Flaming June

Well after what has felt like the longest build up summer is finally here........sort of.  Our garden pinged into life a couple of weeks ago and now there is no stopping it, everything is greening up and seems to grow before your eyes.



We planted some asparagus crowns 3 years ago, and this year we are finally allowed to harvest and eat it, woo hoo!  We picked our first modest bunch last weekend as our Wedding anniversary treat, it was scrummy.  We have also been enjoying the rhubarb, as we have to keep eating it before it consumes littlies sandpit!  The good weather has got me making more summery frocks, i made a repeat of the 1940s-esque one in the earlier post, it worked really well with this  more drapey cloth. I have also made a wrap style frock, but more of that later.



We have a new resident here at chez Lulumama, a blackbird has made its nest on our new extension, so someone is enjoying our new space before we do.  It is lovely to look up and see Mrs Merle atop her pile of twigs!

  1. Hi Catherine
    Thanks for your lovely comments, always appreciated. Love your dress, the fabric fabric is gorgeous, I'd love to know where you found that.
    I was wondering if being similar crafty things and living so near one another if you'd fancy meeting for a coffee in Beccles one Friday?
