Stuff getting done.. and minor panics over nothing.

So, yes..

We have small person's outfit for the wedding sorted. You know this is all spoilers, right? ;)

She looks like this (but will have a matching flower in her hair and hair properly done). That flower pin is just one I had around.

The shrug is finished as you can see. I'm not super happy with the rolling neckline, but the front and bottom are ok and I don't hate it enough to rip the whole thing out or anything.

Then, I have been making the "real" flowers (after all those trial ones.)

My ones for the dress are done, except for the beading.

I think they will be like this, going down one side of my dress, just above the hip. They have grey crystal beads to go on.

 

That's a pair of dressmaking scissors for scale. I've started the other flowers for Flower Girl of Cute and Lady of Awesome's hair but my thread is refusing to thread and I can't find my needle threader and its late and I am cross. So I stopped and decided to post here to feel like I am achieving stuff.

Other stuff has happened. His Lordship has his shiny new suit and is stressing over my dress not being ready (hello! I can't control that!). And he got his teeth fixed. I wish I could say it looked nice but I can't because he wouldn't show me. :(

Most of the quotes for the tables are printed, but I might reprint some larger as I had more room than I thought.

I still need to finish the flowers & beading, cut the table runners, try to get hold of my future sister in law to make my jewellery already, assemble those frames, pick music and bake biscuits.. not much, right?

Last couple of days I keep having these odd panic thoughts.. "What if everyone hates the location? What if they think my dress is ugly/weird/boring/unflattering? What if I don't look like me? What if it pours with rain? What if the families argue?" This is truly not what I want my brain to be doing. Most annoying.

Oh, you found some.

Yeah okay, so he was right. He found some vases we are both happy with, and they are in budget.

I spent months, and he sorted it in an afternoon... sigh...

In other news.. the flowers, they are growing...

 

I think I have now tried almost every version of flower making that doesn't require synthetic fabric.

This one is my favourite, despite me repeatedly saying I wanted soft looking flowers, not silk duponi. It's just looks better, and will hold the shape better when on the dress. So I'll be using dress offcuts to make the flowers for my dress more than likely.

I also have been working away on that bolero shrug.I've doing the ruffle. It has sleeves, back etc. And has been checked it fits more often! Ah well if this one's rubbish I've give up on the idea ;)
