Currently Craving...

A couple of weeks ago I splashed out and bought these beautiful Salvatore Ferragamo sandals and this weekend I finally got the chance to wear them!

Harrods

Which then got me looking at the whole Ferragamo range and WOW!!  I now want them all!!

Wedding Wednesday - Decoration

When it comes to decorations for a wedding there are almost too many options, it is easy to become overwhelmed.   We're pretty lucky in that our venue really doesn't need much dressing...maybe just some candles and a few vases of flowers, but on my searches I couldn't help, but fall for these beauties!

Inspiration v Motivation

I'm going to be honest I have been struggling the last couple of weeks...I am constantly inspired and have so many ideas of things I want to do, but I am really lacking in motivation to do anything.  Just writing that sentence makes me want to cry...yes I know that sounds dramatic, but every night I go to bed annoyed at how little I have achieved.

I am definitely afraid of failure and I think sometimes I put projects off so I don't fail...if I don't try I can't fail right!?

I need to find a strategy to work through this as at the moment it is making me miserable...

So things I AM going to achieve by the end of this month...

1. Make at least one new cushion for my Etsy shop
2. Design at least 5 new cards
3. Post in the Etsy group I've been invited to join (can you believe it, little old me!)
4. Make candles for the wedding 
5. Blog more!
6. Put either my Etsy or Blog link on Facebook (this is a biggie for me!)

Wedding Wednesday...invitations

Yesterday we posted out our invitations.  After working on them for the last couple of months it was a relief to get them out of the door, but also slightly nerve wracking.  We had put our heart into them...what if people didn't like them!?  We do so I guess that is all that really matters!

our invites lined up and ready for their envelopes...

Whilst we designed our own invites there are so many great resources out there to find your perfect match.  Some good places to start are Etsy and Paperless Post

Fingers crossed our guest will love their invites as much as we do!

Right Now...

Run Forest Run...

Today is a good day, today is the first day in a year that I have been for a run and it felt GOOD!

Up until 2010 I was not a runner, I thought I hated running, and then on a complete whim during a particularly difficult time in my life and watching Run Fat Boy Run I signed up to do the London Marathon - what was I thinking, I could barely run for the bus!?!

Fast forward a year and I completed the London Marathon in 4hours and 52minutes.  To say I was proud of myself would be an understatement, but aside from the feeling of achievement it was the strength that running gave me, both physically and mentally, that was addictive.

During the marathon I suffered some knee pain for which I had 6 months of physiotherapy, during this time I couldn't run and as felt my physical fitness slip away from me I got more and more disheartened and found it harder and harder to get back in the game.

But today that all changed, I set myself the challenge of putting on my trainers...thats all no time, no distance just put on the trainers.  AND. I. LOVED. IT!  I'm Back.

Now for some new kit...

Nike Dri-FIT

If this event hadn't been on the weekend of my Hen Party I would have definitely been there
