Mrs. P

From now on you can call me Mrs. P :D

Our wedding day was very special and almost everything went exactly how we wanted it. The sun was shining, the birds were singing and the bells were ringing (or at least they did in my head). Our friends and family enjoyed the ceremony and the dinner afterwards. We opted for a rather simple and relaxed celebration but chose a few very special elements:

The car that drove us to the wedding place was 1937 Buick Special.

I am in love with my cobalt (or persian) blue wedding dress from Tadashi Shoji. The form of the dress makes me think of origami folding and so to keep with the slightly oriental style of the outfit I chose white orchids for flower arrangement. The bouquet is large (thanks to white long stem grass) but because it's so simple in form and color it does not steal focus and is a perfect accessory.

We had our wedding rings specially made to order. It was Titanium Knights from Etsy that made them for us and we are super happy with the service and the product. I can't prise them enough! The rings were made exactly to our specifications and they look stunning. They are of course titanium and have thin silver inlay. My ring is thinner and more feminine, whereas Mr. P wanted his to be manly and thick. I promise a better photo on one of the coming days.

And last but not least, the wedding dinner and the cake.

The wedding cake's photo speaks for itself. I absolutely love the blue roses decoration. Very artful, don't you think?

The dinner took place in Sadhu Cafe in Warsaw and if you are ever in the city, you have to check it out! The food was eclectic, coming from Polish, Indian and Italian traditions and everything was delicious. The restaurant prides itself on preparing tasty treats for vegetarians and meat eaters alike, and they surely live up to their standards.

Now it is time to edit photos, order wedding books, and slowly but surely come back to real life.

Rainy Sunday...

It's been really rainy today and the lights had to be on from 1pm because there is almost no sunlight outside. The only thing I want to do on a day like this is to roll under the covers with a good book or a movie. I feel gloom.

But today I really did my very best to stay upbeat.

- I cleaned parts of the house (Mr. P cleaned other parts)

- I did my danish homework (and discovered that my Microsoft Works experiences a fatal error every time I try to paste anything to it)

- I watched some tutorials online

- I shared my newest fimo ring with you (see picture or flickr)

- I even made strawberry-banana milkshake

And I still only want to crawl in a dark hole and forget the world. But instead I will go and sort out the chaos that is my craft studio.

The conclusion, I guess, is that either there were more sunny days when I was a kid or rain simply was another element of our games and we didn't even notice. Whaddaya think?

(Not so) lazy day

I was going to spend this day relaxing and sipping iced coffee on my parents balcony. I planned to write How-To Tuesday post but not much more. No such luck. I grabbed the brush and painted the fence in my parents' garden. I thought it would take me an hour at the most. Instead, I lost all day.
Then again, the day was nice and sunny and the neighbors very friendly. Have a look at my parents' jungle garden.



Shh...look at the local tiger at the water pond...

On the Move

Ah, finally there is time to sit down and write a little something. The past two weeks were truly chaotic and left me with overwhelming feeling of surreality. The events, although planned and executed in logical order, just don't seem real to me.

So, let's see what has happened so far:
1. Packing boxes in London
2. Shipping boxes to Aarhus
3. Closing bank accounts, paying last bills and getting flat deposit back
4. Getting on a 24h bus ride (London-Brussels-Hamburg-Aarhus)
5. Unpacking some of Peter's boxes to find necessary items (where the hell are plates?!?)
6. Attempting to legitimize my stay in Aarhus (so far I only managed to get a library card)
7. London boxes arrive
8. Unpacking some boxes to find clothes etc.
9. Marveling at the mess created...
10. Getting on a 12h train ride (Aarhus-Berlin-Warsaw)
11. Realizing how many things we forgot to take from Aarhus
12. Making cherries in chocolate for my friends hen night
13. Great hen night party!
14. Sleeping it off

And if we extend this time line to include coming Wednesday, then there is also my friends wedding to attend.

Luckily we are staying in Poland until the end of September. I've got time to relax, write on this blog, tweet and work on more craft projects that I have in mind.

Packed and Shipped

This post has (almost) nothing to do with crafting but I couldn't help myself, I had to share with you the images of our life packed in boxes.

It is the first time when I actually move all my earthly possessions. Before that it was always: pack your backpack with what you need and go. It gives me a funny tingling feeling of something new beginning in my life. (Oh my god, I'm so adult!)

And now the crafting part: I just love the tones of blue created by the wrapping foil!
