Aside from the “kick cancer” cards I’m mostly only making now for myself and for gifts for friends and family, but hope you won’t mind me sharing some makes still! 😏

I’m currently a little bit in love with felt flowers…so rewarding to make and as we now have two giant kittens tearing around the house real flowers are a bit too much of a spillage risk. These are perfect!

I have a whole list of different flowers and foliage to try - watch this space!

Hello everyone! It’s been a long time since I posted and I’m not properly back in business, however…

I made a card like this for a lovely friend of mine and when I shared it in a crafting group, several people asked to buy one, saying it was hard to find cards that suited their friend and family members fighting cancer.

So I’m going to pop them up for sale here. I’ve only made female versions so far, but can adapt to “Hey Fella” or similar, and can make them in any colour scheme.

They’ll be £7 each (plus £1 P&P if they need posting) and I’ll donate £1 from every sale to Cancer Research UK.

If you’d like to order one, just drop me a message or comment below ###

This is a little goodbye post. As you know, I paused taking orders back in the summer and I've decided I'm not going to restart.

I LOVE crafting so much, but trying to make the perfect bespoke personalised designs just takes too much time to be a viable business option. I enjoyed every minute of the experience though, and am so appreciative to everyone who bought from me, or got in touch to say hi and supported me. Thank you! ❤

Because I always have to have something on the go (!) to fill the gap I've instead just signed up as an Usborne partner. I'll be selling their beautiful books, jigsaws and activities over at Bea & Bear Books. I figured I spend half my salary on their books for the boys and gifts, so I may as well join the team! If you'd still like to support me as a local business, I'd love if you could follow my page over there or on Instagram and stick with me on my journey!

I’ve made the tough decision to close to new orders while I regroup and recharge for a few weeks.

I’m so grateful for all the orders I receive, but the balance between day job, home business, kids, husband, family, friends and me time is a little out of kilter at the mo 😏

So I’m taking a little breather, and will be back in August!

Any orders currently placed will stand, but I won’t be taking on any new ones this month.

Thanks for all your support, you’re all amazing! ❤️

Something a little different today with two sparkly toppers for the AMAZING A board by Rozi to go on top of two very special hen do sharing boards.

If you’ve not seen Rozi’s boards before do go and check her out. I can tell you from experience that they are truly delicious and she’s super lovely too! 🥰❤️

More rainbows! The request for this topper was big, gold, glittery and rainbow and I’m in looooove with the end result by the super talented ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

What do you prefer - the gold glittery name and age here, or the white glittery gold name and age on Jess’ cake shared a few days ago?!

I fancy making a black glittery one - think how much those rainbow colours will pop! 😍

I am SO excited about this make that I’m sharing it before the customer has collected it to use, hence the partial shot so as not to ruin any surprises 🙊😄

Honestly, I keep glimpsing the set (yes, there’s more than one!) out of the corner of my eye and they make me smile! Just so twinkly and pretty 🤩 🧜🏼‍♀️💙💜💙
