Inspiring Homes

I've been meaning to start a series of posts for a while now about inspiring homes - I'm sure most people (especially if you're reading this!) love a good nose around someones house, and this is the perfect excuse.

Donuts! A simple felt food tutorial

So I have to say I was thrilled when CeCe wanted to be the panda from Please Mr Panda (if you haven't seen my world book day post you can read it here), as I knew I'd get to make these super cute donuts! I have to say of all the girls toys, I love their play food the best.

My Sister's Wedding

So, my sister's wedding was nearly a whole month ago now. I'm not sure I could write up a post which would do such a lovely day justice really, so I'll just stick to explaining a few photos. I didn't actually take that many what with being so involved in the whole day - I'm itching to see the official ones! But also I do sometimes think that the adage is true that when you're having a really good time you don't stop to take pictures.
