Hi!
Feels nice to be back writing things down again, not sure anyone is actually interested in reading my to do lists but it is making me feel like I am doing something for myself not just being a mum!
Had a very tiring week this week though, my fiance has been away with work and I am used to sharing the night wake ups (yes still 2-3 a night at 18 months- booooooo) but obviously couldn't this week so I am ready for the weekend without a doubt!
It has been a few weeks since my last one and I have crossed a few off - mainly finishing my main bunting. Just chairs to go.
I worked out I have cut about 1500 bunting flags in total. This wedding best be good!!!
This is my new list
In other news - yesterday I booked my hen do to Benidorm (classy!) and my honeymoon to Vegas - YESSS!
Very excited!
Have a nice weekend folks

To Do List 27
Hello!
How are you all? I had a lovely long weekend for the bank holiday then ended up having a long weekend due to being knocked down by the dreaded lergy for thursday and friday last week and I still feel pretty rotten - I look even worse!
The bank holiday marked officially 1 year until I marry so all systems go. Working on wedding things feels a priority just now, once it is done I can relax knowing I have everything I need (want!) done. My lovely fiance treated me a to a Cricut Explore Air 2 machine, which is a vinyl/paper cutter that you program off of your phone, it is oh so very clever and will make things at my wedding abolutely lovely (and work out cheaper - I hope!) so I have been playing with that sporadically as well as trying to get bunting done etc.
The machine seems to have done the blogger rounds really well (good marketing ploy there from Cricut) so there is lots of inspiration out there and free resources to try cut costs so I may bore you with some stuff at a later point. Here is my first attempt at a paper flower though
I love it! I have bought some other templates from Etsy as well which I am eager to try out.
I did a mock up of my wedding tables which I am really happy with.
Excuse the creases. I have shipped off the table runners to my future mother in law to hem/sew as she wanted to do something so that has saved me a job - I am happy it has turned out as I want, now to saving jars and bottles and making lots of paper flowers!
I also sewed a little cutlery sleeping bag - Mr B feels I have gone a step too far and totally unnessesary but I really like them.
I have at least 10m of left over fabric that I don't really know what to do with and thought this would add something? If you have any ideas for decorations then please comment!!!
Anyway enough wedding blurb, here is how I did on my to do list since last time

Mainly wedding related but hey ho!
