I was lucky enough to be invited to craft with the lovely ladies of the Quadring Women's Institute yesterday evening. It was a wonderful evening filled with laughter, conversation, and creativity. Everyone worked so hard and made such fantastic floral art. Thank you for such a warm welcome – I thoroughly enjoyed spending the evening with you all!

We all enjoyed the Scarecrow Trail so much last September that we've decided to do it again this year! Date and scarecrow theme to be released very soon!

We're also holding a Tallest Sunflower Competition, so it's time to get growing! 🌻

I'll be at the library this Friday from 3pm–4pm with FREE sunflower seeds, pots, and compost for anyone who would like to take part in the competition.

We'd love to see lots of entries, so come along, pick up your growing kit, and join the fun! Donington Library 🌻

Today was my first art session in a little while, and what a wonderful way to start back.

The children had a fantastic time decorating their very own cake stands in the lovely shade of the library garden. There was such a warm atmosphere, filled with laughter and creativity.

The session began with the children sketching out their ideas with pencil and paper before transferring their designs onto the wooden stands using acrylic paints. They all did an amazing job, and each cake stand turned out completely unique.

A lovely morning of art, imagination, and lots of smiles.

What a super surprise it was to get such a wonderful personalised handmade gift from Cheeky Peanut! Gives me a good excuse to take a break from planning workshops with the library and have a well deserved cuppa! ☕️👩‍🎨
Thank you! 💛

Feeling really chuffed with all the positive feedback today! 🌸

It just goes to show that even a novice flower arranger like me can give it a go. Sometimes you just have to start and see what happens!

Hopefully it might even inspire a few more people to have a go themselves next year – it’s such a lovely thing to try 💐

Pop along and see the incredible displays that the volunteers have created, and then grab a cuppa and cake at the village hall!
