secret project number 3 . . .

so my best friend, the beautiful pamela, got married last weekend and we came up with some crafty touches to make the wedding personalised. she and her lovely groom decided to name each table after a nickname ((what an original idea!)) and she gave me a list of pictures to 'illustrate' in felt for each table. then we did a Mr + Mrs to hang behind the top table too...

so here they are! each one took about a day. the backgrounds are all the wedding colours (( sweet pea colours - blue, turquoise, teal, lilac and pink)) with the date on them, as well as a heart.

the Mr + Mrs rectangle took 2 days because of the detail and it was a surprise until 2 days before the wedding as i didn't want to reveal any crucial outfit secrets! the clock tower from the venue shows the time of their wedding, and each flower ((again, in the bridesmaid dress colours)) represents the beautiful urns of flowers her mum grew for the wedding.

it was a beautiful day, everything went to plan, the weather was perfect and there was some pretty awesome dancing. i even shed a tear when my bestie came down the aisle :o)

so here are all the table squares and the mr + mrs rectangle.

peace n love

embroidery hoops

this is the embroidery picture i made for my mum's birthday. i enjoyed it so much that i have now started a slightly more epic embroidery project, sewn onto a natural linen canvas. as i did the present for my mum i started using new and different stitches, and realised that i am really neat and tidy with my sewing! also with lettering.

when sewing, i don't draw patterns on the fabric, i just sew freehand and try not to restitch - i like being able to look at a piece and know that it is handmade and not machined by a robot. although, my mum still doesn't believe me when i say i sewed it by hand!
