Miss Poodle's Picture
Miss Poodle, Santiago, Chile/San Bernardino, CA Age and Occupation: 27, Industrial & Web Designer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Firefighter & Mountain Patrol Engagement Date: February 25, 2009 Wedding Date: January 2010 Venue: Mr. P's Grandparents’ Ranch About Me: I’m a Chilean girl who's crazy about nature and swimming. I enjoy carving, drawing, reading and sewing; I drool over computers, fabric, pretty paper, purple and patterns. To me, chocolate should be one of the seven wonders, right next to lemon pie. I never thought an exchange work experience program was going to change my life forever, but while working in California, I met Mr. Poodle, and ever since my days are better and brighter. We are two goofy souls that, after finding each other, couldn’t help but want to be together forever. It has being a long and sometimes hard road, since we have to deal with such a long distance between us, but we are now facing the last stage of our Fiancé Visa, and soon we will be together. You know the best part? We will be married! So I’ll be blogging from Chile until just a few months before our “green and purple” wedding.

Hold Our Cake Please?

July 23rd, 2009 @ 2:10 pm by Miss Poodle

I recently saw this cuteeee cake stand posted on Once Wed and I showed it to Mr. Poodle right away. He loved it!! And he actually wants to make one for us, so yaaayy!! I’m checking that off of my list and typing it into his hehe (evil smile).

The cool thing is that there is a tutorial that goes along with the post that I emailed to Mr. Poodle, even though I didn’t need to, because he said, “Baby, don’t worry… that’s a piece of cake.” I’m so excited to see how our cake stand ends up looking!

Is your mister helping you with your DIY projects? If so, are you just giving him the “easiest” ones? Or is he picking and choosing which projects he’s doing?

Love the cake stand! its very cute. My husband, during the days leading up to the wedding was doing pretty much everything from talking to the vendors to cake flavor tasting. I was sick so he had to take it on, but he was so excited about it that there was no need for me to even worry! :)

That’s so cute.
I’d love to do like a ring pillow with the wood and try the rings on with ribbon.

I found that link too and asked my father to make it for me- an easy way for him to be involved. or so i thought. BEWARE: those sizes and lengths of wood cut just so are pretty hard to find large enough to fit a standard wedding cake. My dad had to enlist a friend after much searching. GOOD LUCK! and good taste!

So Mr. Poodle is a crafty DIY-er, too? You’re killin’ me Poodle! lol

I basically forced Mr. Lab to make our fauxtobooth by saying it would be super manly of him. Luckily, he agreed!

1) Miss Poodle - your pictures are BEAUTIFUL! You two are such a good looking couple!
2) I sent this to my mom last night and told her to get my dad on it - and requested that he actually go cut down a tree or find one down in the woods for it!

@stickfigure710: Mr Poodle is on the search for a big enough tree, but I’m sure he’ll find one soon he lives on the woods lol
@Miss Labrador: you crack me up!! :) I love you Lab! that’s a classic way to convince our manly guys to do crafts hehe!!
@GwenMarieDC: 1) Thank you sooo much!!!! :)
2) OMG your so funny!! I can see your dad cutting down a tree for you :P Mr. Poodle is on the same task right now lol
