Family festivities...

♥ Ceri makes...  managed to finish my wedding bunting just in time for the festivities over the bank holiday weekend!  Looked lovely in the outdoor gazebo even if I do say so myself!


As well as whipping up the bunting a team of us created some wedding cupcakes and my very talented mummyB had the extra important task of making the Fiona Cairns inspired centre piece cake.  It looked lovely at the wedding breakfast held at Bank restaurant in Birmingham...




A second day of wedding celebrations and even more cupcakes were wheeled out! The proud cake making family team...

Wedding bunting...

♥ Ceri makes...  has spent a productive weekend whipping up some wedding bunting ahead of a bank holiday family wedding.  Stocked up on fabric in Tooting yesterday and set to work this afternoon.  To fit with the wedding colour scheme of pruple and turquoise I chose some complimentary plain, gingham and floral fabrics...


To give it a more professional finish I also stocked up on some natural coloured webbing (eBay is excellent for such things and cheaper than most fabric shops).  So now two metres down,  just another eight to go!

Another crafty pop up...

♥ Ceri makes...  nipped to Clapham North for another SW Craft Club pop up summer event,  this time hosted at The Landor pub


Despite some sporadic summer showers I still managed to enjoy one of the outdoor workshops run by Sew Over It.  With a bit of guidance I made some simple red polka dot earrings...




Pleased with my creation I decided to nip into the reasonably recently opened Sew Over It shop and workshop studio just around the corner from the pub.  A lovely studio space with plenty of workshops to suit all,  from the beginner to the more experienced seamstress there really is something for everyone.  Plus lots of crafty kits and pretty sewing accessories,  make sure you make a trip to this hidden gem if you are in the area!
