Mixing Business & Pleasure

Bit of a bits and bobs blog this fortnight, mainly because I've taken the bull by the horns and launched a one woman crusade to get these hats into some shops! First the Midlands, then the WORLD!

It's very time consuming and frankly, at times, feels a bit of a thankless task, but when it comes good it's all worth it!! I knew I could count on the fabulous Susan Graley - if you're getting hitched any time soon I would seriously recommend visiting her beautiful shop: gowns to die for, a setting to match, and Susan's pretty awesome too :)

And... it's Daisy Daisy's new home for a while! Woop!!

My name is Ellie Johnson and I'm addicted to daisies.














It's still very much a work in progress - that's its lining on the stand on the right (all my bridal hats will be lined with 'something blue') and the veil will need reshaping after I've manhandled it to stitch the floating daisies on. Oh and if you prick your finger you have to wait a good five minutes in case of staining the silk. But... it's going to be so pretty, I think it's entirely worth it :)

Glastonbury calling. . .



Normally at Glastonbury, I look a bit like this...

But not this year, my friends, oh no. This year, I will be embracing the mud fairy spirit (and hiding my Day Three fringe) whilst rocking this floral creation!

Hopefully it'll still look this happy after a three hours on a coach in my enormous back pack. And if not, then the flowers are from Wilkinsons so it's all good! Ha! Silk flowers and rain wasn't quite worth the risk!!

And with that I'll be back in three weeks (after Glasto!), hopefully sufficiently de-muddied to have finished the daisy veil. Until then, check out Handmade Monday's adventures and look out for my garlanded head on the tv! See you on the Other Side!!

Ah thank you! :) I'm considering running up a Mad Hatter Crusading Costume for added effect ;) Have a great couple of weeks!
