Just checking in and saying hello!

My social media is one of the things I simplify or stop when life takes over!
Sometimes I share as I go through different phases. I think that helps to keep things real and not ‘Instagram perfect’… other times I sort of disappear for a bit.

This is one of those disappear for a bit chapters.

I will be back on social media just needing a break from it.

is still very much still here…craft and chats still running…one to one well-being sessions still happening!

Just other bits and pieces are on hold for a while.

It’s okay to simply things as and when you need to. All the plates don’t have to keep spinning. Hope this is a gentle reminder for anyone who needs it 💜

How fabulous that the wonderful quirky creations is using our space to sell their fabulous handmade gorgeousness!

Sam found and we taught her to crochet….not only did she get completely hooked… she volunteered many many hours to help keep our space running!

Seeing her beautiful creations always reminds me of the ripple effect has.

I know it’s been quiet on socials for a while… I will be back at some point… just needing to use energy elsewhere right now 💜

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reminder ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I will be at NoLabels today only! Come along and get a lovely handmade gift for Mothers Day, birthdays or other occasions

Open from 10am until 4pm. Don’t miss out!

A gentle reminder from me to you…
and also a reminder to myself — because I got stuck in a quirky thought loop too.

Rest is not something you have to justify.

If your body feels heavy, slow, foggy, or done…
that’s information, not failure.

This season asks a lot of us.
It’s okay if your system needs more quiet than productivity.

You’re allowed to pause.
You’re allowed to do less.
You’re allowed to stop pushing.

Nothing is “wrong” with you for needing rest.

You are not failing because you haven’t done
the things on the list in your head.

There is no rule that says you must suddenly
start the year as you mean to go on —
get everything sorted, cleared, and organised
ready for the mythical “fresh start after Christmas”.

If you’re not feeling that enforced zest
for productivity and organisation,
this is your reminder (and mine):

That is okay.
And you are not a failure because of it 💜

Share with someone who might need this reminder today.

25/12/2025

However today looks for you — busy or quiet, joyful or heavy, or somewhere in between — please know this:

You’re okay just as you are.
You’re human… humaning the best you can.

Not everyone experiences today in the same way.

This is your reminder:
You don’t need to feel grateful, cheerful, social, or “festive enough”.
You don’t have to force a smile or pretend.

You do you — and that is enough.

If you can…
🌿 take the day at your own pace
🌿 rest if you need to
🌿 reach out if it helps
🌿 be gentle with yourself

From all of us at , I’m thinking of you today. 💜

Navigating the Season with Kindness

This time of year can feel magical for some…
and really heavy for others.

Not everyone is excited for Christmas.
Not everyone has family to visit.
Not everyone can afford gifts, food, plans or celebrations.
Not everyone feels emotionally able for it all.

So instead of asking:
✨ “Are you ready for Christmas yet?”
🎁 “Got all your presents?”
🎄 “What are your plans?”

Maybe try something gentler…

💜 “How are you coping with the season?”
💜 “How’s this time of year feeling for you?”

Small shifts in language can make a big difference.
Not everyone needs cheer — some people just need kindness.

is here for the ones who find this season tough —
and the ones supporting others through it.

You’re not alone.
You matter.
And it’s okay to feel exactly as you feel.

The first of Quirky Creations pop up shops is happening tomorrow! So wonderful to be able to offer this opportunity to Sam… a little thank you for all the hard work she has done in helping me keep going! 💜

Some of you already know that I am also a Neals Yard consultant… I love these products.

The wild rose beauty balm is still the best product ever! And now they do a vegan version!

I have not been involved much with Neals Yard this year. I just haven’t had the brain space/energy for it all.

Yet I thought I would share this sale as it might help a few people save some pennies!

A little pause and a cuppa to reflect on this week at 💜

✂️ Our Craft & Chat and Stitch & Natter groups filled the space with conversation, laughter, and kindness.
🎨 Our Create with workshop brought colour, calm, and connection — just as it always does.
💬 I’ve had sessions here at HQ and out in the community — each one reminding me how useful some of my knowledge still is to people!
🌟 And there’s something new and exciting beginning to take shape behind the scenes… I can’t wait to share more soon.

It’s been a full week — the kind that leaves me tired but thankful.

Trying (as always!) not to prep or stress too much about the exciting things ahead —
the Pop-Up Shops with Quirky Creations
and the Christmas Crafts I’m still to organise!
