This past year has been the busiest, most stressful, exciting year so far. Three years of hard work is due to finish on Friday and 18 months of planning will materialise into the most amazing day in a months time. <br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Planning a wedding and working part time...oh and rescuing a naughty little beagle isn't the best combination whilst finishing your degree, but it's been incredible despite the added stress! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's a little snippet of what has been happening the past few months... I'll be back to blogging really soon with lots of embroidery and wedding posts! For now it's back to my career file and sewing for the next few days. </div>

It's official...I will become Mrs Harding on the 29th June 2013, 3 days after our 10 year anniversary! The Save the Dates have all gone out, as the majority of our guests live miles and miles away and a few overseas. We decided on vintage Cornish postcards, for a cute and simple little memo.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
As of next Saturday we will be half way though our engagement! </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
We have three bridesmaids dresses and three suits hanging on our walls (thank goodness for picture rails!), boxes of favours, shoes, bridal prettiness and wedding decorations taking up the sewing room and cupboard space. Our invitations and paper goods are designed and ready to go to the printers in a few months time and things are slowly but surely being booked and deposits paid. I keep imagining walking up the aisle with my Dad, past all my favourite people and seeing James waiting for me. It's a pretty amazing thought, especially when dissertation research is all too much. </div>

I've been on a bit of a go slow with organising myself, my final degree year summer prep plan, and wedding DIY plan. Today though I dug out my beautiful <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/62081277/octopus-to-do-list-notepad-by"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">to do list</span></a> pad, from BoyGirlParty and filled a couple of pages. It's time to get organised! I may be a little excited at this prospect, having all aspects of my life neatly filed away, but once all the dreary tasks and planning have been sorted I get a whole week with my mum! She is over from Austria and it will be the first time I have seen her since before being engaged! Six months has flown by, and although we have done heaps of planning for the big day (now under a year away!) it hasn't felt quite real, however that will all change on wedding week! My mum hasn't even see my Wedding dress! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have had to get a sample sent from the headquarters in London, to a Bridal boutique just outside of Plymouth, that will be available for one day as it is being taken for a shoot straight after! It's been quite a palaver (for the store owner!) but it saves us travelling 6 hours! We also have our amazing caterer coming to our house for a canape and wine tasting along with the best man, and we will be having a venue visit too, as my mum hasn't seen where we will be tying the knot either. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've been working on some special photo shoot prop/accessories this week (whilst getting over a horrible cold) and the Save the Dates are almost all done! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I thought I'd share a little peek at some wedding details, so firstly here is our photographer, <a href="http://alipaul.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;">Ali Paul</span></a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A lovely (<a href="http://hanwee123.blogspot.co.uk/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">mega talented</span></a>) girl on my course told me she had an awesome photographer boyfriend who does weddings, and sent me a shameless plug...I'm soooo glad she did. Ali's photo's are beyond beautiful. He has a soft, natural and somewhat ethereal style and is so laid back, which will be great on the day! </div>

Last week I applied for a great competition found on <a href="http://www.wedmagazine.co.uk/elizabeth-armitage-hens-photoshoot-competition.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">Wed</span></a> Magazine, to win a hen makeover and photoshoot with the lovely Elizabeth @ <a href="http://elizabetharmitage.com/wedding-photography-devon/home/80"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">Elizabeth Armitage Photography</span></a>. The prize included hair and makeup, for the Bride and two maids, in her new Exeter Studio and an A4 book of images. To enter you had to give details of your hen party/photo shoot ideas so I went about gathering images and making a mood board on photoshop! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I no longer have a chief Bridesmaid, so I am planning my own hen night, which is perfect as I do love to plan and I'm super excited for it! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, on Tuesday I found out I WON! I never win anything and now I won a hen do with my two beautiful maids!! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Elizabeth rang me today and she sounds so amazingly lovely, creative and excited! We both have soooo many ideas, and I can't wait to get planning with her. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I won't share the mood board yet as it'll give away the hen 'theme' to all my chickens, but no tiara's, penis straws or party buses (no offence to those of you who have that but it's not very me). Here's one of her previous Hens...</div>

I made my dear friend two veils, the first was more structured, silk, no beads but a few ivory cream pearls on the netting. Then her dress arrived, terrible and we managed to find another, thank god for Ellen at <a href="http://www.lavender-rose.co.uk/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">Lavender Rose Bridal</span></a>, Penryn. This is the second birdcage, and the one she wore on her wedding day. The groom loved it, and she looked stunning. </div>

It was a pretty rushed project for me. We had 4/5 weeks, minus 2 for figuring out what I wanted to do/finishing off toddler dress for exhibition. Add in a few sick days and crazy wedding drama for our besties that involved scouting Cornwall for a new dress 3 weeks before the wedding and I was pretty flustered and behind.<br />
I decided the best way forward for the commercial interiors brief was to do what excites me...<br />

I took the *megabus to London in April to visit my lovely little sister in the big city. *<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">never again!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had a lovely few days together, although I was pretty shattered, but we managed to get a bit of shopping done in Portobello, sight see, giggle and catch up. We also jumped on the train to visit my future family in law, and showed my sister my wedding dress! Here's some snippets from our trip...</div>

Was I asleep from March till June? It feels like it's been a matter of weeks, but I've been so busy that time has run away from me. From then to now there has been a trip to London, two wedding dresses bought (only one is mine!), three deadlines met and gone, 3 birthdays in our house, and one wedding!<br />
<br />
So I think I'll start from the place I left off...<br />
<br />
Here is the finished Baby Dress! Well toddler, age 2-3 but anything mini to me is baby! I presented to the lovely Isolde and Josie of <a href="http://www.thethreadproject.co.uk/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">the Thread Project</span></a> and now it's hanging in my sewing room, wanting a little person to wear it. It was a labour of love, entirely hand embroidered, hand stitched neck, and sleeves, with teeeeny tiny stitches and fully lined.<br />

I was still working an hour and a half after it, when the head of design came around the corner! She was fine and lovely and my freaking out subsided, to oh well, it's a work in progress! The bottom of the dress has 80% of the embroidery left to be sewn and then it all needs to be put together to make the Oh so pretty party dress after Easter. I guess a complete redesign three days before the deadline was a little optimistic. </div><div class="" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">The first two photos are of the final design before re design! The little semi circles are the sleeves, and I made the buttons which were then turned into hair clips for the new design! (see below) </div><div class="" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">the sewing due to the tiny scale was painful, but so fun. I'm off to the city (Truro!) to have a floral consultation (squeeeaaal!) and will buy lots more mustard thread to complete. </div><div class="" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br />

After the teal dyeing went wrong I decided not to dye at all!<br />
I chose a dull palette of threads, from my bright and pretty colour palette. Why?! Because I panicked and rushed my design, thinking it would look great. But as I was sat sewing at 11pm in my cute little room last night, staring at all the thread I knew it looked kind of horrid. Denial denial! Carry on sewing...</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Today with my little sleeves and my buttons all done, I got to work on my yoke bib. I popped my name on the tutorial list and cracked on. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">My brilliant tutor told me...the colours were DRAB, and she wouldn't buy it. The worst thing?! I TOTALLY agreed! And she was also right how the colours looked like Brownies! As memories of wearing a mustard jumper and brown sash came flooding back I wondered what the hell was I thinking?! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">So......after a dog walk in the sun, cutting the grass, washing, power cleaning and buying tickets to see my baby sister in London, (megabus = more money for wedding shopping!) I'm getting my head together to redesign. I need to make it fun, bright and something a stylish mummy like my tutor would want to buy for their little girl!! OH and the deadline is Friday. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

I measured (sneakily) 2-3 year old dresses in a large High street department store this week, to see the average length (which works out at 45cm from neck to hem if you were wondering!) as it was looking more like a Christening gown than a S/S mock dress.<br />
I'm now trying to get the perfect teal shade to dye the bottom of the actual garment. It's going to be a long afternoon tomorrow, hopefully it will go smoothly and I will finally be ready to embroider!<br />

I've made my toile for a girls smock dress, age 2-3 years. I worked on the pattern for the frill cap sleeves with the head of Textile Design. We're getting pretty carried away with the finishing and pattern making, but it's great that she knows I love making and is 'allowing' me this, as we are textile designers not fashion students. I really want to blur the line as much as I can!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I'm pretty torn between a cream & peach ombre dip dyed dress or peach & coral, but I think having the base neutral will allow the colours to really 'pop' in the embroidered designs. We shall see! </div><br />

I've been posting on our little family wedding blog constantly, so this one has been a little neglected. I can't wait to share all the lovely wedding things and developments! It's so sooo excited!</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A quick little update on our plans...we have a photographer, venue, registrar, marquee, DRESS, almost 2 of the 3 bridesmaid dresses, a special commission, and our cake designed already! I have a long list of really fun and pretty DIY projects to do over the Easter and Summer breaks, so that everything is boxed and ready to go, so it doesn't get in the way of dissertation writing and degree show sewing!</div><div style="text-align: justify;">All of our wedding colours in our palette are coming together perfectly and it's a perfect mix of both me and James, which, after all...is what a wedding and marriage is all about!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I thought I'd share some embroidery from my last project which I am further developing into a garment in my current one.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We were given the brief from <a href="http://www.thethreadproject.co.uk/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">The Thread Projec</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">t</span>, to take the traditional Lambani embroidery and make it relevant to the western world whilst putting our own spin on it, for the interior market.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I decided to use fruit as my 'theme' and inspiration, creating a bright, bold, fun and modern take on their tradition. Bananas, melons, kiwi, oranges and blueberries! </div><br />

We have 18 months until the big day, where we will celebrate our decade together and the start of our marriage. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">So far we have a venue and photographer, which makes everything a lot less daunting (except the dress hunt!) but the biggest stress I have is organisation; alongside my degree! My time management is getting better but chatting to my sister on skype all afternoon and blogging isn't exactly writing my essay or doing contextual and visual research. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">We took a little trip across the Tamar to try and find a wedding planner, filofax organiser at the weekend so everything could be perfectly filed and jotted down, out of my head, and managed before starting class again next week. We found one wedding organiser that was beyond ugly and tiny Filofaxes that were £30 upwards. So I decided to buy £4 worth of filofax inners consisting of a diary and business card insert and made one! I used an old Enid Blyton book, book rings, card, paper and plastic wallets, antique Austrian lace (that was given to me!) and needle and thread. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">I love it, it has everything I could possibly need, with room to make additions and it's personal to us. I just hope I don't loose it! </div><br />

We decided not to do big presents and instead I made some stockings, and we brought little gifts to make each other smile. We had a lovely walk, and play with Monty and the beach was pretty sparse. James kept getting funny if someone walked past, but we found a little private patch around the corner from a waterfall, set up the beach blanket and opened our stockings. It was the first year I didn't feel/pre open them. (I'm terribly impatient!) He pre-warned me not to, and I joked sarcastically the night before at the pub that there's probably a ring box in there!</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It was lovely having little surprises, and I reached for my last present in the tip of the stocking toe and pulled out a tiny oval present. I opened it to find a beautiful old tin trinket box, and stared at it for a while, wondering if I should open it, or if it was just a pretty little box stocking filler. I opened it...and there was my engagement ring!</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I was shocked, repeated are you kidding me over and over, and James got onto his knee and said "Of course it's the right time, It's always been the right time, Will you marry me?" I was speechless and kissed him, and he said "you haven't said yes yet!" So I said "Yes of course I will marry you!" and said Oh my god about a million times, he popped the ring on my finger and I had a grin from ear to ear.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> It was so magical, the perfect proposal. We took it all in, and played with Monty and left to make all our phone calls! Driving through Cornwall isn't the best for signal! As we put the radio on Leona Lewis' a Moment like this was playing, which we laughed so hard too and the perfect sunshine turned to rain as we drove past the most perfect rainbow. It couldn't have been anymore special!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaxePEHjeOJ1ffODAAAzgQohepwfZgjQsoBdRBBW29jvyl0IMjy00YDT3gMKY3A4TtxcnkdYtJ1OjaA1_cOvMisrUMGyZ3XH5sA-Wb17JdNmyyEGTfiE0Kxn9Sh1u-gRVZPnN8UFXOuzI/s1600/SAM_0304+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I've really missed photoshop. I wanted something pretty and fresh, whilst maintaining my style. Peach and grey is my favourite colour combination at the moment, (as you will soon see from the bedroom makeover) and of course mustard! </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Thanks to Katrina over at Pugly Pixel for the template download. Her blog is so amazing, great tutorials, inspiration and everyday blogging. I feel pretty happy with my modifications, once I'd worked things out, goodness knows how she does it! </div><br />
Hope you like the new look!<br />

Our first brief for the second year was for the Hand and Lock 2012 competition brief. We had a choice of three mini briefs to choose, with the theme of celebration. I chose 'Association D'ermites' which talks of desert hermit, silvery egrets, hyper modern and authentic, metallic, gems, midnight blue, sunset red, bright whites and delicate. I decided on the Circus for my celebration theme, focusing on the glamour of the 30s in depression America. Here are some pages from my sketchbook and my final samples. I was ill for a big chunk of the project, a lot of late nights catching up, and trying to angle my dripping nose away from the silk fabric! Did I mention I was hooked on all things Twilight?! The soundtrack, the movies, it was a sewing twiathlon on repeat!</div>Now onto project two....India!!<br />

It has to be! omg omg!' staring straight at him as if he couldn't see me, as james went back to reading the airline magazine. Now i'm not even that big a fan, or a fan at all! I mean I watched him on X Factor, i like singing to his songs like a looser in the car but that's about it. However as soon as I see him walk past us on the confined plane with his cute little hat I get all ridiculous like a teen fan! (could have been the hysterical tiredness/sadness of missing my family that made me go a little crazy!) </div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">So anyway...for the whole of the flight I kept turning around to stare at him, what I could see, and stared a little more whilst rummaging for my kindle in the overhead storage! At which point Mr Olly was taking a nap on his coat listening to music, maybe himself?! James found me utterly ridiculous, especially when he asked me to name one of his songs and I couldn't! whooops! Anywho, I tried to take sneaky shots and laughed at his band/dancers(?) sleeping, but failed miserably on the photos. I could have asked for one, after all he was stood shoulder to shoulder to me! But I was too much of a 'star struck' pansy! I was pathetic! So these are the few terrible photos I do have. I also saw his dancer friend skipping to the toilet whilst he followed...James refused to follow them to ask for a photo!

I do love that 'going home' now means boarding a plane to Austria! We had a great time although it went very quickly.Vienna as always was beautiful. It smelt amazing too, all the sausage and spices. Their rum hot choc was a definite winner! </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Our 'Christmas day' consisted of a trip to the Schonbrunn Palace Christmas market, a relaxing afternoon at the thermal spa with my mum whilst my Dad and possibly James cooked dinner. We ate, drank, opened presents and watched the saddest film since Marley and me...Hachiko. I was a crying mess. A puppy mummy mess. Thanks to Dad for bringing the festivities to a crying end! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

They were early...I was un showered with a toilet brush in my hand....and a complete breakdown followed before I even said hello! Mid cry to my sister (post shower) i noticed Monty, on the day bed.. in the sewing room...eating something. Yup you guessed it my first finished sample!!! More tears, yelling and screaming happened and my sister and Jordan went to the pub. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Take two, I was ready, they were on time and we were all so excited! (even with a slightly puffy face from the crying!) We had a lovely weekend, went to the beach, had dinner and saw Breaking Dawn Part 1!!!!! (I don't need to tell you all how incredible it is!!!) I even walked into the front room to see my sister and her lovely boyfriend sat on the sofa trying to make mini felt beads!! My heart melted and I realised just how lucky I was to have people who loved me even through my crazy! London feels far too far away, and I wish for more weekends like this (except the crying!) </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
