Christmas goodies

Two of my favourite gifts this year, a carved wooden mushroom and a lovely cake stand....

Christmas at Hampton Lodge

Our first year of hosting Christmas this year and I think it went rather well :-)

Crafty Apples Inspiration

Since Crafty Apples began in October I have met some lovely people, and some excellent crafters, one such crafter, Lucy, introduced me to this lovely book from Donna Wilson called; The Knitted Odd-Bod Bunch

Today I began work on one of my favourite characters from the book Mimi Mushroom ;-)

Beaded Headband

Iwanted to make something for myself for the wedding, almost everything at my wedding has been handmade, just not by myself. For my evening look, I wanted a 20's/30's style headband, and found some inspiration from this lady on Etsy... Quirky Beauty



And here are the beginnings of my 'beaded leaf' headband....

Save the date....

Its a date...

I'm so happy...me and Colin have finally set the date for the wedding

13th February 2010 Manchester Town Hall

As you expect I have already picked out the style, themes and colours, I have even bought my accessories and bouquet, I also know where Im ordering my dress from and I am happy to announce alot of these things are handmade products bought from Etsy. I also plan to make some table decorations of my own, but Im not overwhelming myself with too much of this.
