Not Craft Related: I'm Married!

I've been a bit absent around the Internets lately, and that's because I got married this past Saturday (1.21.12)! We just got back from our honeymoon, and I'll be posting a few color-inspiring photos from our trip soon. In the meantime, if you're interested, you can head over to our photographers' blog and check out the selection of photos they posted from our wedding!

I expected there to be a lot more crafting with the wedding, but time got the best of me. I made all of the bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres from scratch out of fabric, ribbon, and lace, and hopefully I'll get some detail shots of those up soon.

Not so much craft, but my mom also designed our wedding invitations and labels for the dessert table.

It's been a crazy week, but I'm back and ready to get back to yarn at full speed!

My Finished Tank Top and Engagement Photos.

I got my engagement photos back yesterday from my friend Amanda Michael, and I am so excited about them! I wore my Make Up Your Mind tank from this summer's Knitty for a few of them.

If you're familiar with the pattern, you might notice that I added a band of double crochet on the bottom. I ended up making this a bit too short and wanted some more length. Actually, after wearing it once I might go back and crochet even more onto it. I prefer my tops to be a bit longer.

 

I really enjoyed the pattern and would highly recommend it. You definitely would have to wear something under it like another tank top, or wear it over a swimsuit at the beach.

Not related to anything crafty, but Amanda took these great photos of the cats. I keep laughing at this one of Augustus:

Othello ran into one of his hiding spots, so Amanda took photos of him in there.

I ended up not getting a whole lot accomplished yesterday, and I didn't even touch my knitting. I hope to be more productive today.

And because I can, here's some more random engagement photos:
