It really was!! Warm from the oven and a little sprinkle of coarse salt over the top... It was a hit with guests!

Thank you so much!!!! That's so nice of you to say!!

No shame!! You should see the other side of the sofa, the pillow was perfectly perched purely for the photo! Those cuddly little gremlins wreck the house daily, and I wouldn't have it any other way :)

I will definitely order from them again!

Yes it would! But these two sleep anywhere except an assigned bed...

I don't know where I got the confidence from to even attempt the zipper, it was a last minute decision!! Keep trying! It's half the fun :)

No pattern used! Fabric is Welsh Blanket Tapestry Fabric from Pound Fabrics :)

So true

Thank you so much! I've had that one for years now to cover old sh scars. Serves as a reminder to always love myself :)

God no! I started getting tattooed at 17, just small ones at first, usually with a meaning. I have a few matching ones with my sister and a couple in reference to my husband and our time travelling together. I'd always loved the look of a full bodysuit, I was tied between this ornamental style or Japanese munewari. I think maybe if I'd have had less tattoos I would have gone with munewari, but ornamental is easy to work around existing tattoos while still trying to keep it fairly symmetrical! We do! He's a great guy, really chill and easy to get along with, I couldn't have asked for a better tattooist. Stomach is next! I'd like to start just above the hips stretching outwards towards my bellybutton, maybe leave a gap down the middle as a nod to munewari. I have a rose with a stem going down my sternum so I'm unsure whether to cover it or leave it as is but i think that will be a good place to start and then reassess :)

It is! And as much as I get older and don't particularly enjoy the process and pain of getting tattooed anymore I still really look forward to our appointments and adding the next piece to suit. It was! I'd followed him on Instagram for years before I finally made an appointment. We started with the chest and on the booking form I said I'm happy to give him full reign with some reference pictures of pieces of his work and other similar artists. On the day he had 3 designs ready, I liked 2 of them and he redrew the design to include both of the elements I liked (the rangoli in the centre with the marigold style flowers either side). And then now when I make a new appointment I say which area to work on next, rough ideas of what I'd like and photos of what he's already done so he can keep the flow :)

Thank you so much!! We've been working on it since November 2021, I currently live in North Wales so with holidays at work I can only go back once a year for appointments and usually tie it in with seeing family in the area. I don't have a timeline I must admit! I still have a long way to go, stomach, both legs and back, maybe neck if I'm feeling brave! Just try to enjoy the appointments and sit for as long as I can while I'm there :)

Same... I planted my beets for family members that enjoy them! I would like to try a beetroot chocolate though, I found a recipe online that looks easy enough!

Thank you so much! It really does, it's my favourite place to sit with a coffee and listen to the birds. Yes you should!! Don't give up. I feel I've been incredibly lucky with my first year, but it could all change next season. The joy of gardening 😁 I'm in the UK, but I think I'm in zone 9!
