What a busy weekend. Friday we spent all afternoon crafting our badges and sashes. My committee was certainly willing, but I've learned to let go of any idea close to perfection. Even simple jobs like cutting around a shape seem to go awry and circles end up looking like blobs from outer space. But it's the thought that counts, right? Either that, or I (re)do them all myself.

Saturday we went to the local farmer's market for fresh produce, and I spent the morning preparing food for a picnic we attended all afternoon. Needless to say, not much else was accomplished.

I did manage to fit in a few minutes to hot glue the new black ribbon band on and the golden yellow silk flowers to the hat I am wearing to the wedding. The big decision is now whether to wear them in the front or the back - it looks great either way. I decided to wait until the rest of the outfit is complete to decide. I trimmed the ends of the black ribbon to points and left them hanging over the brim - which is fine for the flowers in the rear. However, If I turn them to the front, the black ends need to be trimmed off or tucked in. I'll post a photo soon.

Sunday we had other commitments, and a rainy, cold day left me very drowsy. After a nap, I did manage about an hour or two in my art studio laboring at the slowly progressing organization tasks.
