Handmade Monday 11

So I missed last weeks Handmade Monday, but managed to complete some work ready for this week.If you are one of those with itchy crafty fingers head over to Wendy's Blog - 1st unique gifts - and share with the rest of us what you have been up to recently.

Its been a rather stressful week. Not that my other half would think so. I have started to have some serious thinking with regards to our Wedding and how I want to decorate. We've changed our plans so many times and for so many reasons, that I am beginning to wonder if it's even worth it. That said, today we went to the Registry Office to give our notification and the date is booked - the day before we fly out for our honeymoon. Ever had that feeling that something is going to go wrong with those plans? That will be me until August now. Although I did laugh when I was asked the question "Are you related to each other in any way..." I bloody hope not!!! ;)

But on a brighter note, I saw these items in a garden centre going back towards last Christmas. I wasn't sure why I bought them, but the decision has been made that they will be decorated and incorporated into the general décor for the Wedding. I spent a couple of hours on ebay spending money on silk flowers, ivy, black and red butterflies, ribbon, organza... These may not look like much now, but just you wait until I've done with them. Even I have a girly side ;)

But only a little girly side...

Just to prove that point, I finally finished my 6 designs. Only took me two weeks longer than predicted *sigh*.

Now you may only get this if you've seen Disney's Bambi, and even then the joke is rather loose since my little monster is not black and white, but rather purple. However, "That's not a flower, that's a skunk" kept springing to mind when I looked at her so hey ho. 

This is Skunk - a lover of all things natural (-ly plastic and shiny). A hoarder of all that lies on the floor...

And this guy was created when it was a very clear night outside - he ended up with stars in his eyes. A seeker of fame and fortune. A 'blinding' star on the raise - Terry.

(Yeah... I meant as in Chocolate Orange too...)

So here's the gang:
