I am resisting the urge to post the picture I had taken last night online. The mock up of my wedding dress is very very promising. It actually looks quite elegant in calico with pen lines and revealed seams so I'm feeling quite happy and excited.
Next weekend I shall buy fabric! Lining! Thread! Zip!
To combat the happiness I had my first proper anxiety dream about the wedding: It was a mere two weeks til the wedding and we were doing a rehearsal which turned into the real thing part way through. My bridesmaids (TP and Sok, randomly) and I wanted flowers but hadn't managed to buy any, so we were running about trying to steal pohutukawa blossoms off trees.
The ceremony was to take place in the overbridge at university but a guy who looked a lot like Richard Attenborough told us it wasn't allowed and we'd have to use a foyer instead. The bus we'd organised to collect people from in town and deliver them to the wedding arrived carrying only two people which could mean either no one else was coming or everyone was bringing cars and we'd run out of parking.
When I woke up I realised I don't remember seeing Lee in the dream after the overbridge so presumably he was searching for a venue for the wedding while I was trying to figure out how to cut the branch off a tree without a saw! (The best blossoms were on thick branches).
My weekend has otherwise been restful and pleasant. I have purchased facial mask from Lush, the new Lemony Snicket book and several copies of Cleolinda's book (one for me, the rest Christmas presents). I did not buy a Midnight Dance Bratz doll even though I want one very much and they're on sale for $10 off.
I've done lots of scrapbooking and no sewing. I intend to sew a few Christmas presents and I should get started on those. I should also design our wedding invitations.
Rachel's party was very pleasant, good food which I inadvertantly stuffed myself with, great company and she seemed to like the pareu I brought back from Rarotonga for her. Hmmm. Still have two shelves free on the new old bookcase. I must be able to find something to go there!
