How can it be a week already? hello Wednesday. Well I am back from the wedding in London, it was a pretty manic weekend. Some wedding photos are in the previous post.

Today's desk, my machine is out again, still making denim bags. Though by the end of today Iwill have them finished and they will have been delivered to the driver who is taking them to Moldova. I ran out of denim and time, so only 36 will be finished.

On my desk you can see that small pile of denim, no piece is bigger than 6 inches. That is all that is left from 14 pairs of jeans, 2 skirts and a metre of denim fabric. (The wool at the back, is to finish off a baby blanket, started 3 years ago)



Finally I can show you the wedding stuff, this is the card I made for them.

An easel card in the main, but with a slidey out bit at the front.

This is the gift box...

which contains the photo album that I made...I couldn't get a gift box to fit, so I bought a document box from WHSmiths, padded and lined it...added organza ribbons.

At last, here is the book that I made. It is full of tags and pockets and bits that are hidden and pull out. I am so pleased with the way it turned out.The bride loved it.

(It was made using instructions from Laura Denison )

This is the only full length photo of me where you can see my dress,necklace,bracelet cuff and bag .lol

We just had a wonderful weekend down in London. We set off on Friday, and unbelievably it took us 7 hours to get there, it was only supposed to be 4.5 but the traffic was just dreadful. Anyhoo we dropped our stuff at the travel lodge and went to my aunties for a meal. It was great to catch up with family, and to give the bride her gift before the wedding. By giving it to her the night before it meant she could have a good look through it rather than give it to her at the wedding when she would be too busy.

Saturday we got a taxi over to the town hall, it was a lovely old building. This is the room for the service.



and here they are married at last, they smiled and giggled the whole way through. They looked so relaxed and happy.

the reception was in a paddock, there was a huge tent and 3 gazebos. There was also a hog roast being prepared just as we arrived.

Platters of nibbles and bottles of champagne came around every 10 minutes to keep us busy till the main meal was served.

This is the tent in which the reception was held.

The inside of the tent,before the main meal.

This is me with the girlfriend's of two of my cousins.

As it got darker we were treated to a display by a fire poi dancer. I was pretty impressed as I have some poi, I am not very good with them and I certainly don't set them on fire lol

On the Sunday we drove over to Bluewater shopping mall where we met up with this group of loony toons. A superb bunch of girls that i know from UKS along with husbands and kids.

Monday we did a bit of shopping and had ourselves some lunch and then set off home, thankfully it only took us 4.5 hrs to get home....think I may sleep for a week now.
