Here are some ideas of how you can use your personalised embroidered napkins!

Good luck!

 They are gorgeous to use at your wedding breakfast... and many guests will take them home as a souvenir of your special day...

 You could simply have your initials (either just your own , or the letters of both your first names) ....

Or a fancy monogram, with your first letter from your first names either side, and the letter of your surname in the middle...

Or you can have a personal message embroidered.... eg. for a special anniversary.... how how about for your second wedding anniversary, where cotton is the traditional gift!!

The weather was just beautiful and all the bride and grooms to be had a wonderful time sipping drinks in the garden!

Personalised napkins are a great wedding gift...

When I was planning my own wedding in 2008, I embroidered monogrammed napkins for all our guests for our wedding breakfast...

And a few months after the wedding, I thought of setting up my own business to create personalised napkins to make other couples weddings unique.

We use our napkins regularly now at home, and they finish off table decorations for special occasions.

The flowers have be cut from our garden, and I love the casual display in a vintage mug.

Today we have family coming for Sunday dinner, and I thought this would be an ideal opportunity to show you how monogrammed napkins can be used after your wedding day.

Embroidered Christmas Decorations

Just thought I would show you some embroidered Christmas decorations and cards that I have been working on tonight!

Click here to go to Christmas Decorations on our website

The hanging hearts are £6 each, they are finished with East of India ribbon and a wooden button. The gingerbread man is lovely, but takes quite a long time to make so I haven't made too many yet!

I love the Christmas napkins, they have the same heart shape as the hanging heart decoration and Christmas cards.. so everything matches!

I have been working away with work all week, and had lots of time to do hand sewing while I have been in the hotel in the evenings... also, i used the hotel as a backdrop for some of the photos!
Items will be added to our website over the weekend.

Weekend to myself!

Phil (the husband!) has gone away on a stag do for the weekend to Newcastle with 25 friends! Does Newcastle know what is going ti hit them!

But, it does mean I've got the house to myself .... I can do as much sewing and internet as I can wish for! So far, I have been in my office / studio since 8.30am !

Fabulous!

Think I ma going to visit wedding shops this afternoon and leave my flyers for stationery and napkins.
