Recent Events!

OK I haven’t written an entry for a while and I have a bit to say…

Hen’s Night:

Apart from the lack of Music on the night it was a pretty fun evening. It was tea party themed with all the girls were dressed with great effort! We had a Alice in Wonderland, Betty Boop, Jane (Tarzan) Tinkerbell, Cinderella (Bride), Belle (Beauty and the Beast), Pocahontas and Little Red Riding Hood.

My Best Friend’s Wedding: First off the wedding of my best friend on the 15th May went off with only a minor hitch (no pun intended) as there were a few waterworks from the bride when we found out the batteries for the stereo which was to be used for the ceremony music didn’t fit – which resulted in us two bridesmaids running off to the store (thankfully we were at a resort which also had a caravan park so the petrol station had a small general store). It was a long day and the night before was just as long having gone to bed at around 3.30am and getting up at 7am I think, but we were glad after all the photos and the formalities of the reception (rather more I since I had to do a speech being the Maid of Honour) and then we could get down to some refreshing beverages (two bottles of non-menu champagne later).

Sewing Projects:

Since the last post I have made/sewed a few little quick items, first was a traditional looking apron made from the fabric which used on the Hen’s night as a table cover. I now use it ever time I cook and just tuck a tea towel in the top for wiping. I also made plastic bag holder (a tube with a hole at the top and bottom) which I made using fabric I brought when Maddison was born but never got around to using (green gingham with little bees). I just whiped up the last two using no tutorials and it was just a hit or miss sort of project which thankfully were both hits. I also made a little tutu using the tulle for the Hen’s night veil (which I didn’t get around to making) – I brought the wings and wand from a cheap store for $8 as I didn’t like the full sets which cost twice as much and the wings and skirt weren’t very nice looking. The tutorial I used for the tutu can be found here. Photos will be added in the Sewing and Craft Creations! page.
