Wedding cone baskets

I love how old traditions are being welcomed back into weddings. I made these as a special order to hold rice to throw over the bride and groom. They're also great as a parting gift. I made them for our guests at Christmas (I posted about them back then too). And more recently for Amelia's little guests at her mad hatters tea party filled with sweets! They looked very cute!

I'm not sure what to do today. It's very muddy outside after raining all night. Maybe a book carving or another paper house? The girls are easily amused on wet days by collecting all the cushions in the house and making what they call "pillow mountain". It's alot of fun although rather noisy!

I hope you all have a lovely day!

My Cone Baskets

Now I've never been one for scrapbooking. I've gone to the parties and tried to do it but it just doesn't seem natural to me. I find it a little fussy for my photos. I prefer them mounted on either plain black or white. However i LOVE the papers and i use them in alot of my work. I have a huge collection of these little cone baskets. At the moment they are hanging in one of my Christmas trees (yes i have three, I am a self confessed tree nazi and have to have at least one tree to myself). They are quick to do and make such a lovely statement around the house. I use them all year round for all sorts of things (they look particularly cute holding pencils) I'm going to be filling them with sweets and giving them as gifts of the tree on Christmas day for my family :)
