http://countrysideweddings.blogspot.com/2007/10/bridesmaids-dresses-head-to-head-final.html

For a homespun marriage. Saturday, October 20, 2007. Bridesmaids Dresses Head to Head: THE FINAL. So, what do you do when you have scoured the pattern books, scoured the shop racks, scoured the blogs, the websites and the magazines, tried on many samples 'just to see' with your bridesmaids and finally, achingly, very nearly, got it down to two contenders? You have a head-to-head. Vs Vogue Patterns 8285. Interesting neckline, princess seams, full-ish skirt suitable for heavy silk dupion fabric. The shrug ...

http://countrysideweddings.blogspot.com/2007/11/navypatentleather20smug-bride.html

For a homespun marriage. Wednesday, November 07, 2007. Navy Patent Leather £20=SMUG BRIDE. One job down, 4,218,838 jobs to go. The gorgeous loveliness above ticks every box I had in my head for the older girls:. Comfortable heel height without stilleto or kitten heel (bleurgh). Round toe without scary points or harsh angles. Ankle strap for comfort and ease of style. Of course, at £20 a pair, these sort out the Sister and the Best Friend in one fell swoop. The fact that they are now online.

Countryside Wedding: December 2013

For a homespun marriage. Monday, December 16, 2013. Goes the Birthday Girl! It’s been four years and my precociously fabulous daughter turned four last week…. And what does a precociously fabulous 4 year old request? A Cow Cake of course. A bit of sugarpaste, a bit of chopstick action to support ears and horns and done! Tasty too, if I do say so myself!

Countryside Wedding: January 2013

http://countrysideweddings.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

For a homespun marriage. Monday, January 28, 2013. Fresh Modern and Fabulously Made! Having been brought up on a rounded diet of dressmaking and quilts, I have a healthy respect for the traditions and stories behind patterns and structures of patchwork. Living around the corner from Bird in Hand. And having a quilting teacher for a mum ensured I am well versed in the Bear’s Paws. And Double Weddings Rings. Abundant in textiles history. Owl by Flying Blind on a Rocket Cycle. Square Lawn by Sew Much To Do.

Countryside Wedding: Crafting and Copycats

http://countrysideweddings.blogspot.com/2014/03/crafting-and-copycats.html

For a homespun marriage. Wednesday, March 05, 2014. Busy busy and trying not to be busy…. Bump’s due any day now so my version of nesting involves hiring a cleaner to blitz the house and busying myself with sewing, knitting and crochet projects instead. This is my Victory Jumper. An attempt to use 9 balls of Debbie Bliss Rialto 4ply in one pattern… Desperately hoping I don’t run out of yarn as this is supposed to be stash-busting rather than stash-swapping. Lovely pattern from the Royal Sisters blog here.

A recent trip to Ikea found me impressed by (and not a little bit expectant of) the range of crafty nods throughout the store…. The powers that be have noticed, it seems, that their various storage solutions are perfect for the home crafter – and have also increased their stock of specific craft supplies too…. Repurposed for craft materials…. Mock craft room in a bureau – Hemnes. Applied to a plain cushion…. Soon, too…. Simple t...
