Oops... I did it again...

I don't even know the last time I made a post. How embarrassing. Nic and I haven't been incredibly busy- but the weather is getting nice, so we've been enjoying Spring. Leaves me with less time to make things, although when I'm in the apartment I can't bring myself to be productive for the blog because inspiration has been lacking.

Luckily, I had a good excuse to make something. Today was the wedding of one of our co-workers, John. Nic and I have been working with him for about a year. The ceremony was nice- happy looking families getting together+ happy looking coworkers celebrating too! To celebrate the wedding, I decided to make a hair clip for myself to wear to the wedding:


This is Nic's face for: "Really Deb, this one took you too long to make." Which it did. I started with felt material to make this, then realized that since I had to sew it together, felt was too thick. Then I went to
satin-y material, only to have it all fall apart. Ended up with thick, gauzy ribbon. Voila! The panda behind Nic says, "hi!"

Strangely, although Nic took about 150 pics of the wedding, none were of us together. Dear friends that went to the wedding, HELP! Do you have any pics of us we can share?

Nic's tid-bits:

I went camera crazy this weekend. Debra has a new DSLR camera she bought to help out with her shop (probably helped) but I just like taking pictures of stuff. I don't like taking pictures of people who know they're getting their picture taken though, so people were giving me exasperated looks through the wedding.



It was a very nice wedding though, and for every 20 pictures I managed to get, 1 would actually be good. Bride and groom were lovely, and very very busy.



The day before on Saturday Debra was in town waiting for me when she turned around and saw this guy:
Handsome?

This is Jordan; he and his wife Bethany are our newest co teachers at work. They were in Itaewon with another of our co workers in town and we said hi to them while we ate our Cinco de Mayo Mexican food. We met up later for drinks as well. Nice to see them enjoying "our" neck of the woods.

Debra's flower did actually take a while to make, she cut up one of my (old) shirts for no reason, kept us up late, kicked me off the computer, and missed yoga in the morning to top it all off. But, it came out very well so I'm happy and supportive.

Debra is having difficulty stocking her store with stuff, so hopefully once that's ironed out we'll get some more posts.

Stay Classy!
