Well, Saturday was the big day.
The day I had been working towards for a very long time.
I felt a strange mixture of equal parts terror and equal parts excitement, the only other time I have ever felt like that was on my wedding day!
But I am so pleased that I did it, and that is down to my mate Sam who held my hand and gave me a kick up the bum (in the nicest way of course!)
I also had the expert help of Miss Debs (in her stunning apron).
Princess Dawn also helped out big time.
And of course Louise (pictured here ceremoniously cutting the Easter choccy cake baked by my wonderful Mommy).
Thanks Louise for inviting me and actually believing that there could be a Mrs B Workshop!
Who'd have thought!
The ladies of fabulousness quickly got down to work, (after I had waffled on and completely not followed my carefully plotted plan!)
I could not believe how much work was produced in one day!
I also met some of my bloggy friends, including Miss Moon On A Stick
(Blog 'under cover spy' names are used here as I know some of you like to remain ladies of mystery!)
Miss Lazy Daisy Jones also paid us a visit!
And Miss Crafting Not Cleaning!
'Miss! Miss!'
Confession time!
I loved your dress so much Louise I had to buy one!
Thanks for being so kind and understanding!
We didn't have a laugh ALL day, honest!
Look at these Nannas, hanging out to dry!
A multitude of beautiful work started to emerge.
And my heart swelled with pride...I tell you, it was emotional!
Loving the sandal glitter socks combo!
Work it girl friend!
Such a lovely spread!
Where there's mess there's genius!
Time for tiffin!
Cool Nannas!
Work those tassles Nanna!
So angelic!
(Ha!)
I want to go to Cornwall!
Oh no...time to go!
Sob!
(Can we have a lock in?)
Sam very kindly also took photos throughout the day so I shall blog more in a little while.
(Hope you don't mind!)
So, many thanks to Hope And Elvis for your wonderful hospitality and kindness.
And for those of you that could join me on this crazy cake- fuelled day, thank you for your patience, humour and creativity.
You all rocked da house!

ReplyDeleteYou are a sweetie x
DeleteLooks like so much fun. Now time for you to publish a how to book!
ReplyDeleteThat has always been a dream of mine....but I think it would be more of a leaflet than a book! X
DeleteWow - that just looks like one hell of a day. I'm being a bad girl and have the green eyed monster in my head for I wish I could have been there. I think I spy someone from my neck of the woods in fair Norwich there too.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had much laughter, best way to cure those nerves.

What fantastic photos I grinned all the way through, you all look like a bunch of big school girls, one holding up her hand, one sneaking a look to see what the 'girl' next to her is doing... it looks like it was a fantastic day for everyone and so much fun, congratulations on your first workshop, hope it's the first of many! Hadn't heard about Hope and Elvis before, thank you.
