I was struggling to cut a piece of canteloupe from its rind.
“Man, my knives are really horrible.” - me
“I have nice knives. Why don’t you marry me, so you can use my knives?” - T
That’s as good a reason as any, right?

My wedding is coming up, and I wanted to have a thank-you gift for each of the special children in our ceremony. My fiance and I have 3 nieces and 1 nephew, and they will be the “flower children.” (We’re not doing the ring-bearer thing.)
I wanted to give the kids something they could play with during the rehearsal dinner, which is when we are giving our gifts. And I didn’t want to go the bride-and-groom barbie route.
So I went to Michael’s and got each of them a stuffed bear. I also picked up a roll of tulle and a spool or periwinkle ribbon (one of our wedding colors).
Then I went home and “edited” the bears into perfect gifts for our flower children!
Our “flower boy” gets a handsome bear with a periwinkle bowtie.
And our flower girls each get a lovely bear with a veil. I cut 2 lengths of tulle, folded each in half, gathered them and sewed them to the bears’ heads. Then, I hot-glued a periwinkle bow over the stitches.
I hope they like them!
