This is going to be a very short post. We’re still coming back down to earth after a wonderful wedding weekend, and I haven’t got my head together enough to process photos, or write much. I hope you’ll forgive me, there’s lots of other news as well, so I’ll wait for the champagne bubbles to clear out of my system so I can write properly!
Thanks so much for those many sun dances and fair weather vibes being sent our way after the last post. It worked! After days of truly dreadful weather, the wedding day was as bright and shiny as anyone could have wished for.
We spent Friday afternoon decorating the venue, and serendipity decreed that the 60, yes – SIXTY- metres of bunting I had stitched was exactly the right length to do the whole room, not one flag too many or few. ( I of course, tried very hard to pretend it was down to careful planning!)
I also stitched many metres of paper hearts for the doors so my sewing machine was not happy, but it looked pretty! The bride’s mother did beautiful things with flowers and between the combined families we transformed the room.
The main thing I made for the wedding I have given a little hint of it in the Silent Sunday post, but I’ll save the main photos for the next post. Don’t forget to come back for a peek!
In the meantime I will leave you with a link to this week’s Handmade Monday which Wendy is now hosting on her new blog, Handmade Harbour so you can see what else has been going on, and also a tiny glimpse of a wonderful, magical day …
