It's difficult to show the true size of some of these signs. This one is approx 22cm by 100cm in length when postioned in a row. My desk is large but not large enough to do that so Ive postioned the words as shown. It depends on your wall space. If I know the size of the area for your sign I can adapt to ensure it will fit for you. Just message me if you have any questions.

So litrally out here in the garage, making stuff this morning!!

Ive been sooooo quiet on here. The pressure of being "present and seen" as a business on social media has just been overwhelming to be honest so I've just diconnected from it.

I've also got other things going on, Im an Occupational Therapist and also a wedding photographer. Somehow this week I will be wearing the hat of all 3 jobs!!

When I'm not completely procrastinating I'm 100 miles an hour and can burn out, like i did last year. So with that in mind im planning on adding yet another business ( contradiction I know), but this one will all be about adding balance to my life, and hopefully other peoples too!!

Oh and Happy New Year to all of you. I have so many repeat customers and feel so lucky and forever grateful!!!!!

Feeling sad. I usually ship an order out at least once a week to the USA. From today, the de-minimal rule for items under $800 has been scrapped, so all items in the shop will potentially be subject to tariffs. Gutted. Has anyone else been affected by this, or maybe knows and understands more about it than I do?

Okay, you lovely people, I need some help please. I know that I've been very quiet recently, but I am hoping to have a bit of a tweak and create new products soon for the shop. Part of this will be adding more colour options for the Door Toppers and all products in the Perspex. My question is, should I offer all of these colours, or is that too much choice?

If you think less is more and you have time, please comment with your favourites. It would be very much appreciated.

Much love

Not sure if it's what people do but I've brought a little bit of this lilac tree inside. I've decided this summer I will mainly be focusing on all things natural and beautiful. It's all about the happy vibes and this lilac makes me happy!

DON'T BE A DICK Is popular today. Even sending out a tiny little gold one to go on a cake. Awesome idea. Maybe I should do some cake Toppers?? Give me some ideas please. If I like it I'll make it for you if you ( as long as you are UK)

So just going to leave this up, in my kitchen. House is fully of teenagers so I my opinion totally appropriate parenting. Although it does need too be plural. I love them really, and they know!!

Think I'll work on these and add to the shop soon. They are much smaller than my Door Toppers, super cute and free standing. Plus why have I not used more gold!!!?

Guess what my Mum's going to be Getting for Mothers Day!?? I know I'm 45 now but hoping she's still impressed I've made everything, even the tea light pot. Not the lace, although my mind is now thinking, hmm could I??

I've found myself making soap and other natural products as a form of relaxation and hoping to reduce plastic and artificial/synthetic products in my own home. It's all very much a, work in progress but enjoying the journey so far, plus my room smells amazing.

I only have so much soap available at this point as it's not as simple as making and then selling. There are processes to go through, like safety assessments in order to sell and also time as soap needs a few weeks to cure and only have a certain amount that tick those boxes. ( got like 2 tonnes of practice bars!!) .

If anyone would like a bar to go in the Mothers Day boxes I'll be adding on Monday please let me know . And happy for local collection or delivery (Northallerton, Darlington areas)

Still in love with this sign. One of the very first I made to go in my shop. I have it up in my own bathroom but love when my awesome customers send me images of their beautiful rooms, room envy! Always grateful you support my little business

I invested in a UV printer last year and I just totally neglected it, like alot of things over the last 12 months. Anyway, getting to grips with it now and giving it the attention it deserves. I will be adding these stand up prints very soon. Xx
