Well my daughter's wedding is done. Only a few minor hitches but nothing that couldn't be overcome. We got to the Byron Colby Barn a little late to get started on the decorating but with help from the Matron of Honor and her husband plus the groom and his best friend and our son from Iowa, everything got done. We got to the salon only 5 minutes late for our appointments and we were out even earlier than we thought we would be which was a good thing because the photographer was a half hour early to the house. My poor daughter didn't get to eat any lunch until after she was all dressed and photographed. Unfortunately it then started to rain, so everyone was getting wet getting into church. It kept raining so their pictures after the ceremony that were supposed to be in the snow turned out to be just a few taken with them standing under an umbrella. Oh well! When we got to the Barn later that evening it was magical. There were candles all lit around the perimeter, the tables were set with all the shiny plates and glasses with the purple napkins. It did look beautiful. Dinner was delicious and the first dances went well. She looked so beautiful and grown-up.
The next day we celebrated Christmas with my side of the family because one sister and her husband were in from Arizona and another sister took off the whole weekend. The newlyweds stopped in for a bit but then were off to the Bears game which was a gift from the bride (a Packer fan) to her husband (a Bears fan). It was very cold, windy and snowing but they went anyway.
Finished the embroidery on Christmas stockings and the drapery panels with fringe. Now to take some time to get my Christmas sewing, baking and wrapping done. I am looking forward to the new year when I have some throw pillows and two different top treatments to make for clients.
