Wedding making

Firstly I must thank Jan LITTLE RED HEN for this lovely gift that arrived in the post a couple of weeks ago. Jan and I met in Ballarat when I went for a weekend of crafty fun. Blogland is an amazing place, thank you Jan l love hand made gifts the lavender bag smells so wonderful.

I thought I would share all the making I did for the wedding first the invitations which started as this.

 

And ended up as bunting invitations.
Gemma, Lucas and I had a crafting afternoon and made about 12 sets of these jars which had candles in them.
Honey got bored and decided to sit on my side table so that she had a better view out the window.

Normally this table is covered with cotton reels and sewing stuff I must have decided it needed a dust.

All those lovely crafty things and the wedding was over in a blink of an eye.

I wish we could do it again without the stress.

Love your gifts from your bloggy friend. The wedding was so beautiful and all the bits that made it special were done with such skill and love and were so unique. I love the special touches-maybe you can go into the wedding business? :)
