I have some available in my  Izzybeads Etsy shop and a lovely lady contacted me to ask if I could do her some for a wedding bouquet and the flower displays, she wanted my bumble bees and bugs.  After a bit of a play I found the bumble bees looked better with 'sticky up' wings rather than the lay flat ones on the little beads and by using gravity to help angle the bees they turned out rather fab!  I have asked for pictures of her finished pieces when she does them and she has agreed which is lovely, but I have a little wait as her wedding isn't until the summer.

Talking of weddings....

My brother got married last week and the hubby and I went to the service and reception.  My brother lives on the east side of the UK and we live on the west,  its about 3-4 hours driving in the car.  The service wasn't until the afternoon, so we got all dressed ready and drove straight to the registry office as hubby worked the night before and that way he could get some sleep first.  As what normally happens, half way there I needed a wee.  Hubby pulled into the services on the motorway, and parked the car out of the way of the fuel pumps and queues of traffic but was much closer to the lorries and where they fill up with fuel.  Not usually a problem, but on this day it was.  There I was in high heels and a dress *shock*, me in a dress!  and I had to teeter my way from the car, past all the big burly truck drivers and their big lorries and into the service station to use the looe.  I was sooooooooooo over dressed, but hubby got a chuckle out of it!
