Well since July I was in full wedding flow for my daughter wedding, It was a homemade affair in our local church where her Grandparents were married over 50yrs ago Then onto the village hall for the reception. We made nearly everything including the table cloths to keep costs down. I will start posting the bits I made for those of you who are interested As well as the cards I have made in that time. Once they came back from honeymoon they were still living in us as their house had not completed Then finally it completed at the beginning of November, so all hands to help them move all the stuff they had collected and stored for the past through months in a number of peoples home. They are now happily sorting the house and have started their lives together My son has moved into his sisters old bedroom as that was bigger which leave the small room for me to create a craftroom, with a put me up bed in case it ever needed. So exciting, I am writing this whilst on H...

I have been doing lots preparation for my daughters wedding whilst I am off work recovering  from an operation and unable to drive and having to rest - which I do badly! Most I cannot show you as the wedding day is not until 30 September But as she sent all her invitation out early in the year I can show them She doesn't like lots of white space so it was quite challenging working out her invites They had decided the colour is to Cadburys Purple and when they got engaged at Gator World last year it after doing a zip line through trees so they wanted a tree After quite a few goes this is the final design. The tree svg file was one I brought from Esty  and the little cat and dog a pre-coloured image from Sassy Cheryls.   I used my Brother Scan and Cut to cut everything including all the little images. Then all I had to do was put them all together and put inside the details The tree was carried through into the words inside I think it worked o...
