Fresh flowers are nice, but I feel no real emotional connection to them. My great-grandmothers jewelry and curtains from my fiance and I's first apartment though, those are special. So I figured hey, why not bring them to the wedding in bouquet form?

Along with some cruelty-free feathers from etsy and lots of hot glue I present to you my alternative bridal bouquet:











(ps- I plan to cover that plastic handle, I just haven't decided how to yet...)

It's been forever since I had any but I got two more today (:

Back:   "but I'm not even sure I want to drink."



Front: "WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?"
Back:   "Whenever I see little kids having fun with their parents (happy faces, loving looks), it makes me feel like crying. WHY? (I had a loving family, step-dad, but still...) WHY?"

thank you for this GENIUS tutorial!!

to make it easier to sew flat on a machine I did the seams slightly out of order. if it would help anyone else here's what I did:
1. sewed together both pieces at front of pants and laid them flat
2. made waistband and sewed it across top
3. sewed together back of pants
4. sewed together legs from one ankle to the other

The sender of this secret was worried that this post card may not make it to it's destination, but if it does, feel free to post it again!

"I will continue to live because you could not"


Back: "It's been over 6 years since they died. I see their faces EVERYDAY (literally). The pain NEVER goes away, you just grow an immunity to it on certain days. On others I replay the image of seeing them carried out in body bags. I can't tell anyone how I still feel, because I know they want me to get help. I don't want to talk to a quack, I just want want my chance to say goodbye."

"I would love to be a nudist..."

Back: "... but I hate the way I look. If I had more confidence, I really would love to ditch my clothes. They are too damn confining."

Front: "She was one of my best friends in Middle School"
Back: "and something I have never told anyone is that she was also my first kiss and first oral sex.
          People ask me how do I know I'm not gay since I've never tried it.
          Truth: She is how I know."
