A Long Time No See..


Wow, I didn't realise how long it has been since I blogged anything. I have lost my way with this a bit. Perhaps, although I have still been making things, I didn't think them important enough to share, I don't know. That has changed now.

A couple few weeks ago we had some very good news. My Daughter's Partner of 4 years asked my Husband if he could marry Jenny. Dead old fashioned I know, but really lovely and thoughtful. Of course blessing was given immediately. We both think the world of John and he has felt one of our family for a long time now. We had to keep this secret from my Daughter for 6 WHOLE WEEKS!!!
I got to help John choose a ring, which was lovely, but the engagement was a surprise for Jenny for their fourth anniversary, which just happened to me on  both my Son's and My birthday. Our family is rubbish at spreading celebrations around as not only are our birthdays the same but also my Son's Partner and my Husband share a birthday!

The engaged couple have jumped straight into making plans and the first thing they wanted was cards to ask their intended Bridemaids and Groomsmen if they were up for the task. These are based on ideas they saw on Pinterest.
I also made them this frame to celebrate the day. They love gaming, in the traditional sense, so this seemed appropriate.

I will try to be a more attentive blogger....
