🌟🍎 BEHIND THE SCENES... currently at The Hidden Hive Workshops 🐝 is little old me... 53 and 5'3'!🤣 working on something exciting!�Apologies are due... because I know I've been quiet on my socials lately but it's because I've had to disappear for a bit... 🤫 ��I'm... quietly... patiently... plotting (with a brand)😉👌 something BIG!!

We (the crocheters of the world) are going to stage a full-blown takeover this September 🍂🍁🍎🙌 All our phones will be put down, our hooks will be lifted, and everyone will be crocheting! 🤣😆 It's going to be like a whole world domination situation, basically... 🧶✊ involving some apples. 🤫

😬 I've been sworn to secrecy and I'm filming 🎬 it ALL atm, so I can't say much more about it right now...🤐🤫
But... ALL will be revealed in September, and then ☝️I promise I will then be able to tell you everything!👏🧶🍎

Until then... this is where I'm hiding... and trying to keep my shizz together... in this heat!🥵🔥☀️🍎

This July saw the launch of a
🌟NEW KINUSAIGA WORKSHOP🌟
How exciting!?!
(I wont make you try to pronounce it 🤣) ☝️just know that it is an incredibly impressive, mindful, 🧘‍♀️no-sew textile art form 👏 that translates to "silk picture".
👌Perfect as a creative wellbeing workshop at The Hidden Hive.🐝
🙌And here are some photos from last week!!!
I just love 💕 looking back at their happy faces, accomplished smiles, proudly presented in finished frames that they then took home!
Photos just speak a thousand words don’t they?
A few spots left more will be loaded soon 🙌👏🥳

😬Real life… it’s is just crazy isn’t it?🫣🤣
☝️The one thing I insist on is that we are ALL allowed to be ‘human’. Raw, real and unapologetically flawed 🤭😁

Those of you who have gotten to know me over the past 2x years 🤷‍♀️at The Hidden Hive Workshops 🐝will now know me, my world, my life…
My dad who has Alzheimer’s🥰… my mum more recently 🥲… and my daughter Chloe who is such a freaking awesome 🎶🎤🎸singer/songwriter/performer (who just needs to get freaking signed!) 🥳 and now… ☝️it’s time for my little man 🫣💕
To say I’m a tad discombobulated this weekend is an understatement 😢😭
I’m trying… but sometimes you just have to 🧘‍♀️sit in the moment and allow all the 👌feels.🥲

Friday we took him to Heathrow ✈️ today he is in the USA 🌎🧤⚽️ beginning his next chapter with a scholarship!! No less 🤷‍♀️ and I am honestly… just needing some time to re-adjust this weekend 🙏🥰

Thank you 🙏 for allowing me to be human, a mum… a woman navigating this next chapter ☝️🥰
It won’t be long… I’ll be back 🤣🤭 just like Arnie!
Thank GOD for crochet 🧶🙌👍

🎶It's been 7hrs and 31 days...🗓️🏆
🙌Since you guys voted 🗳️ and the judging 👩‍⚖️panel decided... that I should be the one to win a 🏆Milton Keynes Inspiration Award for 🌟BEST CREATIVE INDIVIDUAL🌟
🙏I have honestly not said... thank you to you ALL, enough!�
I started The Hidden Hive Workshops 🐝 just a little over 2 years ago... with a ✨💫dream that ☝️'The best thing you could find online, was the reason to go offline' - carefully curating a selection of creative wellbeing workshops for small numbers 💕 to connect, learn to create again, craft and 🧶crochet in a welcoming, safe, no judgment studio, hidden right here, in the heart of Betchley, Milton Keynes.📍
🤷‍♀️And somehow it worked! 👏You got it! You booked and you came and you told your friends, 🥰🙏 your work colleagues - and most importantly ☝️we built it together!🥳�I couldnt do what I do... without YOU!!!�
And... I am honestly so bloody grateful 🙏 that I get to do this every day... ☝️share my passion for the creative arts 🥳 so that I can pass on my teaching knowledge and have the time ⌛️ to be the carer my mum needs and help with dad, who has Alzheimers.🥲

Thank you 🙏 thank you 🙏 thank you 🙏

(🤭 aka Andrew is just about getting used to the fact he is now living with an 🌟AWARD WINNING DESIGNER🌟🙌🤣😂 Although I'm not too sure he is that happy that it is now taking up room on my pillow!!)
FYI: The photo is by no means serious... I dont actually sleep with the award it's☝️just for the shizz and giggles🤭
