Our Wedding - Reception

Alrighty, we're getting pretty close to the end of the wedding posts.  This posts is a few of my favourite photos from the formalities part of our reception.  I have decided not to post photos from the latter part of the evening as there are a lot of photos of our family and friends and I am not sure if all of them would be happy with these photos being posted on the blog.  So here are a few of my favourites from the first part of our evening.

Alrighty, so I have one last post that I want to do to show you guys some of the details and some things that we made for the wedding.  I am really happy with how everything looked on the day and it wouldn't have happened without a lot of help from my mum and my bridesmaid Mahnee and of course Corey.  Those photos coming up soon!

Day 6, 7 & 8

Day 6 - Makes You Smile

Day 6 - Makes You Smile

Nothing makes me happier than new balls of yarn waiting to be made into something.  Especially when they are in such delicious colours as these.  I won these three balls of yarn from Plus 3 Crochet a little while ago along with some fabulous goodies she made herself.  I was very lucky!!!

Roxy is most definitely my favourite thing to take photos of. She is just too cute that I can't resist getting the camera out whenever she is around.

Day 8 - Your Sky

This is a shot of the sky while we were at the Farmer's Markets this morning.  This was taken from the spot where we enjoyed breakfast.

First Project of 2012

My first project for 2012 was a super quick and easy one.  I made it in just over an hour while watching tv.  It is that simple and easy to do!

It's a cinch headband

What is it you ask?  It's a headband...

It's a cinch headband

Pattern: It's A Cinch Headband
Yarn: Moda Vera Marvel 8 ply
Needles: 6mm
Time Taken: 1.25 hours

It's a cinch headband

It is basically just a simple garter stitch headband with some yarn wrapped around to cinch it in.  You can wear it to the side but I like to wear it on top so it looks kind of like a turban.  This probably isn't the best project to be making since it's summer on the Gold Coast but it was a nice little project to get me back into the swing of making things.  I realised the other day that my yarn stash has started creeping up again. I think I need to start my stash busting efforts up again.

Our Wedding - Post Ceremony

I thought it was about time I added some more wedding photos.  These are a selection of my favourites from after the ceremony.  There are quite a few so be warned you may want to grab yourself a cup of tea before you begin.

Michelle did such a great job on our photos that I am having a very hard time choosing my favourites.  We got around 1100 photos from her which I cut down to 428 when I loaded them onto facebook for our family and friends to see.  Then I have cut them down even more for these posts.  The thing that scares me is having to pick our favourites to print. How the hell are we meant to choose??? The next post will be our reception photos which again is going to take me ages to cut down to stay tuned.
