wedding stuff: ring pillow

a sudden burst of wed-spiration struck on monday and we (me and mom) whisked out a old strip of fabric and made us (me and daniel) a ring pillow. mum sewed, i embroidered, i stuffed, mum re-stuffed cos she thought it was flimsy, she restitched the edges complaining how home ed did not teach me a single good stitch.. and we fought for hours if the bow should be big and fluffy or small and neat. (verdict: small and neat cos my ring is too tiny, according to mum.. *bah*) it was kitschy, homey and personal. and  I LOVE IT.... and i love it more cos my mum made it. and i was at peace with the world..

until... i saw this!



OMG this pilow kicks ass. if i had a dress, i would love for it be look this this! *boohoo*.. and its lovingly handsewn by Sarah Lansdale. Yes i don't know who sarah is but she is one damn creative and talented ring pillow creator. I LOVE IT! its so chic and classy!! and neat!!

ah! im torn. so im turning to you!! which would you use, darlings?

a) mum's hard work
b) this beautiful masterpiece
c) shuddup you crazy bride-to-be, its a freakin ROM!!

i would totally post a picture of (a) but daniel has not seen it and the last time he pitched a fit when he found out his own wedding plans from my blog *oops*
