Hands up who has done a bit of house-primping over

Hands up who has done a bit of house-primping over the last couple of weeks? ⁠
⁠
I'm feeling a bit up against it time-wise (what with home-schooling two children, fulfilling my final outstanding orders and a new commission that came in this week, plus trying to maintain the blog/social and generally keep house and keep sane...). Most of our energy for DIY has gone into the garden, and more specifically, our veg and herb seedlings. ⁠
⁠
There's plenty of jobs I want to get done over this next couple of months, including a new gallery wall and sorting our photos out. I'll be trying to think of ways to up my floral game without leaving the house. ⁠
⁠
Here, with some real life inspiration from her own floral home and wardrobe, is Surrey florist Kate Spicer, founder of @kateaveryflowers . The link's in my bio. Do let Kate and I - and her pup Bunty (pictured above) - know your quarantine-time floral home hacks.⁠

I've been hiding my face from my grid since Corona

I've been hiding my face from my grid since Coronavirus ramped up in the UK. Don't know why especially. But after a Power Hour consultation with @maddy.shine this morning, and a nudge from my copywriter Instafriend @candourandpolish this afternoon, it's high time a show up and show off my emerging natural hair colour 😂. I'm going to need at least three days in a salon when I'm allowed out again. ⁠
⁠
Good things that happened today...⁠
💚 Got my head round how I can show up online with reduced working hours, thanks to @maddy.shine⁠
💚 Successful home-schooling with my girls ⁠
💚The four of us had a really lovely lunch together with some creative zhuzhing of leftovers and scraps. ⁠
💚 Did a YouTube dance class with @oti.mabuse⁠
💚 Scheduled our next Zoom & Wine with my best school girlfriends⁠
💚 Found and sent some quality quarantine memes⁠
💚 Grateful to have organised an online food delivery because food makes me so so happy.⁠
⁠
Hope you some some good moments in today too. x⁠

Spoiled for choice by Edward Hopper's oeuvre, exploring themes of isolation. This one - Cape Cod Morning (1950) - makes it all look rather lovely, don't you think?⁠

My mornings start with a meditation about connecting to nature. It's a practice I've come to crave and cherish over the last couple of weeks. ⁠
⁠
But my precious desk time offers a similar sensation - it's really the only other time my mind empties. A friend once asked me how I choose which colour to use next. I'd never thought about it but it's not something I ever have to decide. It just happens and then I find a couple of hours have passed. ⁠
⁠
Wishing you you a peaceful Sunday.⁠
