The tree grows some more

I promised an update on "Family Tree" and here it is - I said I had rolled it up back to the top so I could do more of the names. I have stitched the 2 boxes with my great grandparents names in and a little of the tree, border and blue edge. It is getting there slowly, I am still enjoying working on it I just find the large frame hard work!!
Here is my spring cushion, not much to show yet. It is mainly a geometric type pattern with lovely bright colours. The design makes a heart shape but I will make a square cushion.
The wedding reception on Saturday night. It was held in a barn conversion function room at a hotel. It was a lovely room but a little full and therefore hard to get to the food and the bar... but we managed. I didn't take many photos but here is one of the happy couple having a first dance together! Me and the girls did lots of dancing.... well especially Laura she had a great time!! We also got to see baby Grace who was so pretty, she was fast asleep and is apparantly very good. Helen loved the Somebunny card I made, I have yet to hear if "I Do" was liked as they didn't open any presents on the night.
This week I my working on my Country Idyll again, I have been working on the car and the tree so far. I would also like to start my Silver Wedding card this week, I have found a design in an old issue of cross stitcher I just need to sort my fabric and threads.
Hope you all have a good week.

Lovely couple. They look very happy.

I always think it's fun to stitch in the names. That goes pretty quick and then you really feel the progress.

What a great picture of their dance, they look so happy. Your WIP's are looking wonderful too. Excellent job on your designing of Twilight, it turned out wonderfully. Scamp is a cutie, I'm glad they dedided to get another furbaby, and sounds like Scamp really needed a good home. I'll look forward to hearing more of how he's getting on with his new family.
