Today is my 35th wedding anniversary. We were married in the church in my hometown in southeast Nebraska. No air conditioning and people thought my husband was nervous when they saw him shaking his leg. He was just trying to get the sweat to run down it a bit faster! Mine was the first of three weddings my parents planned, and since I had spent the summer in Pennsylvania working and setting up our new apartment, most things fell to my mother. My parents decided to have the reception in my hometown and that meant there was only one venue--the "supper club." Actually, this was the basement of the local pool hall/bar and had formerly been a bowling alley when my mother was a teenager. Although there wasn't a private room, my parents figured very few people other than wedding guests would be there since it was also the weekend of the county fair. Sometimes I miss life in small town Nebraska. Mostly not. Turned out they were right, but choosing that venue also meant that they...
so many times I have thought I could live with something just not quite right...that's where my eyes go immediately. I would have fixed it to (maybe)...good luck with the finishing...and beautiful finish!!

ReplyDeleteYes, it will end and it will be beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteOh no! I think I am glad I missed that meeting. If it is bothering you that much, you will be happier in the long run. My standards are so much lower! lol I still haven't started my finishing. I am 'afraid' to cut the lining fabric for fear I will mess up the measurements. I am thinking need a whole uninterrupted Saturday to take the plunge. I am curious to know what was so different. I saw Pat L. finish this week and NEVER even looked at the bottom!
ReplyDeleteSusan, I just discovered your blog. What wonderful work you do! Love the etui and can't wait to see it put together. Do you do your own finishing? Not me, I send my to Deb and let her do her magic as I am quite inept.
ReplyDeleteI was browsing thru previous entries and read your comment about finding and author and reading their books from the beginning - it's nice to find someone who does this, it makes me feel less ocd :-) I just love mystery novels! My new favorite is Vince Flynn - have you read his books?
Enjoy your week.
I wish you success with the project, whatever it is you must do with it. Oh, and one stitch at a time is the best way to go.
