I will admit I lost a little motivation for Little Hibachi this year, but don't worry. It's coming back. I plan to do lots more LH in 2016, more original ideas and designs, so look forward to that.
For now I wanted to make one last post for this year about a piece I made for my friend Dillon and his bride, Bailey's wedding (And might I add it was one of the most adorable weddings I have been to ever).
For weeks leading up to their wedding I was racking my brain trying to think what would be a good piece to give them. I knew I wanted to make a custom piece, but I wasn't sure exactly what it would be yet. A week or so before the wedding, the bride and groom sent an email reminding everyone to bring a book for a book swap they were planning to have at the wedding. I knew then I wanted to make something book-related. At first I thought I would have an open-faced book that read on one page: "Bailey and Dillon with the date of the wedding" and on the next page it would say: "And they lived happily ever after."
As I looked online for clip art matching what I envisioned in my mind I realized it was a little more complicated with so much writing and not a lot of space in the frame I had to work with.
So I scratched that idea. And I'm glad that I did because what I ended up with was better than anything I could have pictured in my mind.
The wedding was wonderful and it was absolutely heartwarming to see two people so in synch and in love. One thing I love about going to friends' weddings are the little details they add that show their personalities. Bailey and Dillon's wedding was chock-full of them! Here are a few pics from the wedding just to reiterate how freaking adorable they are. I couldn't be more happy for my friend Dillon and his new wife, Bailey.
I wish all of you out there the best this holiday season. And if, by chance, you are someone who doesn't get into the holiday spirit, that you are still able to find a spark of warmth and peace to carry you into the New Year. Until then...
