Wedding thing

[bunsen_h]

Yesterday, I had the honour of attending the wedding of commodorified, raynedaze , random, and fairestcat. It was a slightly odd ceremony, combining pagan and Christian elements.  And oh, yeah, there was the "four people getting married" thing; you don't see that every day.  Not yet, anyway.

It was also an opportunity to spend time with friends, including folks I haven't spent enough time with in too long, such as fajrdrako , auriaephiala, ladymondegreen , and akawil.  There was lots of yummy food, with care taken to accommodate a variety of dietary restrictions (which I very much appreciate).

I had my best hat with me, but it didn't seem to me that it quite matched the flavour of the event, so I left it with my jacket.  I need to get more supplies so I can make myself something more appropriate.

My compliments to the happy... quartet?  (I don't know what the appropriate parallel term is: '2' is to 'couple' as '4' is to ..?)  May their lives together be long and joyful.

It takes me about two hours to make one of the plush squidlets (I'm not sure what you mean by "necklace"). Roughly: 20 minutes to cut the pieces, 10 minutes of machine stitching, 15 minutes to shred fabric scraps for stuffing, an hour and a quarter of hand-stitching. I could save a bit of time by using some other stuffing, but shredded fabric has a good feel and weight.

There might be some faster way to shred the fabric scraps, and about half of the hand-stitching could be done on a machine with a somewhat smaller presser-foot setup than mine has.
