Another 90 hand-painted pin badges added to the collection 👀✨

Sharing a little update from my little sister 💛🦮

While she won’t be running the London Marathon today, the journey definitely doesn’t stop here. She’s deferred her place until next year, so we’ve got another year of fundraising ahead and I’m so proud to be part of it through Kindly Crafted Creations 🫶🏻✨

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported the craft stalls so far, as every single purchase and donation is making a difference and goes to Guide Dogs UK. We’re excited to keep going, with more stalls, more creations, and lots more to come!

Let’s see how much we can raise together over the next year. We’ve already reached her £2000 target!! 💛🌻

A little update… 🏃🏻‍♀️✨

I had hoped to be running the London Marathon today with nearly 60,000 other people, but due to unforeseen circumstances I’ve had to defer my place until next year, 2027.

I’m so grateful for all the support so far, it truly means so much 💛 I’ll be cheering everyone on today and can’t wait to follow all their journeys online!

A huge thank you to my older sister Kathryn for everything she’s done through Kindly Crafted Creations and all the craft stalls to support my fundraising. I couldn’t have done it without you - make sure to check out her page for more details and see all her crafty creations. Every penny she raises goes directly into my fundraising pot for Guide Dogs! 🫶🏻💖

The positive is that I now have an extra year to train, prepare, and continue fundraising for such an amazing cause - I’ve already reached my £2000 target, but I wonder how much more we can raise for Guide Dogs UK. Here’s to a year of hard training, more fundraising, many more craft stalls and coming back stronger for 2027 💪🏻✨

If you want to stick around for another year, I promise to post more updates! 🏃🏻‍♀️🦮

🍓✨ Still in creative mode… ✨🍓

Following on from my last post, I’ve been having a creative day 💛

I’ve painted five wooden bookmarks with this strawberry print - each one slightly different, but all just as cute 🍓

Finished with a red tassel to match ❤️

These will be £3 each, alongside the other hand-painted wooden decorations that used to be sold plain (I think I like them better in colour, and hope you do too!) ✨

Simple, bright, and perfect for adding a little bit of joy to your reading 📚

Available at The Yard Market tomorrow 👀

📍 The Steeple, Dundee
⏰ 11am – 4pm

🦮 100% of proceeds go to Guide Dogs UK 💛

🎨✨ A little glow-up… ✨🎨

Sitting on my stall for a while has been my “plain on purpose” tray - filled with wooden bits for people to decorate themselves 🤍

But what I’ve realised is… people love things that are already finished 👀

So ahead of The Yard Market tomorrow, I’ve spent some time giving them a makeover 💛

Now you’ll find:
Hand-painted heart decorations
Circle decorations
Little gift boxes

All painted by hand and ready to go ✨

💛 £3 each

🦮 100% of proceeds go to Guide Dogs UK

Here’s a little sneak peek while they’re still drying…

Can you tell I really love my lavender and strawberry designs? 🧑🏻‍🎨🍓✨
