Mum and I have been gardening this month. We've planted hanging baskets (with the assistance of my very knowledgable Nana) and some pretty colourful potted plants (on a bench in the garden so that Archie can't eat them!) I've also planted a bed of bee-friendly wildflowers, and some tomatoes, strawberries and scotch bonnets. I've not been very good at gardening in the past, so fingers crossed I'm more

You guys, I have some exciting news! I've been doing a lot of sewing, and in mid May I plan to open an Etsy shop! I have been collecting second-hand and vintage fabric and sewing it up into these cute little elasticated waist skirts. I'll be selling mini, midi and maxi varieties! The skirt above was the first one I made, and I just love the sixties fabric. It's been so much fun having a big project

Happy Easter from me and the Easter Bunny! I hope you're having a wonderful long weekend filled with family, hot cross buns, chocolate and easter egg hunts. I loved taking these photos of Archie, although he is not the most cooperative model. In most of my photos he's licking the camera lens! I'm very excited because Archie has a date with a lady bunny from the RSPCA this week. Fingers crossed
