Something new from AQM

Well AQM was a complete hoot as always!!  It is always completely lovely to catch up with everyone again and also I love that feeling of it being the last event for the year!  Now I head into full on moving house mode with our big move only a number of days away...  

I will make sure I come back after the move with some before photos of what will become my fabulous new studio over the next couple of months.  I so can't wait!

But in the mean time I thought I had better share with you my two new designs that were revealed at AQM.

First there is a great new handbag called "Springtime Bloom" which has the cutest big flower on the front. I really love this bag and as always have trouble parting with it to be used as a sample...

And then the cutest new quilt made with my yummy "Toy Tales" fabric.  This pattern is a creative card which makes it great on the budget and is the perfect quilt top to whip up in a day.  Cuteness!

Hope you love them and I will be back soon...

Melly.

A Magical Wedding...

I know I have been promising you a BIG post on the wedding... I didn't forget, I promise!  I was just waiting on all of the wonderful photos to come through so I could share a whole lot of my favourite bits!!

Now I have probably already said on here that it was the most amazing day in existence...  Well that is a complete and utter understatement, there are simply not enough wonderful words that could ever adequately explain that day.  Looking through all of the photos has just brought all of the magic right back to me along with lots and lots of warm fuzzies!  

There were so many little things that made the day so magical and here are just a few of them.

There was the amazing venue that we fell in love with the second we laid eyes on it...

The fun and festive bunting everywhere (thanks to my flossy sister for helping with the meters and meters of bunting and mini bunting we made!)...

Pinwheels everywhere!!! Lapel pins and bouquets - I love these to bits and adored making every single one!... 

Walking down the aisle arm in arm with the most amazing daddy this world has ever seen...

My hand made hair piece (another pinwheel of course!)...

Sharing heart felt and cherished vows with my new husband in front of so many loved ones. I chose this photo as the laughter and joy sooooo captures the mood and vibe of such a completely festive day... 

The stunning flowers that my talented mum carefully arranged (can you spot the pinwheels?)...

More pinwheels decorating the stunning venue with their fun brightness...

Too much fun with our amazing Best Man and Maid of Honor...

The most special and amazingly transformed kids a Mum and new Step Dad could hope for. They were so amazing and even shared a beautiful reading during the service... bless!!! 

To the cake that I dreamed up and was then created by a super talented young cake decorater, Amanda from Cake Flair. Oh how I squealed when I saw it come to life!...

The candy bar to be enjoyed by young and old...

And all of the amazing loved ones who celebrated by our sides... 

I love each and every single one of those snippets of joy that made our wedding day so insanely wonderful!!  But the most significant and overriding delight was in joining my life with the man that I adore more than words could ever express.

He is the most amazing gift in my life, more that I could ever have hoped or dreamed for and I am an extremely blessed woman.  Love you my Scotty Dog xx
