An unsatisfactory conclusion

Thank you so much to everyone who offered advice and opinions on this post. Everyone disagreed quite a lot, which is where all my confusion on the topic comes from in the first place! But it was real...

Is this ok?

I have been wanting for ages now to sell some of my knits, to clear out cupboard space and raise some money for charity, but have been unsure of how to go about it - I want them to get enough exposur...

Finished V1099 Jacket

I actually finished this at least a week ago, but I've been kind of obsessed with taking and putting my daily photo on Flickr, so it took me until today to get Adam to take photos! Also, I am making ...

Stuff

Hello internet! I still haven't finished the Vogue jacket, although I am hoping to over the next week - it's been rainy and dark this week, and I can't see well enough to sew in the evenings. I'm goi...

Vogue 1099

Tempting though it is to plaster photos of my chickens all over the blog, I thought I'd better leave them out this time - they will be back soon! I have been doing quite a bit of knitting and sewing ...

Odds and Ends

I have been slowly getting along with my Mum's cardigan, and have now finished the back, both fronts, one sleeve, and started on the last sleeve. So not much further to go! Here's a crap photo of the...

Rowan 46!

I have been stalking the John Lewis haberdashery department, and finally this week they got the new Rowan - hurrah! It looked very promising on the internet, but I don't think you can get a proper id...

At least someone has been making something!

Oh hello chickens! Margot, why are you inside on this sunny day? Let's have a look through the egg door! What's this under your fluffy bottom?! An EGG! A lovely little egg! Still warm! Margot laid he...

Sewing - Vogue 1087

Following on from how much I enjoyed making all those dresses for the wedding, I decided that I would try and get into sewing a bit more after the wedding. It's weird, we both did so much for the wed...

KNITTING!

The chickens are here!

Nothing to do with crafts, but some very big news for us! 3 months ago we ordered an eglu and 2 chickens, and this weekend they arrived! Here is their house: We bought the whole package from Omlet, a...

Pearl River

In what I think is the final wedding post, and moving nicely back to the main theme of knitting, here is my River! I had wanted to knit something for the wedding all along, but suddenly it struck me ...

Stationery!

Stationery today - the first part is an entry I had to remove before the wedding as firstly something happened as a result of me posting it which was dreadful, and secondly Adam pointed out that lots...

Flowers!

Right, onto the flowers. We decided to do the flowers ourselves really early on, because my bridemaid Jess got married before us, and she did them herself and they looked great. Also it is all about ...

The last few things! Wedding cakes!

Taken on 14th March 2009. We are now back from a fantastic honeymoon, and although I am sad it is all over, we are still on a definite high from the whole experience! I can't wait to show off all the...

Stationery crafting!

I had an entry here today about crafting wedding stationery, but I have deleted the entire thing as it was pointed out to me guests might see the things, and the surprise on the day be ruined. I will...

Pretty wedding jewellery

Hello again! I was going to write about my dress today, but I forgot to take some photos last night which wouldn't give the whole game away, so today is about the jewellery I made for myself and the ...

Bridesmaid's dresses completed!

It's been AGES! I have been the busiest I have ever been over the last few months. I had an insane few months at work - always staying away in a crappy hotel and working crazy hours, and desperately ...

A frustrating update! But maybe there is hope?

Thanks so much to everyone who gave advice and opinions on my last post. They were all much appreciated! I am still very undecided on the sheeny vs shiny dilemma, but luckily (?) I am also still unde...

Please can I have some help, internet?

The first bridesmaid dress!

I actually did the sewing for the first bridesmaid dress 2 weeks ago! But I have been snowed under at work, and finally have a chance to show it off. The first bridesmaid dress needs minor adjustment...

Invitations!

We finally sent out our wedding invitations a week ago! I say finally because it took about 2 entire weekends to design, guillotine, glue, address and stamp 40 of those bad boys. It is in fact still ...

Wedding Dress Fabric!

I don't really want to show off my wedding dress until after the event, as guests might be looking! But I can't resist, so I will show sneaky peeks etc. as I go. I made a practice dress a while ago, ...
