New Distractions

So I have been searching for more good ideas for interesting DIY projects, and I stumbled upon a doozy, which I want to start RIGHT NOW!

These are Tsumami Kanzashi, hairpins made from the Japanese art of fabric folding. Since I am half-Japanese, I think these little flowers could be great gifts to my little flowergirls, and I am sure I can think of many other uses too! So I am probably off to the fabric store tonight for some silk fabric and starch.

The other project I have been eyeing has been these adorable little knit pillows. With big needles, this could be a relatively quick project (nothing like the lace shawl I have been working on, which has made very little progress in the past month).

Inspiration!

This is my first inspiration board. Since we already decided our colors will be blue and silver, I figured it was time that I start figuring out a "look" or "feel". I don't know if this is the look or feel that I am going for, but I do enjoy the "feel" of these pictures. This is probably a little more sophisticated that we will go for though...we want the wedding to "feel" fun too!

Anyone else having trouble balancing the wedding "look" and "feel"?
