Just Married!

…Or, rather, just over 100 days married. :-p

But this is the reason why I’ve not updated for a while:

Yup, we tied the knot :-) And the above finished and framed piece is one part of my wedding present to my beloved hubbie. Since then, of course, we’ve been away on honeymoon and are now settling into married life — and I am finally picking up my stitching again!

This piece was started on 28th March and finished on the 2nd April, at which point it went for framing (which added on an extra month). Luckily, of course, it was all ready before the day itself. Just. Another Lizzie*Kate piece, it was stitched on 28ct Zweigart Cashel Vintage Blue Linen and took 8hrs 30min.

“Just Married!” has had some heavy colour substitution on it — I changed all the colours on the piece from the recommended pinks and blues to tie in with those of our wedding colours: red, black and silver. The framer has done another lovely job too, with the frame and matting complementing both the stitching and our colours.

And of course, all those other Lizzie*Kate pieces I did this year? They all went to various folks as thank you presents — the florist, photographers, wedding planners, and so on… They were all amazed at how I’d been able to make their presents in amongst all the planning (and, truth be told, so was I!) — but each was received with joy and delight, which made it all worth it. *smiles*
