Do you need to mulch your garden?

Too cute not to share...

Easter Fun!

Good Friday was spent making a garden, it was good to put our work clothes on and get dirty! Lunch was naughty fish, chips, caramel tarts and Easter eggs.....YUM!

On Easter Sunday we visited The Hunter Valley Gardens for the big Easter egg hunt. They run them every 45 minutes, it is great to watch all the kids run around the beautiful gardens having a lovely time, meeting the easter bunny and collecting eggs.

Scarlett was the star of the day, she was SO excited with the Easter egg hunt she filled a bag. We thought that it would be more for Fletcher, and yes, he did have fun but Scarlett was in her glory with chocolate, food, grass to roam on and, um....more chocolate!

Best Easter Present...My grandmothers overlocker. I have made a few things for Scarlett lately and she thought that I would use it more than her. I have sewn on and off all my life but feel the need to learn properly so I can pass on the skill to Scarlett. I made the pinafore above on Easter Saturday out of scraps that where laying around, not perfect by any means but I am still proud that I made it myself, read the pattern and had a special gift from my grandmother to make it more special.

This must have been all too much as I felt unwell for the next few days...too much chocolate I think and still a shelf full....

Flirty Friday

I apologise for missing last Friday and not flirting with a great brand but we where busy building gardens, eating chocolate, fish and chips (all the great stuff!) to celebrate Good Friday. Photos to coming soon.....

I had the pleasure of coming across Mini Whisk when owner, Anastasia, contacted me for hints and tips on training little girls to wear and love their hair accessories as she was having trouble with the daughter. Once I visited the site I knew it had to be my next Flirty Friday!

Mini Whisk is designed and made in Melbourne Australia, they offer a flat rate shipping of a mere $8!

You will find a great range of aprons, smocks and cooking utensils as well as fabric buntings and babushka dolls that are new for 2009. ( I am VERY partial to Russian dolls!). I even came across a gardening set which we could have used on our Good Friday celebration! Stop in and take a look, you won't be disappointed with what is on offer.
