Next week we are having a royal wedding party. {eye roll} We're going to watch BBC America's endless loop o' coverage, wear tiaras, and eat scones with our tea. (Yes, we had to have a long discussion about the pronunciation of that word.) I'm making Martha Stewart's mini carrot muffins and Nigella Lawson's Eton Mess.
I know I've mentioned before how absolutely over the royal wedding I am. Seriously, I would sooner stitch a celebrity face in cross stitch than a royal wedding sampler. The first time I saw one of those I thought WTF? I also thought some things that I'm sure would offend many, many people, mostly Americans... We all watched this in 1981 (In truth, I didn't; I was at cheerleading camp--way more important than royalty!) and we know how that turned out. I just don't get it at all. Fortunately for me, the Brit I married isn't much of a royalist.
I knew I loved him when I figured out he didn't believe in fairy tales.

Oh Yeah! I can just see you there in your tiara sipping tea and nibbling scones. I'm with you... why on earth would I want to watch a total stranger's wedding? No matter who they are or how much money they have, I just can't make myself give a darn.
Your LK piece is coming along nicely! I'm kind of curious about her gown but other than that, not do much. I also don't get spending one minute of my stitching time working on a royal sampler. Seriously!?
It's "sc-oh-ne" if you're from the South of England and "scon" if you're from the north!
Apart from the Stone of Scone which is pronounced "Scoon" and isn't even a scone! But that's in Scotland and not in England.
Most of us are just happy to have another day off work :-)
You said it. I didn't care about the last wedding so much that I don't even remember what time of year it was... I do recall I was a junior in high school...or on my way to being a senior if it was during the summer. (I'm guessing it was summer only because you said you were at cheerleading camp!)
We want pictures of your festivities next week, though.

I barely even know a royal wedding is about to happen. Life is much quieter when you don't have cable.
And I agree with you about stitching royal wedding samplers. I saw one in a UK magazine today, and while the design itself was nice, the computer generated faces on it were awful. But, it seems to me, from what little royal wedding memorabilia I have seen, that most of it is pretty bad.
I'll be waiting to see a picture of you in your tiara with your tea!
If it's any consolation ( well it probably won't be!) I'm a Brit,I am sick of hearing about the royal wedding and I won't be watching it! Lol!
Your L*K is looking good.
Someone in DH's office brought us back a commemorative ashtray from a recent trip to London. An ASHTRAY! (or really small candy disk with cut outs on the side)
It's pretty tacky, especially the peel-n-stick image on the bottom. Wonder if I should put it up on eBay.
I started my Dog Lessons for People the other week. I got as far as "When a gr" before I stopped. I have a ways to go before I catch up to you. :)
