Delay in posting due to CRAZY craftiness!!!

Standard

The last few weeks have been absolutely crazy-I have loads of updates!!!

 

Firstly and very excitingly-my glasses and frames are now in a shop!!! Brides by Pink Confetti in Broughton Astley, Leicestershire, now have a selection of hand-made items by The Beespoke Gift Company.

 

Next, I’ve made a new product: The Wedding Plate…

A lovely keepsake for a wedding gift. Wording and colours can be personalised.

 

And finally wedding chaos has descended upon our household!
I’ve chosen a style for my bridesmaid dresses and have begun to source fabric (I will update ‘Getting Wed!’ as soon as I get 5 minutes)-its all very exciting!
Secondly I have made all 95 thank you cards in prep for post wedding activities-see details on the ‘Cupcake Thank-you’s’ page.
I have also sourced and purchased fabric for my table cloths which co-ordinate with each different hand-painted pot for my centrepieces (I will add this information to the ‘Table Centre-pieces’ page).
I have begun to make button holes for which I will add a page as soon as they.re complete.
I think that’s it at the moment, but who knows, I’ve probably missed something, it’s been nuts!!!!-but I’ve loved every minute!!!

What have you done to be crafty and creative?

It’s all gone quiet…

Standard

Sorry for the delay in updates. I’ve been busy with the last week of term (before the summer holiday😃), and also with clearing my junk out of the house ready for some summer decorating-can’t wait to get the house finished!!!
Ill spend a couple of hours updating tomorrow.

Morning stroll

Standard

What a gorgeous morning for a stroll with Dudley! And he enjoyed every minute, having been unable to walk for the last couple of days due to the heat. And of course, I got to enjoy the rising sun! ☀
It’s going to be another hot one!!!
What have you done this morning?

Beautiful Bunting

Standard

This evening has been lovely! I’ve had my bestest girlie round for dinner to celebrate her birthday followed by making some paper bunting.

20130703-112101 PM.jpg
To do this I used some pictures from a doodle art book. I copied them on my multifunctional printer and coloured them in using crayola felt tip pens for strong bright colours (as they lose a bit of depth once scanned).

I then copied them onto card (2-sided) and cut them individually into triangular shapes with scalloped edges.

20130703-112340 PM.jpg
So all in all, a busy but exciting evening- and I’m really pleased with the results! 🙂

Hope you’ve enjoyed your evening too!
