So what happened to April then? We’re suddenly well into May and I haven’t had a chance to scribble down my thoughts.
April was a pretty good month for sonnyandalfie, we had a number of new designs popping into existence, the first a lovely New Baby thank you card, the second an incredibly cute party invitation and lastly, a Christening card like the fabric New Baby cards but the fabric is cut into the shape of blossom and a button in the centre.

I’ve been so tied up with designs that I haven’t had the chance to spend time on promotion which I do need to keep up as I’ve discovered that it does not come to you, you have to search for it.
The other reason that I’ve been fairly idle with the blog is that I finally managed to get hold of an allotment after being on the waiting list for over a year. I invited some friends to join my husband and I in working the allotment as it is a big undertaking with small children and it’s so much more fun going up there when we and the children have company. So our little community allotment was born.
The site was totally overgrown when we received the keys, but we have done a blinding job in getting it up and running. Thanks to the kindness of freecyclers’ we have a shed, some tools, some cherry tree logs which the kids use as stepping stones and seats, and some garden furniture. We have planted potatoes, carrots, onions, cos lettuce and broad beans. It’s a wonderful place to spend time when the weather is good and it’s a great way of clearing your mind leaving room for new ideas and designs.
I’m now spending some time researching filling the party bags and sourcing ethical and environmentally friendly fillers – any ideas welcome !
