i have finished the table runners! finally finally finally. 51 table runners done and put away! thanks to Em, Shel, Mom, Dad, Sam, and Kim. seriously everyone helped. Em for sure has the record, she totals something like: 38 Ironed and 20 frayed. i could not have gotten these done without the help. seriously i would have been working on these up until the day before the wedding. they look fantastic and i can't wait to put them on the tables. so much texture, i love it.

Jordan has finished his table, if you saw what it looked like before in an earlier post... this is a 200% improvement! i love it and i can't wait to see it this weekend! my part of the bargain is that i need to make 4 place-mats before i head down.

Sewing machine, no rest yet!

happy valentine's day everyone! I ordered the save the dates last week and they came today! i couldn't believe it. they turned out exactly the way i wanted, and since they were 'free' i can't complain at all!

so as soon as i finish getting everyone's address' i'll be able to send these suckers out! the cool thing is that they are hinting at something everyone will see at the wedding.. i'm not telling what it is but i am sooo very excited about it. seriously. lets see if you even notice it. my mother says only half of the people who get them will actually notice.

jordan and i have been working on a project. his mom gave him one of their old tables and after a good stripping and sanding it's nice and new. this weekend we began staining it to a "dark walnut" its so exciting working together on a project that will soon be in our house/apartment together. the table is looking fabulous. he just finished sanding the legs and will probably stain them tonight!

the first image is what the table looked like when we got it. There is a fine layer of ash all over it making it look dull and disgusting. the second image is just after we stained it. we still need to polyurethane, but isn't it gorgeous!!!
