Mollie Makes Weddings + Competition Time!

Hello lovelies. I am excited to show you another of the secret things I worked on last year - this pretty sampler project for Mollie Makes Weddings! I made it to fit into a standard 5"x7" photo frame and you can personalise it with the couple's names and wedding date (since the chances are pretty slim that you know a Hugo and Camille who are getting married on that date) to make a unique little gift for a pair of newlyweds.

The book contains 15 different handmade wedding projects from independent designers in all. My favourites?...

These adorable needle felted polar bear cake toppers by Gretel Parker are at the top of my list - so cute! I have just gotten my hands on a set of felting needles so might have to give them a try.

And these lace embossed clay wedding favours by Clare Youngs are right up my street.

To celebrate the release of Mollie Makes Weddings, Pavilion Craft have provided a free copy to give away to one of you! I'm afraid you have to be in the UK for this one, as it will be sent direct from the publisher to you. (I promise to come up with a different competition for you international folks in the not too distant future as well).

 

{ HOW TO WIN }

All you need to do is leave a comment on this post with the following information:

1. Which animal would you choose to represent you on a cake topper and why?

2. Make sure you include an email address or way to contact you - you don't need to write it in the actual comment that shows up to the world, but there is a box below that you need to complete.

 

{ THE RULES }

Competition open to UK addresses only. Entries close on Wednesday 12th March 2014 at midnight; the winner will be picked the following day and contacted by email with further details. By entering you agree for me to pass your details on to LoveCrafts for them to send your prize (your details will not be used for anything else). One entry per person. If you do not leave a way for me to contact you then I will move on and pick another winner.

 

Good luck!

Great giveaway!

I would choose Penguins to represent me and my fiancee as he is a librarian, we both adore reading and are having a book themed wedding. Perfect. Also they are super cute!

My boyfriend calls me Wing so I would love to have little garden bird cake toppers - sparrows or thrushes or the like - with some delightful colourful headwear.

As ever, your design is gorgeous, I might have to make one for myself!

I'd choose another bird - puffins. Because they're slightly contrary (living in burrows, rather than nests), they can be introverted and then a little crazy (they only have brightly coloured beaks during the mating season, the rest of the time they look very drab!) and while they might like their own space from time to time, they pair up for life. All qualities my fiance and I both share with them...

For me it would have to be a miniature schnauzer (breed of dog). We have two and they are such a part of the family I often think I have four kids instead of two !! I also love how Cath Kidston incorporated the late Stanley into her brand, (schnauzers are a similar shape &size). Just love them !xxx

Would a sloth be too revealing of my current state of mind!

I am a bridesmaid for my sister in the summer and will definitely be checking out this book for wonderful inspiration.

[Mary Taylor]

I would choose cats because they are cuddly, sleek and at times regal. When we first moved in together, I miaowed at him and he miaowed back, we are a couple of cats!

[Elizabeth Alcock]

Hi there! I would chose hedgehogs, because it reflects how we cope with the strains of modern life... cuddle up, curl into a ball and focus on US!
(It works, 'cos this year is our Pearl Anniversary!!)

[Verity Harrison]

A hen. Slightly plump and a worrier! I like the idea of flying but I am a home bird at heart. I am never more content then when all my chicks are with me.

[Linda Weston]

Okay, so you may consider this not and animal as it's a mythical animal but
I would go with a Totoro which is a character in a Japanese animation called My Neighbour Totoro. The movie is technically a kids film that we discovered shortly after our wedding which we both loved. We are going to be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary in a couple of months and images on Totoro always remind me of the specialness of relationships of whatever kind and always make me pause to consider and remind myself what is important in my life.

I'd like the Owl and the Pussy cat (I'd be the cat) I went to a fab wedding where this was a reading, it was surprising but really touching. The felted cake toppers are super cute and would make a lovely keepsake.
