Overdue update...

So ok I have not blogged in ages (as several people have pointed out!) but to be fair my life for the past few months had resolved itself into a fairly boring mixture of work and clinical exhaustion, that was not really worth writing that much about. The doctors still have worked out exactly why I am so tired all the time, but I'm now on Insulin and having Iron infusions in an attempt to improve this. However, I've been having both for over a month now and have not noticed any marked improvement-marvellous...

Some of the only bright spots in the past six months or so, were the three lovely wedding dresses that I have made over this summer (sometimes working at the sewing machine whist staying in the CF Unit you can't say that's not dedication!). The first was for the lovely Rachel James a friend of my lovely mate Fran, for whom I made this rather sophisticated gown and veil. I particularly liked the long train and the swarovski crystals on the veil! But then again I love anything sparkly...

I nearly missed the lovely Kate and Colin's wedding due to another stupid bleed which landed me in hospital and on IV's. But thanks to my lovely parents ferrying me about, I managed to make the ceremony and dinner in between doses and sleeping! Kate's dress used some of the best and most complex embroidery that I've ever done, although it was rather stressful!

Finally came Polly and Will's wedding, for which I made Polly's dress and Will's waistcoat. Unfortunately I missed the actual ceremony as whilst I was on the train down to London someone threw themselves in front of the trainin front of mine causing the line to be closed and several hours of delay. I did eventually get into London for the wedding breakfast and reception. This was at the Reform Club in Pall Mall which was sooooo posh! I've not really got any good photos from this yet as I forgot my camera but am hoping to nab a few of the official ones. Polly's dress was gorgeous and the blue shrug was such a great idea.
