Digging up old photos Part 3

These were taken on the day of the wedding at the temple and at the reception~

STOCKINGS!

I had a  heck-of-a-fun time making these stockings!
Tayva informed me of her cute stockings her mother made for the whole fam, and that she was going to make one herself (for her future husband and children? hehe). I'M IN!!!!!
I'm really not much of a sewer. sure, I can sew a straight line, and I've made pajama pants here and there... but other than that? yeah, not much. But I felt adventurous (and didn't want to spend $15+ for a good CUTE per stocking at Target etc.)...

I bought the double-quilted fabric at JoAnns: one side = snowflakes, other side = candy cane stripes
ON SALE for $12.00 per yard. Only needed 1 yd. for making 2 stockings! :)

So Tayva's mother made her stockings without a pattern. without a pattern. WITHOUT A PATTERN.
so we made ours... you got it... without a pattern.

It was so much fun!... but SO much work! took me... hmm... hours. But it's done~

Our friend Tami Larsen stitched the names on our stockings! Aren't they cute? Ask me how big her stitching machine is. go on. "mmmhmmm... yes, well, her machine is as big as a refrigerator!"

there you go.

Party After Christmas!

Totally going to have one... our 1st Christmas Party! :)
Here's the invite that I made... sorry for whomever reading this who didn't get invited... our small apartment holds only so many people... :(
you will ALL be invited when we're rich enough to buy a house! haha

It was quite the challenge editing and creating this invite... WISH I HAD PHOTOSHOP!

I guess these aren't THAT old, but as I was cleaning up my computer, I stumbled upon my wedding pictures~ :)
I wanted to showcase some of my favorites... I'll post them in "parts" so it's not super duper long with endless pictures. ha

This set of pictures was taken about a week before the wedding at the temple... enjoy~ (edited by me)

 

 

Love Free Stuff

We recently got a new (to an extent) couch from my cousin!

It is super cute and I just love it~

So what IF my living room color scheme is earth tones (browns and greens) and the new couch is black and white!? Who's to say browns and blacks don't go together?

Here's a picture of what it looks like (gotta love IKEA):
