Okay, so I didn't invent the idea myself, I saw it in a magazine. BUT, they simply laid the hearts flat at place settings and I plan to hang them using twine from a huge bare branch, spraypainted, emerging from a hurricane glass filled with river stones we found at Great Falls. BOOYAH! And, AND, I want to place in front of the tree branch handmade moss-covered letters that spell out l-o-v-e. I mean, I just can't stop. I'm going to be up to my ears in projects soon.
Is it a ridiculous waste-of-time to spend this much energy planning little wedding details? I'm not sure. I should certainly be working on my book more than I am. Yet I get such pleasure from these little bursts of hands-on creativity, like popping ripe raspberries in my mouth, sweetness explosion. And when else will I find another excuse like this to waste hours upon hours gluing, cutting, painting, and soldering?
Ah, yes, I've figured it out now. It's the hands-on, crafting type creativity that I'm really enjoying at the moment, more so than intellectual wandering, which can be both rewarding and draining. I'm happy in the simplicity and quick reward of envisioning something, hunting down the materials, and putting them together to create something unique and lovely.
Yup, my favorite part of being a bride is the crafts :)
