Wedding Projects

So I haven’t been doing a lot of blogging lately but I have been getting some projects done that I thought you might enjoy!

Project #1 - Pearl hair pins.

My hairdresser for the wedding thought it would be nice to have flowers or something in my hair, since my dress has pearls on it I made my own designer hair pins! All I did was put a dab of hot glue on the hair pin and then set one or more pearls in place. to cool I grabbed the closest thing to me…. don’t laugh, it worked really well I thought! :)

Project #2 – Flower girl dress.

This is my Mom, a.k.a. Master Seamstress. As I’ve been playing with hot glue she has been working very hard on the flower girl dress and it is almost finished, I’ll have to post a picture of the final product.

Project #3 – Ring bearer pillow.

Believe it or not I didn’t use one drop of hot glue for this whole project! Aren’t you proud of me? My family was because I hand stitched the ribbons in place, Mom used the sewing machine for the edges, then I stuffed it and sewed up the rest. It was a lot of fun. By the way, that is not one of our real wedding bands tied to the pillow, just a cheap, silver band I had in the jewelry box.

Project #4 – Bird seed and Tulle Circles.

This is pretty self explanatory, The thin ribbon(1/8”) we cut about 7 inches long and the wider ribbon (1/2”) is around 9 inches long. When I told Kenny that I was putting these together he asked why we were supplying our guests with ammo! 

 

This last picture is (left to right) the Unity Candle, Program basket, Mrs. Spencer’s supply basket – she is the “Day-of-wedding-coordinator” and as such she needed some supplies…Final payments and thank you’s, tape, breath mints, band aids, Tylenol, handcuffs and brass knuckles for unruly guests, etc. :) and once again the ring bearer pillow. Can you tell I like polka-dots yet?

Thankful Thursday - My Job

I think I’ve mentioned before that I have the greatest job in the world! God really worked everything out for me to get this job. When I was in Cosmetology school the chemicals(perms, color, hairspray, etc.) started giving me headaches. I remember telling my Mom that I loved just cutting hair and I would probably look for a shop where I could do just that. I think it was about a month before I graduated that Jeff and Lisa Enloe called my school looking for a girl, getting ready to graduate, that wanted a job just cutting hair. I told you God worked everything out for me! As of today (May 12) I have been working for the Enloe’s for 5 years and wow has time flown!

 

These are from the Spindale shop where I’m working at now.

This is the Forest City shop, Plaza Barber Shop

I gave one of my nephew’s his first haircut here. That’s my Mom holding him as they wait for me to finish with another client.

I’ve met a lot of interesting people through my job, and learned a lot of different things from these people as well!

Did you know that God only made a few perfect heads? The rest he put hair on!

The difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut - 10 days

I’ve met some of my best friends here. I wrote a little bit about Amanda

here recently though we have decided that we are sisters that were separated as children, we just have so much in common! Amanda has taught me a lot too, like its ok to be blonde and smart! lol (she’ll get me later for that one!)

Amanda is not the only friend I’ve made at work there’s Christy, Kim, Chastity, Lisa, Cassie, Mechelle, Alicia, Judy, Lindsey, and Rebekah, she’s just the only one I have a picture of!

This job has just been an amazing experience, I can honestly say that I look forward to going to work, that I love my job. So thanks to all of my co-workers, bosses, and clients for making these past 5 years a pleasure!
