A Lady in Lavender

   

The idea of being a hands-on craft-competent
    mother-of-bride was very appealing last August!

 Tasks done:

1. Lavender picked last August and one entire day spent handling it, after it lay on kitchen table for two days.
2. Lavender dried for five months in wardrobe resulting in seed all over the place.
3. Use of lavender discussed in depth with nearly every visitor to Dubhard.
4. We smelt it, pressed it, glued it, sprayed it, tried it, dried it and gave out samples.
5. Decided it may (or may not) be used for invitation decoration.
6. Meanwhile linen card bought for and tri-folded by bridesmaids (thank you Kirsty and Julie) while bride and mother of bride attended wedding show at SECC and mother of bridesmaids made dinner and supplied anesthetising beverages to soothe aching feet and complement free cocktails sampled earlier at show (thank you Joan!).
7. Very large reel of purple ribbon bought from ebay by mother-of-bride (hereinafter referred to as Mob) of which the postal package, due to quirks and intricacies of postal deliveries in Sleat, was discovered inside the car one week after expected delivery (through the letter-box).  Please note, however this statement cannot be used as an excuse for tasks not done (see below)....

Tasks not done as at 13 January:

1. Invitations not completed (target December - oops!)
2. Diet not started by Mob - (oops - oops - oops)
3. Every other wedding task cannot be classified under this heading as not done, as target dates had not been set for their completion .....

Is the moral of this then, to not set targets?
