Gosh, what a day! I had a great time at the @sotonetsy Christmas market, thank you so much if you visited! I’m so grateful for all the support I get for my little biz 💕#blog
Here’s another one from my #pinnedpaintingpractice sketchbook. I’ve always loved interiors and styling - that was the best part of the Sims, right?! I’ve been prepping for the @sotonetsy market today, which is next Sunday! I also took the afternoon off and drove up to visit my Grandma, and now it’s back to the desk - lots to do this week 🖌 #blog
It’s Indie Week, a campaign by @justacard to encourage and promote the independent crafters and makers out there! While I’m not participating daily, I thought I’d pop on today because the theme is ✨Community✨, and that’s at the core of what I do. This is such an important part of my business, so I couldn’t not share some of my favourite makers and go to’s for inspiration! Have a look on the hashtag as well as the accounts I’ve tagged above to get inspired and find some really talented beans! x #justacard #blog
I’ve managed to tick loads off my to do list this weekend so I decided to grab my iPad and do some drawing. I felt really rusty!! I go through phases of drawing loads and then not doing much at all... but I think that’s the same for most of my hobbies. Hope you all had a good weekend! ✨ #blog
Had a lot of fun photographing my Christmas collection at the weekend... 6 weeks til the big day you guys! I felt so inspired watching @hollyboothstudio in her live video with @luckydipclub in the @indie_roller group last week and it really helped give me the drive to properly style the photos. Obviously I made a right mess in my lounge, put it all away and realised I’d not photographed the planners I’d designed too 🙈 so that’ll be this weekends task then 😂 #blog
And just like that, the weekend is over already 😭 I’ve spent the day photographing all my Christmas cards, so it’s been productive (you can see a sneak peek in my stories!) Here’s a piece I lettered a while ago, and I feel like I’m really starting to get a hang of it. It’s easy to say you don’t pay attention to the numbers, but a lot harder to action! I’ve been staying true to myself and posting what I love instead, and worrying less about likes and approval. It’s made me feel more relaxed about what I post and, though I’m a long way off totally disconnecting from likes, I’m so grateful for this community I’ve built and I’m focusing on that more than anything! 💕 #blog
✨I need some advice! I’m struggling to switch off at the moment and consequently am struggling to sleep! Any tips?! I’m trying to look at my phone less and have been reading/doing sudoku before bed, but as soon as my head hits the pillow my brain is awake again thinking about literally everything 🙈 My 6am alarm can’t change so I’m exhausted 😴💤 I’m currently thinking a sleepy time tea and practicing some more mindfulness could help 🧘🏼‍♀️☕️ #blog
Art journaling is one of the things I can do without having to think too much. Whereas a lot of the illustrations I create require a bit of prep work and refinement, art journaling is relaxing and there’s no pressure. I used to create pages a lot more during uni - it was like a giant brain dump and a place for experiments. I have a huge box of collage stuff (tickets and cards, printed pieces of art, postcards and little written notes) to be journaled one day, though sadly it gets pushed aside a lot of the time! I’ve posted 10 journaling prompts on the blog if you need a starting point for your own, but I love looking through mine. Do you journal, or have you always wanted to? 📒🖌 #blog
