Didn't mean to post 2 images, I'm still having to use my laptop to post anything.

I do hope, assuming the other Euro Royals are there, that Max gives the full Stuart Tiara an outing. It's an absolute whopper.

SqueakyDinosaur · 30/03/2023 18:37

For the Coronation, I mean.

gluenotsoup · 30/03/2023 20:01

Ha! I was clearing The Range out of Easter crafty things too.. I didn’t see those though😂

justasking111 · 30/03/2023 22:26

Off to the Range in the morning

Maireas · 30/03/2023 23:02

Good spot, @latedecember1963 !
I will be most upset if Max doesn't go full Stuart...

@maisiedaisy64 - what's the point, indeed, my friend. Chaz, Cams - we want a bit of glamour and plenty of bling. Thank you.

Thankfully the tabloids aren't known for their facts so I hope thats nonsense.

KillingMeDeftly · 31/03/2023 08:56

There was speculation about a low-key coronation with daywear when the date was announced but I thought Charles had backtracked on that?

maisiedaisy64 · 31/03/2023 01:18

I sincerely hope this is mindless speculation. Day wear?? No tiaras?? What’s the point then?!!!

I think they will tbh, I've seen this raised before and commented on it previously

Daywear a go go

gluenotsoup · 31/03/2023 09:36

I hope not. Surely they bring out the bling for a Coronation?

… and on the subject of the Coronation I thought you might like to see plenty of jewels on dd’s egg decorating competition- “the Coreggnation of King Charles “ 😂

That is fabulous @gluenotsoup
👏🏻 to your dd 💐 or rather 👑

As we are showing off our Coronation crafting I'm working on a commemorative crocheted blanket. It should start to get blingier over the next week or two as so far the sections represent Charles' military career, his environmental interests and his love of painting. The next section is to represent the crown jewels. I am planning a little adaption to mark Mr Aiminlife's participation on the big day.

Ah, that's lovely @Myaiminlife

AdaColeman · 31/03/2023 11:10

Lovely to see all the Coronation crafting! What larks!

latedecember1963 · 31/03/2023 11:59

That is so clever, Gluenotsoup! I hope she wins a prize or gets a certificate. It definitely merits one of my "Mrs. Late December's special mention" stickers that I only give out for special effort.
Your blanket is beautiful, Myaiminlife. I love the colours.

Myaiminlife · 31/03/2023 12:18

@latedecember1963 I can't take any credit for the design of the blanket - it was created by Designed by Anita I'm just responsible for the slightly wonky hooking. I'm really looking forward to getting onto the gold, purple and jewels and making a tiny crown, orb and sceptre.

Cams looks fab and very stylish. Love her brooch.
@gluenotsoup seriously loving the coronation scene!
Well done to all the crafters!

Maireas · 31/03/2023 16:07

@gluenotsoup and @Myaiminlife
Brilliant! 👏

Has Cams brooch been acquired?

If not, could I please reserve it? Also need to look for serious bling, especially if the Royals are going low key 👑

Which brooch? Either way, they both looked unclaimed.
