Workday Wednesday

This is the story of my life right now. Sewing, sewing, sewing! Hmmmm. 20 years ago I never would have thought I would sew this much. Ever. I guess this is what happens when people find out you are good with a needle and thread. These are garters. Seven to be exact that I am making for an upcoming wedding. They are made out of the mother's and grandmother's wedding dresses. It's such a sweet project that I am very much enjoying. I'm contemplating sewing a small felt blue bird to the back of the bride's garter. When my mom got married, the florist attached a small glass bluebird into her bouquet. Until she passed away, she gave a "bluebird of happiness" to those getting married. Such a sweet symbol that every bride should receive. Don't you think? Hugs from the trenches--Teresa
