Easter preparations






















As most other babies are very well behaved and don't eat quite as much chocolate (kit-cot) as Kitty does, we decided to package up slightly healthier 'sunflower challenge' gifts for Easter rather than the traditional Easter eggs for her little friends and cousins. This consisted of a biodegradable plant pot, some compost pellets, a selection of sunflower seeds and instructions on how to take part in Kitty's BIG Sunflower Challenge. Hopefully, some of the recipients will have a go and we can review the results in the summer.

We couldn't resist sneaking in just a few little eggs and bunnies!

Kitty has been working hard on the spring chick production.

We had planned a short break to Blackpool this weekend, but it snowed (!!?!) and suddenly the coast didn't seem quite so appealing.

Instead, we went to Ikea to get Kitty a safety rail for her bed. Yes, bed! She has never been very keen on being in her cage (cot), so daddy took the sides off and made it into a bed. It just needed something to stop her from rolling over and falling out and we discovered Ikea do a really smart rail that clips to the side. It works a treat and tonight is her second night in her own bed.


Kitty enjoyed running wild in Ikea.


I treated myself to some really nice fabric from the USA a few weeks ago for a quilt project. It finally arrived and I can't wait to start.
There are two sets, Good Morning (pinks, yellows and oranges) and Good Night (blues, pinks and mustards) and I've got two fat quarters of each, so I'm hoping I'll have enough for a full size bedspread. It's a really soft 100% cotton flannel, so will be really snuggly to sleep
under.

Kitty has been watching us take photos since the day she was born, so now she has decided that she wants to take them too. Her speciality at the moment is portraits. Here are her recent snaps of daddy, grandad Simpson and mummy.
