Update

My plans for the day.
This is the latest dolls awaiting faces and dresses. They look cute don't they?
and the next batch of pencils ready to have the holders made for them.
Sewing sewing and more sewing. That is my plan for the day. I don't think i will be moving from this room any time soon. I am glad that the sun is shining, makes the room lovely and bright.

Help needed

These two views of pencil rolls from By Small Means should be a start to whet your appetite.
Crayon Roll pattern from Skip To My Lou

Pencil roll instructions from Wet Oatmeal Kisses

and i am sure that there are more patterns and ideas out there. Now for the reason for the rolls.
Wet Oatmeal Kisses is having a campaign and wants to have 500 made for charity. Think you can make some? go to her blog to get more details. They have the pencils, they need the holders..

Wedding Plans Continues...

I forgot to add in my last post about the wedding. She will Still have it at Hill End, only a small ceremony and one in Melbourne too. So in effect Two weddings.
She has 3 weeks left of Uni, then we will get on with more details like THE DATE!!

We also have question. Etiquette, Wedding gifts, My daughter and her husband to be already have furniture in storage for a house, (they are living in a garage/shed at the moment) not as bad as it sounds, like a granny flat almost. They have a bedroom with the desk and a kitchen sink, a shower and a toilet. They are waiting until they know where her partner will be posted before they look for somewhere to rent. Any ideas on what they can do? that is a question that is being asked.

My nephew who is living with us at the moment is getting married in February and will on the other hand need stuff for their place as yet they don't have one!! They would like to set up a registry or something naming stuff that they will need I think that setting up a blog page like my daughter has only for invited guests with a list that they can pick from. The guests then can e-mail them and let them know what they would like to choose. the item then gets ticked off from the box. Any large items can be jointly bought by groups, eg, brothers and sisters together get an item.

Has anyone been to a wedding recently, or have gotten married? I would love to hear your ideas.

Plans have Changed

Anyone who is doing or planning a wedding can understand this, Plans Change!!!
Originally my daughter was going to get married at Hill End in Sydney then realized quite unrealistic and very expensive for family and friends to get there,
Left right and outside of barn. So Plan two.
Barn in Bundoora Park set it up from this

to this!
Just an idea at the moment. but my daughter is keeping a book on the events as they are happening (or not) like a journal so to speak so that down the road they can see how they got from one idea to the final result. The wedding is so much more than just the day.

Some ideas in decorating from my Niece in Law is that correct terminology?
cool ideas.
Bundoora Park Church
Love it and can hold up to 60 people.
Just the right size.

Where ever you go in Bundoora you get nice views

lovely lovely trees and ponds and wildlife and open spaces. It is really talking to me...
More on this adventure later and keeping you up to date on the wedding stuff.
