Better Late Than...

    It's been far too long since I've written anything.  But mostly because we've been pretty busy.  Two moves, a new job for Mr, plus a new baby and we got married.  So both writing and my crochet habit kind of got pushed aside.  Since I'm a little rusty, I'm just popping in to say hi for today.  That, and to post a few shots from the last little while :)

Traditional Celtic Handfasting Ceremony July 20, 2013

Hay Bales and Smooches
Our wedding was outside, on the hottest day of summer. No large bridal party, just us and our girls.  It was fantastic, and we couldn't be happier. The picture on the left is of our traditional celtic handfasting ceremony, I braided 13 colours of ribbon together and our hands were bound with it. It's where the phrase "tying the knot" originates from, and it was lovely.  My grandmothers' (who is no longer with us) hummingbird pin and wedding ring were attached, as was his grandmothers' wedding ring.  Just a way for them to be there when they physically couldn't.  Our seats were hay bales, as was our backdrop decor.  Complete with a little wooden shoe planter because his family is Dutch.  We has a great day surrounded by family, smiles and sunshine.
Hungry Caterpillar Photo Prop - Available in my Etsy Shop

I've been picking away at some crochet over the last little while, like the caterpillar photo prop, as well as a turtle shell and these cute owl hats (below).  Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
