Tissue paper pom-poms

For our friends Liz and Dilly's wedding, I made about fifty tissue paper pom-poms.  Some were hung inside the marquee from chandeliers strung with bunting, and the rest were hung in the branches of the tree-lined avenue outside, along with jars of candles.  The instructions for how to make them are best explained on the Martha Stewart website.

 

 

Liz's wedding quilt

My friend Liz is getting married, and at her hen weekend in Bath we each made a square for a patchwork wedding quilt for her.  Her maid of honour Anna contacted lots of family all over the world who also made squares.  I then had the job of sewing them all together to create this quilt.  It's full of stories and memories and hopefully is an heirloom itself now!

1st anniversary - map confetti picture

For our wedding, I made little organza bags full of homemade confetti that I'd cut out of old maps with a heart-shaped cutter. This picture used a bag I'd saved as a keepsake to make a first anniversary present for my amazing wife Lu, as the first anniversary is 'paper'!
