sundays at home

What have you been up to this weekend? I always work on Saturdays, that's why I love Sunday, the start of my weekend and today we plan to walk down the canal to Annie's Tea Room, a little cafe set by the river with pretty china teacups and teapots,chickens pecking about, horses in green fields and rambling veg plots. I'll hopefully take some nice photos to show you.

Summer comes and goes, so we are trying to make the most of any sunny days, eating outside whenever we can. My boyfriend made these bread rolls from scratch, I'm so impressed, they taste delicious!

my week...

My week has looked a bit like this...lovely new floral fabrics to make lavender bags, I always feel quite sleepy making these, perfect to tuck under your pillow for a peaceful nights sleep.

I found these little blue daisies hidden away in a box of bits, they will look lovely on my handmade cards.

I love eating outside, listening to the birds tweeting away. We felt quite pleased with ourselves, as we ate the little chard leaves we grew.

My mum treated me to a pink Geranium, which I've put in the bedroom as it's a nice and sunny spot.

Have you been enjoying the beautiful weather? Here are some sunny moments from my week; pretty flowers in bloom in the house and the garden, planting more sweet peas in pots, wishing for this beautiful bedlinen from Toast and dinner outside in the cool of the evening. 

My new favourite drink is elderflower cordial with lots of ice and fresh mint, perfect for a hot summers day.

Have a lovely Monday!

dinner ...

After work I cycled down to our allotment to pick some veg for dinner.

This is the first time I've grown dill. The flowers are so pretty, that I picked a bunch for the kitchen. Just got back before it started to rain.


I'm sure it taste better when you've grown it yourself.
