What kind of boxes are you doing Dita?
I was thinking of making boxes out of chocolate then filling them with truffles or sweets or something, to go with the theme, plus I can use them as place settings too.

Lexxi that sounds awesome - I saw on one of the millions of sites I go on choc favours in the shape of lego bricks!
Mine are pyramid shaped with cath kidston rose style pattern tied at the top with ribbon. Im going to fill them with HM fudge.

Will put up a pic when I sort photobox account thing. Ive just finished 65 ... my arm totally hurts but saved me about £30 and im well chuffed with them. Did take me about a day and a half however .... but better than watching telly

They sound lovely! Not suprised your arm hurts though how many more have you got to do?
I love the thought of lego bricks, I've been on millions of craft type sites and have all sorts of instructrions on things, I'm trying not to get too carried away in case I get swamped down and nothing gets done :rotfl:

Great thread!

I've discovered a crafty side too! I have made my tiara which I'll get pictures of later.

I have also made the seed paper from another thread which I am really pleased with!



Last night I made some bows to go on the end of the pews in the church, this one was the prototype, the finished products are a little less wonky :rotfl:

Hope you dont mind a suggestion! this looks far too wide for pew end decoration, ( check the width of yours as they are normally only a few inches wide) try making your bows with the fabric for the first layer then make another with the ribbon loops on top of the first one instead of wrapped round it which will give you a effect more like this one http://www.kaboodle.com/reviews/pe-002-peach-wedding-flower-pew-bow-decoration this one the organza layer is more scrunched but this is the nearest i could find. to try and show the effect I mean.

Not at all Will check the widths on Sunday, was planning to take one along with me to check anyway but I know they are quite wide.

I'll give it a go that way around and see how it looks
