The wedding invites are all done now - evening invites too, and we have a good idea of what we're doing for the table plans and place cards. Can't get stuck into the Order of Service yet as
a) it's a civil ceremony and may not be called that
b) we don't quite know what music/readings etc. are being used
I have a few ideas of how we could make these up though - I don't want to use the mulberry paper to print on if we don't have to - I think vellum would work better. Could back the cards with the fancy paper and then print onto vellum and attach with ribbon. Obviously I need to check with my client.
I posted some pictures of what I had done so far on my facebook page, in case you want to check them out.
Other than that I've had a couple of craft events. Both sadly went really badly - and sales were as minimal as they possibly could be. It's a shame, as I spent a lot of time thinking up new recipe ideas for bath things. As everything is hand-made and wrapped it's time-consuming too.
As you can see, I had quite a lot of stuff to take. Both events were for good causes and had more people come along and bought stuff, the charities would have benefitted, but c'est la vie as they say...
I suppose the good side of it is that for the next few events, I don't need to make anything really - may get back to the jewellery and the cards, but people just don't seem to want to spend money. At least, not on craft items. Just ipads, iphones and flat screen tellies! :-)
Apart from killing time at craft events I've been making a few cards for people. Didn't photograph them all unfortunately but those that I did are visible through the facebook link above. Partly made cards out of necessity as I need to budget, but also because they were for close friends and family.
Not sure how busy things'll get later in the year as I am due to go back to college in September so I really need to get started on getting my brain back in gear for some academia, reading some papers and drafting some of my dissertation. I guess just watch this space!
