Thought it was about time we explained why we've been extremely quiet lately. 😜 Baby #2 is due in September. 🤰🏻
I've been very unwell and just focused on the basics of life. Hoping that symptoms will start to ease now that I've hit the 2nd trimester, but only time will tell. I will remain hopeful though. 🤞🏻
Clara is just absolutely thrilled to be a big sister and asks every day if the baby is coming soon. 🥹 With mother's day on the horizon I'm pretty nervous how I'm going to pull it all off, but I've been working behind the scenes to try and prepare as much as I can in advance to avoid the huge crunch time. -Christy

Just a small statice harvest this afternoon. 😅 I hadn't done a proper pick for a couple of weeks, just been grabbing what I needed for orders. So it was a very packed statice bed! Most of this will be dried and used in our dried wreaths and bouquets. I'll put aside a small amount for orders for the weekend. But isn't this a glorious bundle of blooms!?!? What colour statice catches your eye the most? I'm obsessed with the pale peach! 🍑🍑 -Christy

We're all set up and ready for you down at the Eco Market at IndigiScapes! We'll be here 8am-12pm with a huge range of dried bouquets, wreaths and confetti! 💐

Another batch of lemon-lime cordial made from our own citrus is finished and cooling. I'm not the biggest fan of cordial, but once I had homemade lime cordial I was sold. Our lime tree is very happy at the moment and pumping out limes. They aren't very big, but there are plenty of them.This batch was made with 3 cups of juice. Hopefully this will last us until the next batch of limes are ready (probably not 😅). 🍋🍋🍋 -Dan
