Centrepieces

Apparently we need them. A and I don't really like the ones the venue has on offer but are a bit ambivalent about what we should have instead. A tells me people only want centerpieces if they can flog them at the end of the night! Classy!

This is the inside of our venue.

Or, shall we just put some of our own flowers on the tables?

Flower Fun

A little while back I mentioned that I was planning on buying our flowers from a local farm and putting them together ourselves.  Well, this weekend my sister was visiting so we decided to see if we had any skills whatsoever in the floristry area and this is what we came up with...

We'll have slightly different flowers for the real deal and we need a bit more practice tying the ribbons but overall are pretty confident we can create something that we'll be happy to carry down the aisle. 

Yay! 

It's that time again!

Yep, it's the school holidays. The last few weeks have been crazy so I'm looking forward to some time kick back, relax, collect my thoughts and get ready for the next adventure....the new job!

I'd like to do some more painting but think it may be too cold for it to dry properly. Seriously cold this last week. The poor fish pond has frozen over twice. It's really quite bizarre watching goldfish swim under a layer of ice! So rather than frost, tomorrow I'm hoping to wake up to this....

Hey, a girl can dream! I'd settle for just a sprinkling, c'mon, please?!

If painting is a no-go then I may take on the scarily overgrown BBQ area and get the sledge hammer onto the old brick BBQ. Or maybe continue A's good work removing vines from the back fence so we can get a new one! Now there's a couple of challenges!

Here are some befores...

Wish me luck!
