This week my picnic rug carrier was revealed in Craftseller magazine (I think it's in the shops on Monday)...
But much more importantly, this week was also my parents' diamond wedding anniversary (that's sixty years! Which is pretty amazing, however you look at it!). We are having a bit of a get-together today (Sunday, at my house) so this post is being written in advance.
We decided to make things simple and have fish and chips in paper cones (among other things). We thought 1953 newspaper, but couldn't find any free ones, so I went with the theme (as you do) and designed my own. My next job is scanning and printing them, then assembling and diamond-studding them.
Of course. Diamond wedding anniversary, we need diamonds!
I couldn't resist adding some silly touches to the cone (which every family get-together needs, doesn't it?)
and it's all personalised, of course...
I'm also working on some diamond-studded bunting and my youngest daughter is making some diamond-themed cupcakes, which we'll arrange in a big 60. It will be her first-ever attempt at frosted cupcakes so she's taking on quite a challenge!
So, this is a fish and chip party with bling! Does that make us chavs?
And just in case you think I have inadvertently revealed that I have a lot more money than sense, let me tell you the "diamonds" all came from Hobbycraft and I thought they were slightly overpriced...
Hopefully I will have some more photos to show you next week. Meanwhile, I will try to get round your blogs this week but who knows when!?
