Up and Coming Projects

As I was in search of a DIY or two, I thought I should update with my "to do" list of up and coming projects (and tutorials).

0.5: Complete bouqets and bouts. They have been sitting on the desk for a LONG time now.
1: Complete wine glasses (99.9% there!)

2. Make necklace and earrings for bridesmaids that look something like this...
Off to the side?
Or perhaps this...
The way this is done you can make it longer or shorter by pulling the gem down through the orchid.
Or even this....
A little busier, but still a possibility.

I bought 6 of the three sets of orchids and 10 single orchids, so the possibilities right now are endless, which I love! I also bought some cute gems for the ends of the necklace. Seeing as creating my own bridal necklace and bracelet was the first I've gotten into real jewellery making, I am hoping and praying for this task.

3. I want to do an escort board that looks like this:
How much fun are those magnets? Seriously?!
But in my own way. I have already made 50 buttons that are multicoloured and fun, but have had NO luck finding an intricate and fun frame for under $30, and I'm cheap! I am hoping that by scouring more garage sales, something will eventually turn up.

4. Make a bunting for our card box. In case you haven't seen it, our card box is AWESOME. Mr. Sunshine and I found it at an antique place near us. It is an old Canada Post mail box that is all rusted out and shitnat. Just need a sign so people know what to do for it!
Isn't it just awesome!?
5. Figure out the rest of our centre pieces and do a mock up using the grasses I just bought and am forcing Mr. Sunshine to look after.

6. Design and create Thank You cards with help from my lovely sister.

7. Print and assemble our wedding tree so guests can sign their name.

8. Create a few floral displays to put in the vases we have bought and perhaps a throw away bouquet, but not sure on that one yet.


Any tips or advice for what needs to be done in, now, just over 2 months. *breathe Miss Sunshine! Just BREATHE!*

    1. am hunting down my etsy purchase since it has been WEEKS, but I am really wanting to start that necklace! The mailbox was an amazing antique store find that cost wayyyyyy too much money. One day Mr. Sunshine and I hope to use it as an actual mailbox, though.
