A well deserved break

Thanks guys for your support. I still feel like crap so I've taken the day off work.

I'm honestly starting to freak out about getting into shape for the wedding considering its only a little over 6 weeks away. ahhhh!!!!!! so not being able to exercise is frustrating.

The dress is in the process of being made and I'm crossing fingers and toes that it turns out ok (and turns up in time).

Once I can breath properly again, I'm going to be working out and dieting like a celebrity getting ready to hit the red carpet. I'll keep you updated with posts and pics so stay tuned.

Tired & Sick with the flu...poor me!

I feel terrible, I have gone through the first couple of stages of having the flu (the ones where you think you got away with just a cold) but now I'm looking for a knife to cut my head off. I HATE being sick with flu.

Cue the violins.

Change of Address

We've moved.

Can't get a cat because of body corporate rules.

It sucks.

Nuff said.

DIY Fabric Bridal Bouquet

I  had already decided that I didn't want to spend much money on flowers for the wedding. Without a wedding party it seems silly to get a bouquet from a professional and waste money unnecessarily. So I was just going to get some flowers from the market and wrap some ribbon around them myself the day before the wedding. That was until I saw this gorgeous fabric button bouquet on Etsy...

And it got me thinking...maybe I could make my own. So, I grabbed on old camisole, needle and thread and this is how my 'test' flower turned out...

I just got on old cami I was going to chuck out and simply cut circles out of the cami and used some of the lace trim and beads from it as well to get an idea of how it might look. 

I would just need to buy some fabric (perhaps in pastels), lace and buttons/beads, florist wire and ribbon and I could make my own bouquet as well as the button holes and corsage for Scott and our parents.

What do you think? Charming, personal touch for the wedding day or just cheap and tacky?
