A Surprise Event Causes a Flurry of Craft Room Chaos

Four weeks ago back in early February my youngest daughter decided she had found the perfect date for her wedding the date she chose was the 2nd of March, not next year or the year after, but yesterday. So after a day of panic off we set to find her the perfect gown for a sunset wedding at the beach, and after just 4 hours of frantic shopping she chose a beautiful red gown trimmed with lots of crystals to catch the sun, and shoes to match. We could hardly believe  our luck one afternoons shopping and we had ticked off the most important items.
Then came the panic of what on earth can I wear!
So after several cups of tea I remembered some fabric I had stashed in my craft room sat waiting to be transformed into a dress, and it was perfect, red poppies that matched the bride's dress perfectly.
My craft room turned into a the home of a crazy seamstress overnight. This was only the second dress I had made, so I was more than a little nervous but thankfully with only minimal unpicking and reworking the dress came together.
When I wasn't sewing my crochet hook was working double time on a lace wrap to compliment the dress and a poppy to adorn a lovely velvet purse I found to match the dress.
With a week to go I had to face the sinking realisation that even if I didn't sleep the whole week my wrap was not going to be finished on time and so I made a difficult decision to make a little jacket to finish off the ensemble.
The wedding was yesterday and it was a perfect day in the sun, and everyone looked beautiful, and of course the bride was radiant in the sun in her gown.
Today I sit in my craft room which has returned to its serene tranquil haven with my loyal craft room companion Noodle the dachshund at my feet enjoying the peace and quiet.
I thought you might like to see the finished dress and purse.
The poppy I have decided will be my flower of the month for February and my next post will have the pattern for you to share.
