The Royal Wedding True Love....

Oh my, what a magical day it has been for me to watch the Royal wedding of William and Kate....

The utterly adorable dress...

And like others have mentioned too, perhaps a little influenced by the bridal gown worn by Grace Kelly for her 1956 wedding to Ranier III of Monaco, and like Catherine too, she was a commoner who married into royalty.

And I thought the maid-of-honour, Pippa's dress looked so elegant, understated, and very upto date and modern.

And after the lovely service, HRH Duchess of Cambridge looking stunning, as did her charming Prince emerging from Westminster Abbey.

And of course The Kiss....

 

 

 

 

Being an olde romantic, yes my mascara did run a little, I think it was the way William looked at Kate as she arrived at the altar, with such love in his eyes. My heart tells me that they have a genuine love for one another and I truly wish them all the very best for a happy and healthy future together.

Giveaway Winner And A Little UJ Love....

Well done to Sue from Vintage From The Village who has won the Rosie Flo Fashion Show I wish you could all have won but alas there can only be one winner. Well done Sue, I shall pop it in the post for you very soon.

Seemingly there is some royal wedding coming up ;0) I had wanted to handmake an array of UJ beauties, but time just flies by and I always seem to be chasing my tail, so thus far, have only got round to making one UJ cushion. Though she is quite a cutie I think....

I love the use of bobble trim on cushions, though it is not the cheapest of trims, so I do tend to use is quite sparingly, but just love the effect. The London inspired fabric is pretty cool too I think....

Oh and I did make a little UJ ring cushion for the soon to be Royal couple....

Well alright, not for THE Royal couple, but was handmade by myself to be popped in a wonderful Royal Wedding ebay charity auction that has been organised by a lovely crafter. Many other ladies have got involved and each has knitted a member of the royal wedding party. You can see the Archbishop here Prince Charles here and William and the Queen here Not being the bestest of knitters, I plumed for making the ring cushion, and thought I would give it a UJ twist. I can't wait to see the auction up, hopefully today at some point, and all money raised is going to the Japan Earthquake relief fund, so all in a good cause too.

Is holiday time here, so hoping for one or two family jollies. Goodness I have got so confuddled with half term, everyone has seemed to be breaking up at different times. So if you have had your half term hope it was a good one, and if, like me it is coming up to holiday time, enjoy!!
