Inspiring me lately:
...The Last Lecture from late professor Randy Pausch. Which reminded me of both the ‘When I Grow Up’ scrapbook project and a few exceedingly inspiring professors from my own studies.
...Ysolda’s uncanny ability to write knitting patterns that are immediately fun as soon as the yarn is on the needles. I’m working on Liesl in the mid-length, in red, for a bit of chill time else I could be awake from now until the 31st of August from energy. But this is how special it is: I. Knitted. A. Swatch. It’s shocking.
...Style Me Pretty for making me extra excited and making me think about lots of tiny little details
...And arpeggios. Because I have finished an arrangement for string quartet and now I cannot wait to hear it with four real instruments instead of computerish sounds. I actually used the skills I learned in music theory class! This is clearly why I minored in music. So I could reinvent the wheel with the explicit purpose of throwing a good party.
A warning: I have kept so much a secret so far. For seventeen months, this did not become a wedding blog. Tomorrow marks one month away.
This will totally be a wedding blog for the next thirty-one-ish days.

I LOVE this post (especially the knitting … for a sweater like liesl, swatching is just a smart first step) – and after nearly 25 years of marriage I am totally looking forward to 31 days of wedding blog :-)

I just love other people’s wedding plans – sooo exciting!
Looking forward to the blog, just remember, amidst the frantic planning, that it’s YOUR day, you are meant to enjoy it, and you’ll have many more photos than most of us, of all the stages, to look back on.
Good luck and looking forward to the pics!

Frankly, Shimelle…I can’t wait for yours to turn into a wedding blog! Mine was so deplorably tiny, that I didn’t have the chance to plan much…I love reading others’ plans!!!
Good luck, and I hope the time passes quickly!!!

I watched 27 dresses last night so I am now totally in the mindset of weddings. Mine was 30 years ago and my girls are showing no signs so it will be fun to watch yours unfold. Every happiness to you both.

le sigh ... i’m gonna call you from norway. And you ARE going to answer your phone….on your wedding day. And you can maybe even take the liberty of eating the 4 or so cupcakes i would’ve eaten had i been in the country.
I am remotely less dead now. i just feel like my head is big enough to accommodate your entire wedding party. Note to self: Don’t re-heat out of date falafel that you bought from a train station even if it seems like a good idea at the time.
