I love that M loves football.\u00c2\u00a0 I am a big college football fan so I like that this is something we share.\u00c2\u00a0 However, over the weekend M noticed that the NFL Network was having a free preview weekend.\u00c2\u00a0 This meant back to back to back football.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 He even found a “highlights” channel.\u00c2\u00a0 So every 2 minutes or so the game would change.\u00c2\u00a0 I had no idea what was going on or who was playing let alone winning.\u00c2\u00a0 Sheesh!\u00c2\u00a0 We will NOT be getting that package.\u00c2\u00a0 Now tonight is Monday night football.\u00c2\u00a0 I foresee quite a few chick flicks in the near future.\u00c2\u00a0 Don’t get me wrong I like COLLEGE football but I could do without the NFL.<\/p>\n

When M vegged out to football yesterday I figured I had one of two options, go shopping and spend money that really didn’t need to be spent or see if I could work on some wedding projects.\u00c2\u00a0 Wedding projects won.\u00c2\u00a0 M mentioned that I probably needed to start working on the invitations so I set out to find a few more fonts I might like.\u00c2\u00a0 Well this lead to near disaster.\u00c2\u00a0 I went to a bad website which took out my computer :(\u00c2\u00a0 Oopsy!\u00c2\u00a0 M messed with it on and off through out the afternoon and finally got it back in working order.\u00c2\u00a0 YAY!\u00c2\u00a0 (I <3 that he will fix my computer, hehe).<\/p>\n

Since my computer was down for a while I didn’t really feel like I could work on my invitations so I decided I was going to start jeweling things.\u00c2\u00a0 I bought a hoodie from VS last weekend so I pulled that out to see how many more crystals I would need.\u00c2\u00a0 Turns out I need more then I have.\u00c2\u00a0 :)\u00c2\u00a0 But I did have enough to start working on my veil.\u00c2\u00a0 Once I figured out the tulle wouldn’t melt under the heat of the iron I was good to go.\u00c2\u00a0 I ironed the tulle to make it flat.\u00c2\u00a0 Then I started working on the pattern of the crystals.\u00c2\u00a0 I knew my veil would be pretty small so I only did 3 rows across in a staggered diamond pattern.\u00c2\u00a0 And let me just say, ironing tiny crystals onto tulle with tiny weaving is a pain in the ass.\u00c2\u00a0 It took me about 30-45 minutes to get the crystals on.\u00c2\u00a0 But in the end I’m glad I spent the time.\u00c2\u00a0 After that I tried to “sew” the top together (which is basically weaving string in and out and pulling it together) but I couldn’t really figure it out.\u00c2\u00a0 I just gathered the top and bottom edges together and then tied some string around it.\u00c2\u00a0 Worked just fine.\u00c2\u00a0 The hair flower I found to go with it had a pin and hair clip option so I pinned the veil to the flower and I can just clip it in.\u00c2\u00a0 This also makes me realize this might be why my back is in knots today.\u00c2\u00a0 Ughh.\u00c2\u00a0 Anyway here is the finished product.<\/p>\n
