I have been in a super creative mood since finishing my art Alevel (typical!) which is very good for our wedding plans because I have got so much done. It is all a surprise so I can't show all my hard work to the guests! So I am showing it to you instead :D

  • The buttonholes and thr bouquet are unbelievable - i am so impressed and a little bit jealous!! I had real flowers and they were crap - one of the buttonholes disintegrated before it was even put on!!!

    You should make these and sell them on ebay - i would have bought them!!! You must be so pleased with yourself :) xxx

    Thanks everyone :)

    More like weeks than hours.. I have been working on it for months well I got used to working with felt and learning to do embroidery (I have never done it before) but the last few weeks I have spent ages on it trying to get it finished.
    Now I just need to go buy some clear nail varnish to finish the ribbon ends.

    Absolutely amazing! I love the bouquet and button holes! Invites are lovely too! But WOW to the flowers, you're so clever, I hope you feel very proud on your wedding day! :D
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!
