This didn't actually start out as an active decision, but there haven't been any young people's faces in my posts for over a year and a half now.

🌿 A couple of months ago, my lovely friend Lewis of Children Of The Forest talked about this and that's when I realised I'd been unconsciously making the same choice; not to use children's faces for what is essentially marketing purposes, even though I did always have permission from them and their grownups.

There's just no need.

I'm grateful my little business doesn't need me to have an especially active social media presence, because I am not good at it.

Mostly, this is a space for me to collect the things I get up to, which essentially functions as a sort of portfolio for parents/carers to get an idea of who I am and if I might be a good fit for their family. It's also a way for kids to kind of meet me without meeting me, if that's helpful. I have wanted to use it for activism more, because I have ✨opinions✨ but I'm also tired and being realistic about what I have bandwidth for in my life.

Having said all of that, I have a surprising number of pictures of young people with their faces obscured in amusing ways, which I will still share - how perfect is this one?

It's been a lot lately - the heat wave(s), my baby flying the nest in a couple of weeks, a parallel thread to my creative journey... 🔥🪹✨ It's all good stuff (apart from the impending collapse of our climate systems, I could do without that worry) but the first thing to get dropped is always the socials and admin (oh god, the invoices).

I'm glad there's nothing about this work that requires an active social media presence, because hi, I'm trash at this bit 😆

Anyway, I don't know if I'm back, or just popping in to say hi.

Hi. 💚

I was chatting with one of my favourite people today and the topic of work came up. I realised I've never talked about it very openly here, but I am invisibly disabled, and being able to do this work keeps my spirit alive. 🩷

♿ Firstly, for a long time I was unable to work (or leave the house, even), so I'm grateful that I've gotten to a place where my body can do as much as it does. There are still long stretches where the fatigue and pain that I experience mean that after work, I don't have anything left 'for me' and all I can do is rest at home. ⚰️

This is where I'm grateful. ✨
I'm grateful that I can do work that I adore, because it means that when there's no energy left at the end of the day or week, I've still been enjoying a creative life that sustains me and I know that I've made a positive impact somewhere in my community.

🐇 the bunnies were mostly for attention, sorry, but they are the current sap of my additional energy. One of my cats keeps just bringing live bunnies into the house, so if you know anyone who can build a good catio, let me know. They can't be released because they're hybrids... 💔

Cozy Sunday bedtime stories with Brown Mouse 🐁 what do you think they're reading? 📚

🤎 If you're following along from my previous post, this is actually a third identical mouse plush, but this one comes with the visible wear of almost a decade of love - my favourite thing to see.

🐭✨🐭 ~ I don't even know how to begin to explain this. Apparently, I left this mouse at someone's house last week... but when I got home, I found my mouse where I was sure it had been sitting on my table since last week.

I am so confused.

Morpheus? Help?

Just popping on to say I'm autistic and aware of it. This is a very low bar, let's do better.

🦋 because not even I can tell myself what to do ✨

But for real, I have lots of examples of the craft prompt already, and then it feels important to show the kids how it can be adapted to fit their specific interests.
