the red wiseman (and some personal news!)

i finally got around to starting the next wiseman this past weekend and i took my sweet time trimming his crown/turban combo before moving on to this gown. 

next came the gift, the velvet lining on his robe and the bottom hem pattern. i'm trying to milk this for as long as possible since they're so much fun, but then i start getting into my groove and just as soon as it began, it ends! 

i might end up eating my words because there's going be a few more unexpected projects on the horizon!

still in shock!

mason and i knew for a while that we both wanted a future with one another, and that was cemented after we moved to dallas together for our new job opportunities last year. i obviously was in no rush and wanted to take my time to make sure that the right foundations were set in our relationship. so maybe the silver lining of going through a divorce at 26 is that it gives you laser focus on the qualities that you need from a partner, and the red flags that you won't ignore. i feel very lucky that we found each other, and i don't regret anything i went through, since it brought me to a better place within myself where i could truly love. we are so happy to start the next chapter of our lives together, rich with love (and needlepoint!)
