Sewing recuperation

I still haven't sewn ANYTHING since finishing the blue satin evening coat for the wedding! I think my dress + the coat + my sister's dress + 2 flower girl dresses just did me in. ;) So instead I'll distract you with lots of pictures of random things.

Last night we had some fantastic seats for the fireworks as my sailor's ship turned their July 4 mission into a dependents cruise as well.

Finally, the big show!

And my niece Kate turned eight years old - wow!

Babycakes

We went to Babycakes in NYC for some gluten free cupcakes. She was so excited to be at a bakery where she could pick out whatever she wants - celiac is hard on kids, she understands she can't eat a lot of things, but that's tough to deal with as a small child. Babycakes is almost entirely gluten free (they do a few things with spelt flour), so she quite enjoyed being able to get a bakery red velvet cupcake.

And finally, we got a few pictures back from our wedding photographer!

Your wedding looks like it was absolutely amazing. And your wedding dress is a dream. I wanted to make my wedding dress, but didn't have the courage. Great job. I love your blog:)
