Oh For the Love of DIY

So, anyone that knows me (closely) knows that I am DIYer to my core. I'm talking all the way to my DNA. Not because I'm too cheap, but because I get so much satisfaction when I see something that I made. It's a high, but a safe one, and one that lasts longer than any other! ;)

This weekend was no exception on the DIY front. I finished 2 very large (time consuming) wedding projects over the weekend and I'm thrilled! Just as excited to see them done as I was to start them. Simply because they felt never ending. Those who know me also know that I am not great with decision when given too many options. I freeze up and it never gets completed. But these projects, they came with another layer of excitement as they will make their debut at my wedding this June!

Here's the long awaited chandeliers, countem...one aaaaand 2! Yep, the sweetie let me err gave me permission umm highly encouraged another chandy once the first was completed! The second was my creation nearly from scratch! I'm so lucky right? ;) Love you, babe! hehe What in the world am I gonna do with all these chandy's when the wedding is over?! :)

Their temporary home, humbly hung above Matt's beloved 4wheeler. I personally think it's  a nice touch! ha!

The next 2-month project was my brooch bouquet. This made its first appearance in my mind late last year. So, the next few months would find me collecting brooches, earrings, rings, basically anything that I could glue or wrap a wire on/around. It's only after countless hours on this baby that I can fully appreciate why they go for hundreds $!

I'm thinking it was very much worth it! I LOVE it! The funniest part is when I tell people that my bouquet is made of brooches, I get this comment, "Wow that's gonna be heavy and hurt someone when you throw it!" haha I've got too much time wrapped up in it to throw it! Oh, and I guess I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt either! ;) 

Hope you all had a fab-tastic weekend full of DIY goodness!

Heisel Rules!
