And they said it would not last

This week end we will be here





Because on 21st of April 1962 we did this

How wrong they were.

A small family wedding (37 people)my sister and my best friend Margaret were my bridesmaids, hubbys brother was the best man and yes looking at the pic you can see 3 pairs of bare legs the best man wore a kilt :)

Mum made and iced the cake and my aunts and Mums friend made the wedding breakfast.   Smoked Salmon pate, Ham and Chicken Salad and Sherry Trifle.

Honeymoon was 1 night in a very posh hotel in Inverness ( a wedding gift from hubbys Aunt who was the managers secretary) and  the best man picked us up the next morning and we had a few days in his spare room as he lived by the sea.

Now 50 years, 3 sons, 6 grand children later I think we may say "It lasted"

Baby knits

When I read about these babies here I just had to get my pins out and here are the results.   The pattern on Dawns blog is easy to do and I got a top and hat out of a 100 grm ball of DK. Could you help?

Thanks for looking and as always leave me a message so I know you have been

clarity yellow challenge

The march Clarity Charity Challenge was to use only the colour Yellow with white, not my most favourite colour but since it was a challenge I set too and this is one of the three I made.
I decided that gold was yellow so I paper pieced the stunning Barbara Gray stamp " Velvet" I think her name is, (I bought her at the SECC a couple of years ago) in a dull metalic card and a toning paper from the papermania collection and added a border of the wrought iron circle last months stamp.

Hope you like it and thanks for visiting
