Wedding decorations.

In August twinny is getting married. Yay!
Being the crafty pair we are and having a very large marquee to make pretty I have cracked on with making some decorations.

I have begun with bunting. lovely bunting.
All red and white and many, many metres of it.Twinny sent me a link to Martha Stewart's DIY Wedding website, which has lots of ideas.

I have since made coffee filter pom poms.
These were much easier to do than I expected and look really nice when strung across the room.
DIY tutorials suggested ten coffee filters to a pom pom but I went with six which worked fine. I will do some more and dye them red.
Paper garlands were also on the DIY wedding website.
These looked good in the red and white paper I used but were very time consuming for not many meterage!Martha Stewart has been a suprising help. For now I am going to carry on with the bunting and will keep looking for other super DIY wedding ideas as there is still lots to do.

Snow go in Wales.

Today I soldiered into work hoping the doors would be closed and I could head back home for a cup of tea and Jeremy Kyle, no such luck. So here I am at work, writing this blog, as lets face it, no one else is doing any work.
Have been adding a few of my bits to my shop here: http://http//www.folksy.com/shops/boozyfloozydesigns
And knitting away. Finished another knitted bag in a purple wool which I lined with pink fabric and added a pink zip and buttons

I like the design of this bag and also had some of the wool left so knitted up a third one using larger needles, making a big bags. Just need to add a zip and lining, here it is so far:

If my sister is reading this I think I would like a digital camera for my birthday, the phone on camera is rubbish.

Oh I also made a cup and saucer out of some spare material I had:

Home time now, off to build rude snowmen and then after soup will make a start on the ties for the Metson-Kane wedding.
Happy snow time everyone.
