Really love the photos on the 'Show off your ....' threads and thought it would be nice to do a DIY creations one, (done a search and can't find one... though I could be wrong). I don't just mean your invites, but anything you have been brave enough to make yourself for your special day. It may give others the inspiration and the courage to do their own items too. xx Will upload pics of my ventures into wedding DIY later when I get more time on the laptop.
Looking forward to seeing everyones creative talent!
I have a gorgeous husband!
2 brilliant wonderful boys, a wonderful life
in Cornwall. Happiest woman ever!
Now making our house a home. Blessing 2014.

I haven't started mine yet! I'm so impatient and eager to start but we need to save some money for the bits we need first! I have mock up's in my albums though.
I'm making all the flowers, some decorations out of Lego! Oh, and the favours we're making from scratch too.

Wow LMB. Love the stuff you have done. You must be very creative. I'v not started anything yet, but I really cant wait to get cracking. Going to bookmark this page, because I'm sure there will be some good pics posted on here. I enjoy looking at picture of things people have made. I think it's really nice to have these personal touches at your wedding. :)

Thank you Stevie.
I just finished my valentines gift which will be (hopefully) our cake topper. If h2b agrees - it's a Valentines surprise.
I might take it apart again and start again with Hello Kitty as I don't like her. Made her much better before.

Thank you RaggedyAnne - it's actually crocheted not knitted. Can't knit very well :-)
Your creations are very elegant - will tie in beautiful with your pastel coloured bms!

Thank you LMB......i have never been able to knit, i did learn to crochet a little bit but all i can make is a coaster to stand a cup on....not very imaginative. i bet it took HOURS to do all that didnt it? i particularly like the mushrooms. are they for your guests to keep?

Yes it takes a while - I've been doing this all since October/November.
I don't understand knitting patterns!

Oh and they weren't planned for them to keep but if someone wants something they are welcome to have it. I want to keep one of each thing though :-)

I second what MrsMcleish says - have you set it up as a business - if not you should! I'd order a mr and mrs Yoda -h2b is a huge star wars fan!

I am currently in the process of making a collection for sale - but hair accessories, brooches and shoe clips.
Legally I couldn't sell Yoda because of it's copyright. I could certainly do with the pennies whereas Mr. Lucas won't care much about a tenner - but it's his officially :D

CommentAuthorSammi_with_camera
Wow LMB they look amazing, so quirky and cute :-) Im also loving the brooch bouquet but convincing my mother that its a good idea to have one will take some effort! I might have fresh flowers with a line of brooches down the middle instead!
CommentAuthorLittleMissBossy
Sounds beautiful Sammi!
Nic - no ofc not but I couldn't put it in an official online shop. Same goes for Hello Kitty probably - and any other copyrighted figure. But patterns are sold for them so who knows!

Thank you. There are lots of online tutorials!

CommentAuthorpanther_87k
if you dont call it yoda (call it something similar) then you shouldnt be breeching copyright, i believe it would be the name and not the image that Mr Lucas has copyrighted
CommentAuthorLegoWife
Don't put it passed him! Lucas is notorious for suing people for copyright. He tried to stop the guy who designed the storm trooper outfit from selling replicas a while back.

CommentAuthorLittleMissBossy
That doesn't surprise me. Lucas is famous for having kept the full copyright on all things Star Wars.
If it's named differently it also can't be found by someone looking for it. There's a hell of a lot of Lego Star Wars jewellery about - all on Etsy and Ebau. Certainly worth looking into it.

H2b thinks Star Trek is not cool. Suppose he's a geek snob - ha ha ha.
I could imagine a little Mr. Spock would look great - off to google pics!
