Wedding Dresses!

We went to the wedding last night, and it was beautiful. The ceremony was low-key and casual where it could be, and was very personalised. Including a moment of irony when the celebrant stated the 'law says marriage is between a man and a woman' part, given he has a male partner.

The bride and bridesmaid looked stunning. Aline's dress swirled out wonderfully in their dance, not just the skirt but the sleeves too - it looked amazing. received many compliments on their dresses. As did I...



They look better on the women themselves:

Wedding handbags

Here are the two handbags I made out of scraps (OK I bought the zip and the cord) to go with the wedding and bridesmaid's dresses. Both go with either dress, so they can fight over them!

A was really impressed that I'd made the bags, she'd only just thought of handbags in the last few days, and thought it was another job for her to do in this hectic week. She looks amazing in her dress, and is totally thrilled with it. The wedding is next Saturday...

Next question: what am I going to wear??


Round Robin borders

These are photo's from the blog of the lady in the Round Robin after me: here's what she's done...

My centre

And my first border

I really like the diamonds in the second one, but the poetry? Not my thing.
