In Sickness and In Health...

After spending the majority of my life with a persistent, sometimes debilitating, litany of odd symptoms, last year I self- diagnosed with intolerance to gluten. (only self-diagnosed due to lack of $$/insurance all too often) After a three or four month learning period I was finally firmly on a gluten-free diet as of March 2009. I could not have done so nearly as successfully without the support and vigilance of the man I love.

Bloglag...

Sorry i haven't posted anything in a while. Shortly after my last post i was able to try on what was intended to be the corset for my wedding gown. It was a horrible failure.

I couldn't even bear to look at or work with the material for quite a while. After about a month (and with the pressure of time starting to bear down on me!) I scrapped the pattern that i had drafted and started over from scratch.

I am happy to report that the new pattern not only works out better mathematically (yay nerdiness!!) but fits really really well. I'll be cutting the pieces for the actual corset for the actual dress and actually ordering boning for it within a week or so. YAY!!

In other news, we have seen quite a few venues at this point. I really like the last one but am concerned that i am just liking the idea that the 'searching for a venue' part of this could possibly be over.
