You’re certainly right. I most definitely worry all the time about things that nobody notices – or at least never mentions. It’s an interesting exercise to put things in a shop and wait to see if anyone likes them enough to buy them. I’m trying very hard to let go about it and focus, as I said in in an earlier post, on exploring and enjoying the process.

In answer to your question I will only say this… as a crafter, I have often noticed that I am my own worst critic. And I worry all the time about things no one else ever noticed. I’m not going to give an opinion on whether or not you should make this particular note, that’s dependent on your own comfort lever – just noting a general trend I’ve seen in myself and many of the other crafters that I love.

I understand the pragmatic issues that led to your decision. We too could be happy living together without the ceremony but my man is a writer with no “income” and no insurance and we just felt that….well, why not? We are mature, middle aged kids and don’t feel this is impulsive. But we are also doing it for romantic reasons.

We chose a courthouse ceremony for the anonymity (don’t want my extended family to know), ease, and cost. We have decided to go with non-traditional clothes in black and tan with a wedding dinner at a sophisticated restaurant in the city and a hotel room with a jacuzzi tub!

Congrats and remember you aren’t alone!

Blessings on the New Year. The current Bon Apetit has a tofu curry recipe that uses coconut milk-that is vegan friendly, right? Thought I’d try it.
