Beautiful Thursday / Keepsake Wedding Bouquet

Happy Thursday:
   Isn't is amazing how happy a person can be when it is a beautiful day! If it was raining I probably wouldn't have said Happy Thursday! Lol! The Good news is, it was nice and warm today.  The sun was shining most of the day, and the high was 81! The bad news is, a cold front is coming through, and it is supposed to rain tonight / tomorrow.  The temps are going to drop again for the weekend, just like last weekend. We will probably have to turn the gas fireplace back on if it gets too chilly, the highs are only supposed to be in the low 50's tomorrow. That is almost 30 degrees difference. Yikes!!

Doctor Appointment :
   My doctor appointment is at 8:40 a.m. tomorrow! Is it even daylight then? Haha! That is pretty early for us retirees. I am glad I am going in, because I found a couple of stitches they missed. I probably could take them out myself, but I's too chicken! I did manage to clean the site, and put Bacitration ointment on it, and a clean bandage this morning. I even let it get some fresh air for awhile. Will be very glad to get the pin out, even if I still can't put any weight on my foot for 2 to 3 more weeks. It was 3 weeks yesterday since my surgery. Man the time didn't fly, and I wasn't having fun either lol! Oh well, it is healing, and it will be great to have no more pain, when I'm finally allowed to walk again.

Keepsake Wedding Bouquet:
   I am making a keepsake wedding bouquet for a bridal shower gift. Katie is getting married in May, and her bridal shower is on this Sunday. Nothing like waiting until the last minute huh? I worked today on it, and I am about half way done with her bouquet. I got her Mom's corsage for the shower all done, so I am making good time! No two bouquets are ever completely the same! Even the bride's bouquet, and the bridesmaid's bouquets are a little different, even when it's for the same wedding! I have done all the flowers for 3 weddings, so far. I enjoy doing them, and I am completely self taught. Somehow, they just go together, and if I'm not happy with it ,I move the flowers around until I am. Katie is having real flowers for her wedding, so that is why I am making her a keepsake bouquet. I took care of Katie and her infant brother in my day care from the time she was 6 years old, until she was 11, and we have kept in touch all these years. She was like the Daughter I didn't have! Her brother is going to his Junior Prom this Saturday! He was only 6 weeks old when I started taking care of them. Boy, does all this make me feel old ! I am using the same types of flowers, and colors that are in her real bouquet.  They will be similar, but I use silk flowers, and other  decorative items when I make my bouquets, pearls, ribbons, gems, etc... So far, all of the ones I have made have turned out really good. I will post a picture of the corsage, and the bouquet when they are done, so you can see. I'll probably finish it up tomorrow, so I'll save that for my next post.

Next Post:
   Speaking of my next post, it is time to wrap this one up, and get it posted. Hope ya had an awesome day, safe travels where ever you may be, and are havin' FUN on your journey!  Until we meet again...
