Some progress... but not a ton

Well, I didn't end up doing quite as much in December as I thought I might, since I really only took a few days off. Oh well, we did accomplish some things.

We finally got around to meeting with our caterer to talk menu and about the cutting cake. We're really excited; the cakes we tasted were delicious, and both tastings we've been to of theirs have been fantastic. The food is in good hands. They aren't called Seattle's most creative caterer for nothin'.

Let's see... what else? We started putting together the music playlist. It's got a long way to go and isn't really ordered yet... but at least we've started! Um. I bought a HD webcam for the live video streaming so that the random people who can't join us will have good quality video to watch! I also added a tab at the top as a placeholder for whenever I actually set up the account...

January should be pretty busy. I have a dress fitting and some meetings to go to... oh boy!

Six months to go

Where has the time gone??

School has been going pretty well (got a proposal mostly funded, which means I finally have a dissertation topic), and we've had a lot of visiting friends. While I love having company and being busy, it really digs into my planning time. I've hardly touched planning or crafting for the wedding in the last month. Oh well, I still have plenty of time, especially with the holidays coming up.

Hopefully we'll get things squared away with catering here soon and I'll find some time to focus on the rest of the stuff that needs to get done. I'm also looking into printing a book with photos of us and our travels together to have as a table book. I mean, the engagement photos turned out so nice... I want to have a good way to display them! Then again, it also makes me wish Cody and I were better about taking photos.

Itteh Bitteh Canvas Committeh

So! The wedding is taking place in an art gallery. We're hanging some of my paintings on the walls as decor, and I'm doing a big one (6'x4') as the 'altar'. Megan asked recently if I'd thought about centerpieces yet, so I went looking around the internet and got distracted by an art supply website.
That's when I found these:

"Itty Bitties" canvases! The easel is a whopping 5" tall, and the square dude on the right is a 3"x3" canvas. Want! Problem is... I haven't quite figured out how to turn these cute pieces of art waiting to happen into fabulous centerpieces. We're kind of steering away from flowers. Candles might be nice?

I'm sure I'll figure something out!
