Guess what I picked up in Virginia a couple weeks ago?

Zooming out…

Check out our lovely bands from Quest Fine Jewelers! My wedding band was custom-made to match my engagement ring, and the Mr went with a comfort-fit, euro-shank design in palladium. We likey a lot!

Inching out a bit further…

And what’s that horrendous fraying thing they’re sitting on.. why that’s our ghetto-fabulous ring pillow!

After seeing the incredible craftiness of the oh-so-fabulous Mrs/Mama Perfume and our uber-talented Miss Mascara, I was inspired to take on this project. Forget the fact that I have yet to find a ring boy or flower girl. I wanted the pillow. And another distraction.

Want some more evidence of the ghetto-ness? Sure thing!

Mr Piglet, on the other hand, LOVED it. I didn’t have the heart to show him pictures of the others’ creations. Especially… ESPECIALLY… the craftiness of our talented Miss Beagle. I just sat there and soaked up his adoring words.

I have some leftover fabric in case I decide to give it another whirl. But being a little more than a month out, we can’t afford to spend too much time on any one project. So for now, that’ll do pig. That’ll do.

Did you, or are you forcing yourself to be happy with your sub-par projects in the interest of time?

I like it! I sure couldn’t do any better, and no ones going to notice if it’s frayed or anything.

After reading Mrs. Perfume’s post about that style of pillow, I’ve been aspiring to make the same thing! I think you’re looks great - if mine looks half as good as that, I’ll be excited!

Oh, and as far as accepting sub-par projects goes? That sentiment describes my entire invitation project.

the frays don’t look too bad. if you’re really worried, just come in with a pair of sharp scissors and snip away any frays that look off.

maybe i’m not seeing its ugliness…i think it looks great. it looks like you could just brush the frayed pieces away and snip the long ones off the flowers.

i think you did an awesome job!

I love the rings and pillow. I have not a crafty bone in my body and I give that task to my MOH. Great job Miss Piglet!

Girrrrllll, I love it! And I’ll tell you what readers have told me: Fray Check! Just trim the frayed edges and add a little bit of the stuff, and done. You can get it at Michael’s.

I love you rings!!!

Aww, I think the pillow is adorable! I mean, it obviously can’t live up to the awesomeness that is you invitation suite–but really, what could?

Trust me when I say your project doesn’t QUITE qualify as ghetto-fabulous. Just trim the frayed edges and you’re good to go!

Miss Piglet - I don’t think it is quite as ghetto as you think! I LOVE it
P.S. I also love, “that’ll do pig, that’ll do” I say that to my sister all the time.
