The Wedding was Perfect!

Whew!! What a whirlwind! My son got married last week....it was a perfect day, a perfect ceremony, and a perfect couple :)

The wedding was outdoors at a venue called the Shawnessy Barn in Calgary.

It was a very simple, relaxed and intimate ceremony with just the immediate family.

She was a beautiful bride...and my son looked pretty amazing too..


What a wonderful couple!

There was a dinner following. The burlap table runners and chair ties that I sewed  turned out great..

The tables were beautiful... she scattered candles and mason jars filled with flowers on the tables, each with a lantern centrepiece....

The meal was amazing...blackened tuna, lamb shanks, rice pilaf, roasted squash, asparagus! The cater did a fantastic job.

They made dessert themselves ...cookies (she is American, we are Canadian)
OK....if you don't read morris code...the bottom Right hand cookie spells SOS...haha!!

So I added my hand and tried some of these... (they are almost 2" high)

Let me tell you...working with fondant has a steep learning curve! And those little green icing decoration balls...they bounce!! ...all over the kitchen!!! 
Cute though!!

Anyway..off to the lake now to relax and recover !!

Hope everyone is having a great summer! And hopefully I will get back to sewing and blogging soon!!

Morning chuckle

I did get some sewing in yesterday...it was raining. But, I forgot to bring my camera cord, so I can't upload any pictures!! I guess I will save that for another day.

 If you don't follow the Quilting Gallery, (and you should....lots of great stuff over their!) ....but anyway...I thought I would share this from their web site.

Your morning chuckle ( or for some of you , I guess it will be an evening chuckle!!!)

Anyway..have a great day, or night!
