The décor. The ceremony was performed by my pastor and friend, Paula.
The kiss…
The maid of honor, my Katie Bug…
Relief! We did it!
What every bride should wear with a formal wedding dress… pink Converse tennis shoes!
The wedding cake… to be saved for the first anniversary…
The guests had 3 flavors of cupcakes…. The cake tower was Jenn’s idea and I love how it turned out.
The families…
Now, perhaps life can settle down a bit around here…
or maybe not.
Have a wonderful week!

The wedding cake is made and decorated (only 1 small tier, thankfully).
The 3 flavors of cupcakes are baked, iced, and decorated.
Serving dishes have been washed, labeled, and packed to take.
Filling for cucumber sandwiches is made.
Condiments and trimmings for sandwiches are ready to go.
Now if the decorating fairies would just show up tonight and get that finished…
Tomorrow morning I will head out early to deliver cake, cupcakes, and finish set-up and decorating for the outdoor wedding. I am concerned the new blouse I bought to wear is going to be extremely hot in the predicted 96 degree weather, but it won’t be the first time I have sweated…however, this time I will have an audience. But then, THEY will be sweating too!
Tomorrow will be so busy, and then I plan on just crashing for several days. I even think I will boycott the kitchen and let DH throw a few meals on the table. We’ll see how that works out.
Now, off to bed for an early and very long day tomorrow.

I’m dashing out the door right now to begin decorating for daughter’s wedding. Please pardon the brevity of this post but I am sure you all understand. Next week, life will be somewhat normal (or as close to normal as it gets around here) and I promise to retrieve photos from the camera and give you a REAL update.
Kathy B. says just snippits are fine, so here you go…
I FINISHED the Farmer’s Wife quilt and it is absolutely stunning, if I do say so myself. Pics later.
I am almost done with 2 pairs of socks… Pics later.
I have finished another Basket Whip Cowl… pics later.
This week will be swamped with the making of wedding cake and cupcakes… pics later.
You get the drift! I’ll give a full report from the wedding and try to catch you up on things happening here… later.
Hugs to all! I am hoping the tulle fairies really help us out with the decorating… I’ve never been really good with those kinds of things!

Getting back to posting on the blog is sort’a like…'
1. Getting back to exercising after slacking for a while.
2. Cleaning house after you have let it go to pot around you.
3. Calling someone you have intended to talk to, but have put off so long you are embarrassed to call.
4. Doing that little thing for yourself, that you enjoy, but you are so busy “fighting fires” in your world you just keep procrastinating.
5. Feeling guilty every time you see others doing something (blogging) you know YOU should be doing.
For whatever reason(s), the blog has sat idle for months now. It’s just hard to get back in the habit, so I will have to make a “routine” to cover this. Yes, I have had lots of things I could have posted. Yes, I have wonderful pictures of events over the last 5 months that could have been shown to you (most of them still captive in my camera).
I’m trying again… please be patient with me as I try to reestablish my blogging routine.
My latest feat… finishing my Farmer’s Wife quilt (all 111 – 6” blocks)! I’m sewing the binding down now, and will hopefully be finished with it this weekend. I absolutely LOVE it! It is HUGE, so getting a good picture will be challenging but I will do the best I can.
Lots of knitting has been done in the last five months. I will try and get those pictures loaded.
Kilt construction… yes, everyone needs a camo kilt to properly participate in the “Men In Kilts” golf scramble. And DH makes such a striking figure in a kilt!
Stay tuned… in between wedding preps (for DD) and dealing with garden veggies, I promise to really give blogging a better effort in the future.
And love to all of you who have sent emails to check and be sure I am ok… I really appreciate it!
KAT
PS: You KNOW it has been too long since your last post when you have to SEARCH for the “post” button to send the latest attempt to the blog…. so sad!
