Home Sweet Home

Simon and i are back in Philly. We returned after a long drive last night and unlike him I am still off for a few more days. This means I am doing what I love the most, eating brunch with one of my best friends and knitting as well as test dying. That was also something very exciting, when we returned my yarn I had ordered was waiting for me on our door mat.

Visiting home was nice, my Aunt Colleen came over for thanksgiving from long island with her husband Eric. It was good to see them. My mom, Aunt and step grandmother took me wedding dress shopping while I was home. I wasn't expecting to find anything but just to have fun trying on tons of pretty dresses all way over my price limit. But it happened I found the dress, It's beautiful and not overly expensive. (It was even on sale which we didn't know till we went up to order it.)

I know Simon snoops so I can't post a pic nor can I really describe it. It is nothing like what I thought I would wear, but it is beautiful.

Well that is all for today, I must go and turn on the dye pot to start some experimenting.

White Wedding

First off I've read "Offbeat Bride" and not only have I read "The Anti Bride Guide" but I own the Anti Bride wedding planner, as well as loving color and deciding on a fall wedding in upstate NY, I feel compelled if by some wedding demon to have a white dress for my wedding day. My mother has already made some comments about my want of wearing white. I find them odd as I'm sure no one who is coming to our wedding is really going to be offended that Simon and I have been "living in sin" for over a year and i am wearing white. So in honor of the white wedding dress I've been scouring Etsy for inspiration and here it is. A white wedding day collection of hand made and vintage dresses.
