Wedding Dress Saga

I thought I had a wedding dress all picked to wear to our son's wedding. So, I made the necklace shown here. I had so much fun making the necklace. It is Cubic Zirconia, Pearls and Gold-filled wire. I made the frame from wire, hammered it and then wired all the CZs and pearls to it. It really shimmers!

But, then I had Philip take photos of me in the dress. I made a decision. Pink is definitely not my color. I knew that. But was settling for this dress anyway. It's not easy finding a dress that fits when you are almost 6 feet tall!

Thankfully, I am being rescued by my dear friend, Jennifer. She is a wonderful seamstress and has offered to make a custom fit dress for me to wear to the wedding! So, while she is doing that, I'll be designing some new jewelry. Guess I'll offer the pink one for sale.

I returned the pink dress today! I will NOT be a big pink blob!

I think you look beautiful just the same. May the Lord bless the day and this new couple as they begin life as husband and wife.
