Derbyshire Makes is an annual, countywide programme celebrating making in all its forms – at the heart of this celebration are six vibrant hub festival days, each one shaped by the character, history and stories unique to that place.

Today is my birthday! It has been such a lovely day! Couldn’t have asked for better weather.We went out for lunch, I went plant shopping and have spent most of the day out in the garden in the sunshine! We even had birthday cake out in the garden this evening. Look at my new crochet pattern book too! So excited to have a go at a few of these!

We have had such a cute day today and I used it as an opportunity to take a photo of my latest crochet creation! A jellycat inspired sunshine!

Shoutout to a local business Norton Juxta Blooms we have only just found this place, they are opposite Twycross Zoo and they have the most beautiful field full of tulips for you to pick your own! My flowers are beautiful and we will definitely be back for more Tulips and some Sunflowers later in the year! It was such a lovely experience I would definitely recommend!
