Help Me Please!

Okey dokey friends. I need your help. For those of you who watch TV, tonight on NBC, a new show starts. It's called...the picture is a dead give away... Save Me and stars Anne Heche. I need you all to watch this show because my incredibly talented sister is the head make up artist and I'd really like for this show to be a HUGE success.  Thank you for your support!

Blooming Dahlia

Well, I can happily say the the Dahlia is going MUCH better now.  Not only am I no longer pulling my hair out, but I'm learning some new techniques.

I've learned how to do a provisional crochet cast on. Admittedly, this wasn't too difficult since I learned how to crochet before I figured out knitting. Pulling that chain out is scaring the bejesus out of me.

That green line there is where a sleeve will go....this is another green string that I'm going to have to pull out and it freaks me out as well....we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

But this....this is the coolest thing of all. The piece de resistance....the blooming dahlia.

Is it wrong to be this pleased with one's self? Seriously, I was so thrilled when I finished that bit right there. Now I'm on to endless amounts of stockinette....yawn. To bad I wasn't able to do the boring part first. I will admit, since I now understand the construction of this thing, it's actually a bit ingenious.  

We'll see how quickly I can get this puppy finished. Keep your fingers crossed and if, at any point in the next couple of weeks, you hear an anguished cry....I've pulled out one of those green strings and it was an epic fail. I hope not.

Sparkle's Day

Have you ever gone to a wedding and it's just been perfect? The perfect couple. The perfect location. The perfect friends. We had that this past weekend when our Biscuit Sparkle (aka Chelsey) and her man Chase tied the knot. I was so honored to be a part of this event.

The Wedding was at Sparkle's parent's house.  We were all a bit worried because it had been raining off and on all day.  The ceremony was to start at 6:00 p.m. At 5:55, the clouds cleared up and the sun started shining brightly.  It was better than a scene out of any romantic movie.

Everything was so sweet and family oriented.  The Groom's daughter was the flower girl and his son was the ring bearer. His grandfather was the best man.  Sparkle's sister was the matron of honor and her future new sister-in-law, her cousin and our very own biscuit Mel were bride's maids.The whole event was very much like a fairy tale....complete with Cinderella's shoes.

After the ceremony, well, it was time to party with tons of Southern Barbeque and cake.

 Red Velvet Cake....Yum!

And since it was a Biscuit wedding, the Biscuits were there in full force...all dressed up, but not too classy ;)

And here's our best angle...just saying...

I do love these girls!

Seriously though, the wedding was beautiful and I hope that Sparkle has a wonderful life with her new family.
