Post Wedding Slump!

Aaarrrrggg! I wanted to get this posted much much earlier as I was really excited about writing the follow up to last week's Handmade Monday post showing off the pics of me wearing my new fascinator.... but I forgot to take my camera connector leady thing (technical term!) away with me for the weekend!

So we got home about an hour ago and the first thing I did (after getting the kids to bed) was load up the photos!

Sadly most of the photos are either ones that show off my fascinator or are unfit for public display as I *might* have had one glass of champagne too many - most unlike me I'm sure you all understand ;-)

But I really like this one that my lovely husband took before the drinking started:


We had a wonderful time and, as we were child-free, a very very late and silly night :-)

I've called this blog entry 'post wedding slump' as we had such a great time, with a bunch of friends we don't see all that often and it was a really lovely couple getting married so it was just a magical day and it's always a shame when a really looked forward to day/evening comes to an end - especially with a degree of hangover thrown in!!

However... onwards and hopefully upwards! I'm afraid I haven't got much more to show you this week... except for the finished Easter Bunny Wreath which I forgot to share last week:


Complete with an Easter Lily
And some seasonal Bluebells
 Right, I'm off to catch up with everyone else over at Handmade Monday - fancy joining me for a cuppa & a good read?

      Thanks Natalie - judging by the photos the day was lovely and the evening was messy ;-) I'm really pleased with the bluebells as they were a last minute addition! Simmi x

    You did so well with your fascinator and you look so glowing. I am glad you had a great time. I love the attention to detail that you have included on your wreath with the stamens of the Easter Lilly. Your stitching is so neat.

      Ahhh thank you :-) I'd not tried a lily before, but felt that it had to be 3D and a good replica or it would just look like a mess of felt stuck on the side ;-) Simmi x

      Awww thanks Ali - the memories are starting to come back to me now ;-) The Easter wreath is currently tormenting my kids as it's hanging on the wall out of their reach!! Simmi xx

    The fascinator looks wonderful on you, glad you had a lovely time and happy memories, even with a hangover! The Spring wreath you have made is so pretty. Perfect for hanging inside or outside the home.

      Hi Monica, thanks - I think that's partly why I like making them, because I don't suit knitted hats or any type other than wedding garb! Simmi x

    It is a shame when a great day has to end. Love the finished wreath, especially the 3D lily.

      So true. I remember Seren coming with us to a wedding last year & really enjoying it and a few days later asking to go back to the wedding cause it was so much fun - I've felt rather like that all week! Thanks, I'm really pleased with how the lily turned out :-) Simmi x
