Somethings blue

Today was a dressing up day...

I had a blue shawl and trousers (that I made)
Blue shoes, blue nail varnish, and an antique blue pendant.

I borrowed some kirby grips and my underwear was new !!!

It was hot, but the ring fitted with a bit of pushing...










There were a mixture of chocolate muffins, of different sizes.

some were gluten & dairy free (in blue cases)

And others were knitted - thanks to Tutley Mutley

The four legs were there in pictures :-)













There was knitting in the sun, much to the confusion of some guests...


Others were watching my knitting more than I was !!!








And for place settings there were goodie bags - filled with things to do with the music we had:

Pink Panther biscuits

Sunflower seeds (Sunshine)
Rainbow drops (Rainbows)
Lollipop (and Lollipops)

And for those that enjoy a giggle this is what my new name is - and I will be changing my signiture to S.Paice.....

Busy busy busy

Less than three weeks to go until the wedding....
Things were looking very disorganised this morning, but I've been busy rushing round and doing..

Flowers are ordered, not very subtle, I'm hoping for some amazing clashing of colours, gerberas in a mixture for buttonholes for all the guests - sounds extravagant but there are only going to be 20 of us !

And I have been baking and knitting:

When I came up with the idea of having knitted muffins as well as real ones, Tutley Mutley was with me. Terri very kindly offered to knit some for me, I have managed a few as well...

We measured and decided on a size for the knitted ones - when I put them on the stand I noticed that the knitted ones are considerable larger than the edible ones...

At least it should be more obvious which are which...










This is the first batch iced and ready to freeze.

So on the morning of the wedding they just have to be taken out and arranged on the stand

I'm trying to do something very different for the top tier, but being challenged with tension, and a small dog....







And once the muffins were iced they took on a more rustic look....

Think I got carried away with the amount of icing....


I've still got my trousers to make, but that is a job for tomorrow.

I've also been suffering from an ear infection for the last month, so far I've had drops, antibiotics and now I've got a spray - doctor thinks it has gone to my middle ear, hopefully it will be gone soon, I am getting lots of knitting done in the waiting room....

Himself's house is on the verge of being ready to go on the market - it will be ready before the wedding. I will only be working on it this week, landing and large sitting room to wall paper. Then I will have two weeks of calm sorting myself out and making space for a man and a small dog in my house....

I will try and share a few more wedding things soon
