Last week I was so busy and now that my co-worker is back I thought things would calm down but apparently he plans to spend the next 2 weeks doing the least amount of work possible. One of two things will happen, I will completely unload on his slack-ass OR I will tell my manager. Yes the second option is a little middle schoolish but I’m scared the first option might lead to death, his not mine.
Anyway, since I am doing ALL the work at work, it leaves little time for blogging at work! Ironic I know. At lunch today I decided I needed a few more DIY supplies. And well I wanted to get out of the office for a few minutes. I went to Michaels and picked up some E-6000 glue, pink craft paint, a wooden E, and some paint brushes. Currently I have several DIY projects in the works but I didn’t actually have everything I needed to complete any of them. I needed the E-6000 to hold the ribbon on my flip flops. I also needed it to attached the wire in my hangers. Let me just say, when the box says “Well Ventilated area” they were NOT kidding. My little headache has turned into a larger headache. Oh well, it’s the price I pay for AMAZING flip flops. Okay, technically I only have one almost finished. But now I know what I’m doing and where this is going. I think they are going to look great. I just need to add a few jewels down the sides and I should be sparkly, under my dress. 🙂
I was also lucky enough to grab the last big wooden E Michaels had. I want to make a personalized cake topper. Since our wedding package will be very run of the mill I am trying to find small things, that will fit in my suitcase, that I can take to St. Lucia. Wedding cake topper seemed like a very simple, easy and small item. I bought the E, grabbed some hot pink craft paint and brushes and I was set, for now. I got one side painted tonight and I will do the other side tomorrow. I also want to put jewels on the whole thing. I think this should take several hundred jewels and maybe a few years off my life but hopefully it will be worth it.
I guess I should list out the DIY projects I am working on or want to work on: Monogram hangers – almost done, cake topper – in progress, wedding flip flops – near completion, bridal hoodie – want to do, I DO undies – want to do, plus my Save the Dates and my invitations. I feel like I am missing a few things. Eh.
Also, my Save the Dates are one step closer to completion. A good friend of M and mine has offered to take a few pics of us. I told him we weren’t looking for engagement pics, just a few up close ones of the two of us. We are going to meet him downtown this weekend and hopefully by next week I will have a proof and they will be ready for print. For now things are coming along pretty nicely. Plus having crafts to do after work keeps me from drinking. 🙂
Here is a teaser of the flip flops.
