They were my mum’s favourite flower, so growing them now feels like a precious connection. Especially when I pick some and arrange them in her beautiful old blue and gold jug just as she used to do with the sweet peas my dad grew for her every year.
There are some really handy tips for growing success from founder of The Real Flower Company Rosebie Morton over on the blog (link in bio). Rosebie has a whole farm dedicated to sweet peas near Chichester so she knows a thing or two about the subject!
Main thing I’ve picked up from her is to allow lots of depth for root growth at this stage and to make my own supportive wigwams from twiggy branches when the plants are really starting to go for it and need a bit of direction. This photo is making me yearn slightly.

Peter Rabbit knitting pattern toy by Claire Garland

Peter Rabbit knitting pattern based on the beloved Beatrix Potter character. It’s by Claire Garland Dot Pebbles Knits and includes step-by-step instructions. I love the adorable animals in Beatrix Potter’s original illustrations Peter Rabbit is possibly one of the most enduring characters. I love how Claire’s pattern has captured the character of the best-loved Peter Rabbit and you can even knit Peter’s distinctive blue jacket! Why not knit Peter Rabbit today? With Claire’s step-by-step photos and knitting techniques clearly explained, this little knitted bunny is bound to be loved by generations of children.

I love Claire’s patterns and I just had to share this adorable Peter Rabbit knitting pattern PDF download. It’s based on Beatrix Potter’s iconic illustrations and the true storybook look of this much-loved character. The perfect nursery decoration or handmade newborn baby gift don’t you think? If I was giving it as a newborn or baby gift, I’d make without the tiny buttons on the coat and embroider on the eyes, for safety reasons. Claire’s easy techniques will help you create your own cuddly bunny inspired by the adventures of Peter Rabbit.

Thank you so much to Sarah @floribundaroseflorists Thank you so much to Sarah @floribundaroseflorists for a wonderful wreath making workshop yesterday. Such a special and creative space to spend time. I loved making my wreath - I went for a mixture of greenery arranged quite randomly with red waxed fresh apples, dried hydrangea, dried flowers, poppy and nigella seed heads and a winter white velvet bow. 
There were so many wonderful ingredients to choose from we were really spoiled for choice. 
Sarah’s new studio is such a beautiful, creative space. Think fragrant botanical candles flickering everywhere, mulled wine and apple juice simmering on the stove and containers full of fragrant festive greenery, waxed fruit, dried flowers and oranges, pine cones, lichen covered branches and even tiny gold wax-dipped fresh crab apples. 
Thank you for being so patient with my lengthy ribbon choice deliberations Sarah - and for bagging up a second choice option (dusky pink) to take home! X.  #wreathmaking #wreath #wreathsofinstagram #sustainablewreaths #wreathdecor #christmaswreath #velvetribbon #christmasdecor #festiveflowers
