This will be the newest thing I wear on my wedding day... If I can get it finished in time, that is. It's a half-completed shawl that I'm knitting. I'm going to try to get it done on time. And if not, I'll just go without.

Much love to Jaxx, Bexx and Laura who helped with the assembling, stuffing, and stamping of invitations. They're in the mail! Phew...

I made this ring bearer pillow over the weekend for our nephew Zach to carry. The cloth is actually cloth napkins from Pier One, which I'm using for the centerpieces. The ribbon is also from the centerpieces, which I bought at M&J Trimming, and the button is a left-over from sock monkey eyes.

A friend of mine lost her beloved dog this week. Clearly she was in need of homemade chocolate chip cookies. I used some leftover Pottery Barn ribbon and new Chinese food containers for the presentation.

I started crocheting this blanket back in May, and hardly worked on it all summer. But as soon as the weather got cooler, I picked it back up and finished it just in time for our new nephew, Samuel James. Congrats to Tim's sister and her growing family.

I knitted this baby hat for a lovely co-worker who knew she was having a boy. Ear inspiration came from Cute Overload. The tiny little guy just arrived this week, so many happy congrats to the parents and new baby Finn.

While some of our friends, like Jer and KB, will be attending the actual Lollapalooza in Chi-town this weekend, Tim and I will be taking a massive roadtrip through three states, covering over 800 miles, and seeing many, many loved ones as we attend two weddings and a birthday/family reunion.

I made the t-shirt for one of this weekend's brides, my dear friend Jenna, who loved it in spite of my used of Cooper Black. She wore it proudly on her bachelorette night. (The photos of us posing like rockstars in a ladies room mirror that evening will go unblogged though!) Hoping for luck and lots of sunshine for everyone's big days.

Started this striped blanket a few nights ago for a new baby who will be arriving in November.
