DIY's like crafting

Purchased a new stand to use in the shop, and it came flat packed so putting it together is abit like crafting.
Its a white ladder shelf unit with four shelves of varying width. I'm really pleased with it and looking forward to creating my mothers day window display using it.
 It's been a while since I've built any flat pack furniture I'd almost forgotten how much I enjoy it.  Think I may purchase another one when they get back in stock, I like the ladder look feel it works with the vintage cottagey look I'm trying to achieve in the shop.










Also did abit more baking, got a huge bow of blueberries on special offer so just had to turn some of them in to blueberry and lemon muffins. It was a recipe I hadn't tried before ad was abit surprised how large they came out, however they are very yummy quite moist with the fresh fruit in and not too sweet because of the lemon, the icing was made using icing sugar and lemon juice instead of water, I maybe made it abit too thin as it ran everywhere will make it thicker next time. The book I got it out of suggested an alternative with fresh raspberries and white chocolate on top, think I will try that when the summer gets here.
