I got a huge deluge of kit orders (awesome! thank you!) so I am working hard to finish those as well as a really beautiful yellow/grey/white bridal bouquet that is HUGE. I also want to take some pictures of new things I am making (but I need daylight to do that, so later). Those are [...]

I’ve been cutting out so much fabric today that orange is kind of starting to look pink, and grey is starting to look brown…it’s either time for a break or my brain cells are seriously dying. Today I was driving to one of my favorite stores–a very usual stop–and I got lost and had to [...]

Hannah and Ryan are to this day two of my favorite people I have ever worked with. I admire them because they found the perfect way to balance tradition and whimsy for their Alice in Wonderland-themed temple wedding.
