Yours truly is engaged!

After several years together now, from a 3,000 mile long distance relationship to living together under the same roof sharing the same bed, E and I have come to the conclusion that we never want to be apart.

We spent this past weekend down in San Diego for my cousin's wedding and my birthday. To my surprise (and I would want to be surprised), that's when the proposal took place. I was wearing my strapless dress from the Butterick pattern. It was sweet and charming.

I had to catch my breath for a few days since we came back up to LA on Sunday, after telling all our friends and family, and the constantly updating of facebook (haha), I'm back on the roll!

So what does it mean for Serious Craft?

DIY WEDDING of course!!! My brain juices and saliva have been flowing for a long time now thinking about all the kinds of crafts and handmaking that will be done for our wedding. There will no doubt be some Serious Crafting going on.

We will not only strive for our craft projects to be cost-effective, but also unique, not-cheap-looking, and beautiful.

That means expect an overflow of ideas and projects and documentation of the whole process of the creating here on Serious Craft! Starting with this post, there is now a "wedding" tag on the left sidebar so you can find all these posts easily.

Yay!

About the ring:

The ring is made of 100% recycled and completely re-refined platinum and contains conflict free diamonds from Canada. It does not support warfare and corruption in Africa. We feel good about it. It looks beautiful. It feels alive or like a working machine on my finger because it is very glittery. :)
