Getting Things Done! --- 23 days

That sounds a lot more productive than it actually is. Mostly I've made appointments: tanning, make up trial, dress fitting, chiro, dentist ( those last two are not directly wedding related but I am trying to get the most of my parents medical benefits while I still can) and I'm sure I am missing some other ones, but it seems there is something almost everyday. Exciting and Exhausting.

Last I left you was the night before I had a bridal shower. The women were so generous, there were about 15 of us there, and many women who were unable to make it sent gifts. Aaron and I really appreciate their thoughtfulness as we could never afford to start out our life together with such amazing things for our kitchen (not that our wedding/marriage is about the things, but they sure do and some "glamour" to our very un-glamorous student lifestyle).
Here is a picture of the gifts spread out after I got home:

Favourite shower gift to give:

Tea-towels, we will have new tea towels for many years into our marriage. If I am lucky Aaron will get lots of use out of them.
Most interesting gift goes to my grandma (although the idea did come from my aunt). She bought us a cake pan, printed out a recipe, bought the ingredients for the recipe and wrapped them all up together:

This was so great for us, as we didn't have any groceries before the shower and this gift gave us some essentials like salt and baking soda in a creative way.

Tonight marks the beginning of Aaron's bach party, he won't be back until Saturday afternoon. I probably should have used the time to work out some wedding details ( we are running out of time fast), but instead I sewed some more cushion covers (equally good use of my time?) Here are the completed ones so far (I have 3 more to do):

The yellow one is the one that I mentioned in my previous post, and the other three I made tonight. I certainly have gotten faster since that first one, but I'm not sure my skill has improved. I realize this is not a good picture, but I was taking the picture in my room and they really don't look good in there. The purpose of the picture was to show you the fabrics, and when we move into our new place I will show you them on the couch where they belong.

Happy Canada Day long weekend !
