phalaenopsis and peonies





I'm not generally and orchid fan for some reason, but this stem of phalaenopsis was such a fun fuchsia color, and since I remembered to change the water, it lasted almost a month! The peonies were much shorter lived, I captured the color fading from the bloom which happens a day or so before the petals fall.

lilac and peony boquet






Ahhh, peony season. How glorious and short it is. What with them being extremely trendy right now, and generally one of the most gorgeous (and expensive) flowers, we are getting them pretty frequently while we can. Also included in this bouquet- pink lilac, stock, ranunculus, mini calla lilies, maiden hair fern, spray roses, mini green hydrangea, champagne roses and seeded eucalyptus.

easter flowers





I'm not sure if sharing four pictures of the same arrangement is excessive, but I don't care because I need you to appreciate every adorable flower. I absolutely love hyacinths, they remind me of ice cream and they smell wonderful. Tulips are always good with me and these yellow ones blew my mind, they opened up almost like little peonies!

newly made dress




Since all I want to do is wear clothing shaped like bags I decided to make myself the comfiest dress of all time. This fabric is a super light cotton so it's like wearing nothing while still being socially acceptable. Perfect. I also made a little headband, which I will eventually share a tutorial of. Onion received a matching bandana which he adores, which I adore, which everyone adores. In fact, it seems to not bother him one bit which means I will be making him A LOT more.

country wedding








This event from a few weeks ago was out at Vinewood. It was my first time at this location, and it's quite lovely, very relaxed and a great piece of property. I would love to see someone drape all kinds of twinkly lights and lanterns from the barn ceiling!

coconut cake





Whelp, I made my first-ever coconut cake without ever having tasted one. Probably not the best plan. And for some reason, I thought all the recipes seemed wrong and either too complicated or not complicated enough so for the first time in my limited years of baking I attempted to combine recipes and it didn't really work out. It looked cute and tasted good, but not great, because it wasn't fluffy. So pretty please if you have an excellent recipe, throw it my way.
