Today was our 10th wedding anniversary, I can’t believe how quickly that went. It feels like we’ve lived such a lifetime since our wedding day, but also…it was brief.
We’re celebrating in Mexico. This month is a whirlwind, with big, exciting things happening I’m not quite ready to announce yet. But I’ve also been planning and preparing for this trip, so I really haven’t posted much. I’m working on that, but for now. This is where I’m at.
Today is a good day. May 19, 2007. These were our centerpieces.
I’ve had a really good year, and I have a really great life. Today I’m just counting my lucky stars.
I bought up every colorway of Eleanor Grosch’s Zoo Menagerie line of cotton fabric that I could find on Fabricworm’s Etsy site (this photo is of one bundle I ordered).
I knew this line was coming out in the fall, but I missed it’s actual release with the craziness of starting a new job. And I nearly missed this fabric altogether, it’s difficult to find all the patterns now. Since I’ve been a huge fan and customer of Eleanor’s going back to her Keds days (when she designed our wedding stationery), I couldn’t let that happen.
So today is officially our 2nd wedding anniversary, but it’s kind of a crazy day. Adam is flying to the UK tonight so he can be best man in our friend Paul’s wedding, so we said our goodbyes this morning. He went straight to the airport from work. I am also fighting off some kind of bug that’s had me under the weather since Sunday. I was home today after a crazy fitful night of sweating, coughing, sweating and coughing some more. You get the idea.
I love Purl and Purl Patchwork. That’s where I took my sewing class last spring, and I read their blog The Purl Bee religiously for ideas and inspiration. That’s where I got the tutorial for my Christmas Table Runner-which will get finished for next Christmas. I also love Spoonflower, who printed that sound wave fabric for me.
