WOW! I can't believe how long it has been since I have posted. Where did the time go? So much has happened, but I have to admit not a lot of crafting has been going on. I moved from Oakland to San Jose at the beginning of August and I am still adjusting to it. I love the fact I get to see my sweetie every single day, instead of just on the weekends. I don't love my THREE hour round-trip commute to SF everyday. The commute has been one of the hardest adjustments, that and not having six closets to myself. Oh, how I miss my six closets. The closet space was the biggest reason why I took my little one bedroom apartment in Oakland. I had two closets for my clothes, a coat closet, a linen/shoe closet, a purse closet and my favorite was my walk-in craft closet (with built in shelves and drawers)! Now, I have one closet. It is a decent size closet, that my sweetie gave up for me. He let me design the lay-out of the closet, because it originally only had a single bar and shelf that just wasn't the best use of space. Now it fits most of my clothes, some purses and shoes. Our little house is definitely lacking storage space, or maybe we just have to much crap. I think it is a combo of both issues!
OK, enough of my random closet rant... Now for the big news!
WE ARE ENGAGED! He proposed to me at the end of August. It was a perfect day and I will have to post about that soon. But we are planning to get married sometime next summer. I am sure I will be posting a lot about the wedding, because we plan on doing most of it ourselves. We both don't want a big expensive formal affair and the whole wedding industry makes my skin crawl (this could lead me to another rant, maybe at a later date). Anyhow, I know I will be making my own dress and that's about all I know right now. I enjoyed making Olivia's wedding dress, even if it was stressful it turned out beautifully, if I do say so myself:
Sorry for the poor quality of the image, I need to get a decent picture of Olivia's entire dress. BTW, Skip and Olivia's one year wedding anniversary is coming up on 11/11/07!
I promise I will be posting more and they won't be four months apart!
