Ellie's Beautiful Mess

Ellie's Beautiful Mess Bright, handmade gift shop I'm Ellie, a mama of two and this beautiful mess started out as just me, my sewing machine and a pile of felt.

Every handmade piece is unique and little different from the last as I design everything myself and I don't use templates - that is the beauty of buying handmade products. My website www.elliesbeautifulmess.com is where you can order goodies to make your home a little messier - in the most beautiful way! Please message with any queries (or for a chin wag) and I'll be more than happy to help :)

The times I’ve felt low are the times I stopped creating and making things.

We aren’t designed just to consume, human beings are supposed to create and make and dance and sing.

Slow day.
“I’m not getting dressed too quickly” day
The world doesn’t need me today day.
Being me for myself is so fu***ng luxurious I’m drinking it up.
I find I can commit to arrangements all week long as long as I have this time to recharge.

Turning all the orangey pine furniture in my house into savagely pretty things, one tester pot at a time

(Project cost £1.99 for a tester pot of duck egg emulsion. A tenner for the cabinet from a car boot sale). So chuffed with it.

People would occasionally message me with brilliant ideas and say how they wanted to start a business and ask if I had any advice.
What an honour that was!

I would always say the same thing. “Just start” just make a move.

Small, unready, unfinished but just start off in that direction.

I’m now taking my own advice and giving up on the idea of being perfectly ready. I am not.

Watching someone build (or rebuild) from the ground up is far more interesting anyway.

Just start.

Hello.

I have had a long break because…life. And have been trying to work out how I can “come back” because this now feels so alien to me.

I decided to just show you me painting my bedroom wall because I was really overthinking this whole thing.

Hello, I’m Ellie. I make things and sell online …. And I now have a pretty stripy wall.
