So, Mr. Cardigan and I have less than 50 days until our wedding. No big deal. I’m totally calm.

Um…YEAH RIGHT.

I’m freaking out, convinced we don’t have enough time to complete everything. As a result, I’ve kicked it into wedding overdrive, and I’m knocking projects out left and right!

Here’s a quick peek at what I’ve been up to.

Our table numbers are officially 100% finished. I picked them up from Daddy Cardigan a few weeks ago (he had to finish sanding them and cutting the lines I couldn’t quite get), and I spent a few afternoons spray painting them. I think they turned out beautifully!

Remember my DIY aisle decor? Well, I’ve been hot gluing like a madwoman lately, and I’ve got all the little petals glued into flowers!

I have two giant boxes of these sitting in our extra bedroom just waiting to be finished. I’d show you a photo, but my camera is broken.

All that’s left to do on this project is glue the individual flowers into balls and attach a ribbon, but I think I’m going to save that part for when I can get some help from Sister Cardy. She’s way more talented in this area, and last time I tried to make one of the balls it didn’t turn out so well. I still think these little guys are evil, and I’m kind of terrified to try it again without some serious moral support.

So, this project will be completely finished in December, when I head out to Austin a few weeks before the wedding. Hear that, Sister Cardy? Get excited ’cause you’re totally helping me with this evil project!

And lastly, the evil craft to end all evil crafts: My napkins.

Now, before I say anything else, let me just say this. If you are thinking about making your own napkins…DON’T. Just…don’t. Really. Don’t. Do. It.

You listening? I’m telling you, it might be the best wedding advice you ever get. Especially if the last time you sewed something was in high school drama class and you don’t know the first thing about sewing. Then you REALLY shouldn’t do it. Not like I’d know anything about that…

Anyways. The stupid evil horrible napkins are finished. I’m not 100% happy with them, but maybe that’s just because of all the hell they put me through. All that matters is they’re done and I’m not going to think about them anymore.

That’s two. There are approximately 100 more of them in our extra bedroom. Evil, evil napkins.

And that’s where we are right now! I still have a to-do list that’s about a mile long and several other projects that I’m working on, but I feel pretty good about accomplishing everything that I have so far! My brain is in total wedding mode and will probably stay there for the next six weeks or so, so I’m hoping I can keep the momentum going!

Did you hit a point in planning where you felt like you were constantly working on projects? Please tell me you survived it!
