Time for something exiciting! A friend of mine, Sara, is getting married in a month!

She approached me to help craft the Ring Bearer pillow for the wedding. I was very exited by the challenge. The colors for the wedding are green apple and coffee bean brown.

On Thursday, Sara dropped off the materials she favored:

We both dig the brocade fabric. Thinking about doing a 12-14 inch pillow with piping in the dark brown. Possibly embellishing the flowers with crewel or embroidery. I’m going to ruminate on it for a few days and see what comes to me. One of the coolest parts about this whole challenge is that I’ll be using the sewing machine that our mutual friend Sarah got Tyrone and I for a wedding gift (hahah). So in a way, the gift is also a gift for Sara’s wedding.

This challenge makes me want to have “odyssey of the mind” craft challenge with my girlfriends one night:
“you have two toilet paper rolls, 5 used (but clean) socks, some yarn, and some floral wire…make the coolest lampshade you can.” You get the picture. hahaha.
