WARNING: do not read this if you love/are the queen

So I think by now we are all aware that I have been inadvertently selected to attend a garden party with royalty this July.

I am trying not to be bitter, but I can't help kind of wishing I had a criminal record for the second time in less than a year...they seem to do the trick for getting people out of such situations.

Being a pauper, I spent £4 on some clearance sari fabric to attempt to make some kind of a tea dress for myself - yeah, it's lovely for all you attendees who can afford to splash out on frocks and fascinators, but some of us have to scrimp just to pay the taxes that fund this type of frivolity! So it's homemade for me.
...

I shall be making sure I eat extra cake whilst I am there, just to create a little balance. Ha!
...

Anyway, here are images of the dress that has prevented me from doing much else with my life. Except for going to work...to be taxed.

The Lady Is a Tramp

Well spring has been just lovely thus far with all its yellowness and blossomings;

I have been very distracted!

So as the daffodils withered and the blossoms fell I managed to
squeeze out a little of the next stage of my current project.

And it is nice to remember that the bulbs are there lurking underground, cooking up goodness for the next spring.

Now I shall feast my gazes upon the delightful buttercups...

...whilst feasting my mouth upon such morsels as this!






(Oh I think we all know by now how long things take me, hence the large space betwixt bloggings)
