As the mornings are feeling crisp, the leaves are beginning to turn and the nights are drawing in, I think it's safe to say we are well and truly in Autumn now 🍂

So here is your one chance to see me in person until the Christmas Crazies begin 😬

I will be at the Rec Community market THIS SUNDAY from 10-4!
As always it will be free entry, with loads of amazing local traders and live music from midday too 🎵

I will have spooky goodies and some cosy autumnal vibes, as well as plenty of perfect gifts for those of you who start your festive shopping early 😉

Come and see us, say hi and maybe treat yourself to something special ✨️

🗓 Sunday 4th October
⏰️ 10am-4pm
📍Old Heath Recreation Ground

Just a quick update for you all 💫
My orders books are still open! But there is now a slightly longer processing time of 3-4 weeks. I will endeavour to get them done sooner, but I want realistic expectations

There is a lot going on behind the scenes, and I hate to mention the C word so early, but I need to start preparing Christmas stock for a very busy festive period! 🎄

Everything I sell is handmade by me. It's just me, and mum helping cutting and prepping.
I'll be super honest, last year the burnout was real 😩 we were working way past midnight regularly and I can't put us through that again!

So, if you're one of the organised ones then firstly I salute you 🫡 and secondly, now is the best time to get in touch for those Christmas orders!

There's a chance I will close custom orders as we get into winter (premade stock will still be available), so don't miss out 😊

If you have seen me at recent events, you may have noticed this new poster ⬆️

The epidemic of generative AI is scary, I won't lie.
Seeing sloppy event posters, false advertising stock images and lame, samey captions everywhere can make it really hard to know what's real and what isn't.

So I want to make it clear that there's no AI shenanigans here! I make all posts myself. Photography? That's me too.
It may not be polished or perfect, but it's real.

Let's stop utilising these toxic data centres, feeding the rich and stealing other artists' work and just go back to how we all used to do this stuff before AI came around 🫶
