absence makes the heart grow fonder...

I certainly hope that is the case!!!!
we've been so busy with Alex and Amys wedding recently that we've had no time!!
the wedding was quite loevly i might add, cupcakes made by yours truly(with an enormous amount of help from 'alexandra' and Jill, we managed to knock out 80 cupcakes, iced and boxed, in a matter of hours before dashing off to buy dresses at the 11th hour!(at least our priorities were straight!)and then off for flower making!
we did a fantastic job, pics to follow shortly!
So, what next?well. as Jill mentioned, knitted breasts are next on the agenda, and then its more wedding wedding wedding with my wedding only 11 weeks away, and Gina's wedding only about 4 months away.

Yes, it has been rather a while since a blog was posted but life has got in the way. 
the baby  blanket is now finished and looks rather good, if I say so myself.  I am now learning to crochet and finding it quite difficult but will persevere.
The next knitting project is likely to be the ongoing blanket for Mike and also, knitted breasts.  This may sound weird but it is in a good cause.   The PCT need them to demonstrate to nursing mothers how to express their milk.  Flesh coloured wool is now needed.
In other news, we have moved our knitting group to the IKEA cafe.  Who knows where this will lead?  Making knitted goodies for IKEA?????
We are also expanding our empire and thinking of starting The Purlettes Alternative Wedding Service; this will be a quirky and ethical wedding service with lots of lovely goodies.
that's all for now.
