Our Wedding Day

Just thought I would share a few images from our Wedding Day on the 22nd September...not sure what was going on with the camera date thingy...we figure it is Colin's mum saying hi (the date shown was her birthday after all)

 The lace is made from the handspun I showed in an earlier post.
The little Honiton bee was made by Jacqui of Larkholme Lace in the U.K.

The necklace was made by a friend from our local craft group.

 The garter was made by around 15 different local lace makers from a Louise Colgan design.

 The Wedding Party with Dear Son (behind) showering us with bubbles.

 The wedding cake decoration...

A local resident of Tranquillity Gardens, popping in to add his congratulations...

 Colin's Grand daughter enjoying the balloons...

 The Bride and Groom...

 The signing table flowers.

 Looking North over the Tamar Valley 

and South towards Launceston (my Grandson thinks this is a view of "the whole world" lol)

The T Model that transported the bridal party.

A wonderful day was had by all, and we followed up with the most awesome 8 days on the big island.  May share some pics when I download the 3 cameras.

Now back to some lace for me :)

Hugs to all, thanks for visiting...don't forget to drop a line in the comments...

Updating...

First of all, 'Bella' fired beautifully!

I could not believe how long it took to add these small amounts of paint...back to the kiln, then the finishing touches...

...highlight the lips, finish the fingernails and eyes and tone the hair...I honestly do NOT spend this much time tizzing me ...Maybe that is the problem?!?!?LOL

 Next week, I may just get to start on the doll with my handmade lace!

At around 4.30 pm on WEDNESDAY afternoon, we had a mother of all hail storms across Launceston.  Colin was lucky...the storm hit while he was shopping, but he did have to drive home in the aftermath!

This picture was taken outside one of our stops at 8.30 AM THURSDAY morning!

The garden in the side street looked gorgeous - as if it had been snowing - but I did not take a photo. 

Then the garden in the area where we worked looked appealing, but alas, I did not take a photo.

As we were leaving, we spied this scene...I had to take a photo!  Note the garden edge too...It has NOT snowed in Launceston for at least 30 years, so this really is a rare sight.  Besides, our 'snow season' (in the nearby mountains) is usually August/September!

 Finally, I am working on a quick little project for our State Lace Guild AGM...the committee has challenged members to make a flower for a display - we are hoping there will be some "spares" to share with past members, giving everyone a pretty, lasting reminder of the event.

I have finally made a start on mine...Miss Sox is overseeing the project!

 "I'm not touching it, honest Mum!"

I think it is time to rejoin Miss Sox...at least it is warm there!!

Hugs and loads of lovely lace making time to you, my bloggy friends :)

Bear Garden ATCs

Greetings All,

Hope you had a wonderful Easter and that you and yours are all safe and happy!

I have finally finished my wash painted teddy ATCs on calico, trimmed with a little tatting. Guzzie Sue...what do you think? If there is one from here or my last ATC post that you like, let me know so I can pop it in the post with the other 7 :)
If you have a favorite and would love to trade, please leave a comment. Better yet...how about that exchange :) Just let me know in the comments box please. I love having visitors who enjoy a chat!

Off to make a hovercraft skirt - yes, another one! This time for a much smaller 1 person craft so should be easier .................. I hope!! Then I may be able to focus on the next round of ATC ideas, a little more of the A or even sample a small piece of the macadamia nut chocolate bar awaiting my indulgence ...MMmmmmmmmmm

Hugs to all
