworker
11) Start baby sampler for coworker

That's pretty amazing! This month is just flying by. Everything for the wedding is ready and done (I think) - just waiting for a couple of things to arrive (like my wedding ring!). But i'm not stressed - I have a week and a half to deal with any emergencies!

I even have this weekend free to maybe sew a dress for the honeymoon - we'll see, not going to worry about it. I'm knitting away on the baby shorts for a coworker's baby for now. And in the evenings when I'm home we're practicing the Fox Trot for our first dance.

I'm so excited - Hawaii countdown!!!
