Well hello! The move from my flat happened last Friday - 17th May. We've had the week off work and have been working on the new house - stripping wallpaper, knocking out a fireplace, and generally being very destructive! There will be pictures to come when/if we finish anything...!
In the meantime, we had a nice day away from DIY yesterday to go to my sister-in-law's sister's wedding (that's my brother's wife's sister!)
I had done a bit of crafting for the wedding - I gave you a glimpse of an embroidery outline in a previous post. Here is the finished embroidery:
I drew the pattern on paper, then traced onto white cotton with a fine permanent pen. I then used purple embroidery thread to stitch along the lines.
In the bottom corner are two mother-of-pearl heart buttons, outlined with stitches...
And a bow in the top corner...
I framed it in a white box frame...
And it went on the table with the guest book, post box etc...
The bride, my sister-in-law, my Mum and myself decorated the guest book and post box too, and did other crafty bits and bobs for the wedding.
It was a lovely day!
Aww Maria, that's beautiful! I bet the bride loved it!
ReplyDeleteWell done for the move, hope you get settled in soon and get the place looking how you want it. :o)
ReplyDeleteWell done on the embroidery, it looks wonderful.
Maria that is so precious! Where were you when I was getting married?! I would have killed to have had people like you on my side. So awesome and thoughtful. And detailed.

What a lovely idea! I need a wedding gift idea for a dear friend of mine who got married recently. Thank you so much for the inspiration!
