A few days ago my jar of confetti hearts was looking decidedly sad ...
.
.
... but after two days of almost non-stop punching (and two heart punches down - it seems they are not made for intensive punching!), isn't it looking much happier?

I adore the delightful blues and whites.

Do you want a close-up?

Bliss! A happy sight for the eyes, and unspeakably satisfying to stick your hand in and have a good old rummage (now that does sound strange!).
A lovely evening spent making some teeny tiny confetti hearts out of some lovely pale blue paper. How these make my own heart sing to think that in a few short weeks they will be showering their sweetness over myself and my new (and only) husband!

And don't the cut-out rows look pretty too.

Although I fear it will take a few more hours until I make enough to fill these cones (and these are only half the number of cones we will have!).
.

Typically, despite having over a year and a half, I am only just properly starting now. I can see many more evening making these little hearts. And honestly, I don't think I mind one bit!
I adore simple things. A day spent quietly at home is more precious to me than any number of adventures. To be surrounded by the things I love, doing the things I love alongside the person I love. Perfect. And this weekend was perfect.
Shopping for some beautiful broderie anglaise trim at a local market.
Look how delicate and intricate it is!
Just perfect to make these dainty little blooms, which will adorn the heirloom bouquet I am making for my wedding.
And look at these. Is there anything more delightful than simple glass jars decorated with lace?
Another craft for my wedding. I can't wait to see these scattered around our wedding and reception venue, lit up by tiny tealight candles or holding a posy of simple flowers.
A quiet weekend. An unremarkable weekend. A perfect weekend!
