May Day Festivities

We had a whirlwind weekend, with Kiwi's school May Faire, and my best friends wedding, Mother's Day and a dinner party for 13.  I wish I had taken pictures but I felted her wedding slippers and made the cupcakes with beautiful crystalized flowers, it was a beautiful almost 100% homemade wedding even down to her gown. 

This is the pattern I used for the slippers:  http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/L10468.html?noImages=0  Instead of knitting the strap we used a beautiful vintage silk ribbon and vintage mother of pearl buttons for a closure.

Hide and go seek with the trees

The staff was presenting a puppet show of Snow White and Rose Red, We tried so hard to last long enough to see the show but 2 hours past nap time was just too long, we had to leave with two very tired and cranky babies.
