Outside of Mission Magpie I work as a full time artist and many of you have probably seen me working on something quite unusual over this last month! It was an honour to be asked to create two planets, Jupiter and Uranus along with school children from Wolfdale and Eyres Monsell, to be part of the National Space Centre’s Planet Parade that launched yesterday throughout the city.
Uranus is situated at Phoenix Cinema and Jupiter is of course at our beloved Haymarket.

On International Women’s Day I give thanks to the many amazing women I meet through Mission Magpie. When I listen to people’s life stories it reminds me that every one of us are remarkable in our own way.
We endure. We overcome. We create.

The women I meet may have no idea the impact they have on this particular woman but it is immense.

Thank you for just being you. ❤️

Note: Rather fittingly, this is a photo of my daughter in a World Book Day costume from many years ago proving that a girl can rock any man’s job…

Beads!!
Every bag comes from hours spent with piles of broken jewellery, a tray, lots of little bowls and a bingeable tv show!

Anyone fancy a cup of tea and a slice of cake? Pop in to Betsy’s Tearoom at Mission Magpie and have an imaginary tea party just like when we were kids!
