Flowers for my grandparent's 50th Wedding Anniversary

See the full gallery on Posterous

 

Here are the flowers I put together for my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary. Mum asked me to try and replicate Granny's wedding bouquet, and I used the left over flowers to make a corsage and buttonhole.

The flowers used were white carnations, pink spray carnations, blue hyacinth pips, september flower, pink tulips, and leather leaf.

I really enjoyed wiring up all the hyacinth pips, and I think that the finished objects came out really well. Hopefully my mum will email me with her much better photos!

Day Six: Five people who mean a lot
Day Seven: Four turn-offs
Day Eight: Three turn-ons
Day Nine: Two images that describe your life right now, and why
Day Ten: One confession

A confession.

No one said this was going to be 10 consecutive days.

That could be my confession alone, but I think that would be cheating.

I would like to confess to not feeling myself at the moment. So if you've seen me zoning out when you're talking, or acting oddly, I apologise. Sometimes the black dog appears and you can't fight him off for a bit.

1. Piles of things

At the moment everything is out on the table piling up and gradually being disected.

2. Freedom and wings

Just seeing a glimmering light.

1. I love being in a silent house. It makes me feel calm and still, and I will knit or read in peace.

2. I have read 6 books in the last month.

3. Much as it pains my rational, liberal, Church of England self, I often experience God in a supernatural, charismatic way.

4. I have designs on being Barbara from the Good Life, but worry I would be too lazy to actually be self sufficent. And no, I don't have the dungarees yet.

5. Happiness for me is a house full of friends and family, sat at our table, waiting for our food, talking, arguing and laughing.

6. I have itchy feet. I get bored of places quickly and I want to see new ones. Yet, I never seem to actually go anywhere.

7. I know how to do some odd things. Make a bra out of duct tape, and how to make fizzy jelly being two of them.

8. Libraries, and art galleries, and museums can feel as cosy as my home to me.

9.  I can't sleep unless Tom is in the bed these days.
