The sun's out so I decided to treat myself to a nice Strawberry drizzle frappé from Costa before getting Dakota from school

Good morning 😊

That yellow object has appeared in the sky again, the sky is blue and not a cloud in sight 👀 Could Spring be making an early appearance 🤞🏻
We spotted some beautiful daffodils yesterday in the park on our way to the childminder.

I've dropped Dakota off at school choir club and now popping to the high street before going home and logging onto my laptop for the day job.

Thanks to Laura at Laura's Beauty Boutique Public Page for coming to my rescue with a plaster earlier when I bumped into her 🩹

I didn't get to fix the pet blanket last night as Mr Crafts gave both that I had made to his friend without noticing the error 🫣 But ah well I must remember next time to make sure he's listening when I say I need to fix it 🤣

What are your plans for today?

Have a great day xx

So… I was happily making a pet blanket yesterday, feeling very productive, very professional…
And then I finished it.

Took a step back.
I looked at it.
Paused.

Can you spot the error? 🙈😂

Nothing like getting to the very end of a project to realise you’ve made a tiny little mistake that now screams at you louder than a toddler who’s missed a snack.

Just a gentle reminder that behind every small business is a human, a heat press, and at least one “HOW did I not notice that?!” moment 🤣

Not everything is perfect, and sometimes accidents happen… but hey, that’s all part of the handmade life! 💕

☕ PART 5 OF 10: The Skin Forms

I lifted the mug again.
Slowly. Cautiously. Like it might emotionally disappoint me.

And there it was.

The skin.

Thin. Silent.
Floating on the surface like it paid council tax and owned the place.

I froze.
Because now there were only two options:

1️⃣ Drink it and pretend it’s not there
2️⃣ Acknowledge it… and accept reality

I gave it a gentle stir.
A desperate stir.
A “maybe it will disappear and we can move on” stir.

It didn’t.
It just… folded into itself.
Suspiciously.

This was no longer the perfect cup of tea.
This was a tea that had been abandoned.
Neglected.
Emotionally altered.

And honestly?
I felt judged.

Part 5 of 10. To be continued… ☕🫠

Happy Tuesday from Dakota Crafts 😊✨

Yesterday was one of those days… you know the ones where you think, “I should’ve just stayed in bed” 🤣

I managed to make two gorgeous pet blankets 🐾 — although one will be making a return to the craft table because SOMEONE (me 🙋🏻‍♀️) didn’t w**d it properly and only noticed right at the very end… after pressing. Of course. Standard behaviour. 🙈

But hey — that’s small business life! We fix it, we learn, we carry on 💪

Today I’m working on a brand new bag design 👀 and I’ve got some lovely testers lined up which I’m so excited about. I can’t wait to show you what I’ve been creating!

Also… I’ve decided to start a separate Instagram to document my personal journey — weight loss, swimming lessons (yes, still learning to float properly 🤣), and just juggling life, work and everything in between.

If you’d like to follow along for the real, honest, unfiltered version of me, you can find me at 💙
It’s all about progress, not perfection.

What are your plans for today?
Let’s hope it’s less chaotic than my Monday 😂

Have a lovely day everyone x 💕

Good Morning ☕️✨

Me on Sunday night:
“Fresh start tomorrow. New week. New energy.”

Me this morning:
“Why am I awake. Who approved this. I was not consulted.”

And just like that… it’s back to school after half term! 📚🎒

We’ve actually had such a busy one — juggling work, a girly morning with cinema and lunch, swimming lessons, a day trip to Legoland, and then TWO trips to the pool at the weekend for inflatable fun and a “swim”.

By “swim” I obviously mean me attempting to stay afloat while Dakota very seriously taught me how to kick my legs properly 🤣 I’m not entirely convinced I’ve mastered floating yet… is that a life skill you can just forget?!

Today starts with an appointment and then it’s straight into the day job, followed by Beavers for Dakota this evening. I’m also hoping to squeeze in some crafting and make two blankets 🤞 because apparently I think I have 47 hours in a day.

New week. New energy. Slightly questionable motivation.

What’s everyone got planned today? ☀️

20/02/2026

My happy ass is just popping in to wish you a FABULOUS FRIDAY ✨

But also… HOW has half term gone that fast?!
I blinked and suddenly it’s “back to school next week” like excuse me??? I was not consulted. I am not prepared. Emotionally, mentally or lunchbox-ly 😭

This week has been a full mix of chaos, snacks, “I’ll do that later” energy… AND I still worked 3 days at the day job because apparently bills don’t respect half term 🙃

I even went back to swimming lessons yesterday after missing a week due to being ill…
and it would appear I have completely forgotten how to float 🙈🤣
Is that even a thing?! Because I was in that pool like a confused brick.
Graceful? No.
Floating? Also no.
Survived? Barely.

Today we’re off to Legoland 🧱🎢
So far the weather is looking promising 🤞🏻 and I would very much like it to stay that way because rain + theme park + tired adult = absolutely not the vibe.

Expecting:
🎢 Excitement
🍟 overpriced snacks
📸 500 photos I won’t delete
😅 aching legs
☕ a desperate caffeine top-up by 11am

Half term has flown by, my house is louder, my snack cupboard is emptier, and my energy levels are questionable… but the memories (and mild chaos) have been worth it 😂

What are your plans for this fabulous Friday?
Have the best day 💛

Happy Wednesday 😊

It's my day off today so we're having some mummy and daughter time this morning 💞

We're going to the cinema to watch Madagascar as Cineworld has it as their Movie 4 Juniors film this week. £2 a ticket, you can't go wrong especially when the popcorn costs a fortune 😂
So I shall be embracing my inner King Julien 🤣

No trip to the cinema is complete without McDonald's for lunch 🍔🍟 we'll also going to have a look around the shops before going home amd getting ready for Dakota's swimming lesson 🏊🏻‍♀️

What are you all up to? Are you on half term this week?

Have a great day xx

☕ PART 4 OF 10: First Distraction

I turned my back for one second.
Just one.

The tea sat there.
Perfect. Vulnerable. Trusting.

Then it happened.

A notification.
A “quick” reply.
Something that absolutely could have waited but didn’t.

“I’ll be right back,” I thought.
Foolishly.
Confidently.

Minutes passed.
Silent minutes.
Judgemental minutes.

When I finally turned back…
the steam was gone.
The warmth had faded.

The tea hadn’t moved.
But the moment had.

I picked up the mug.
It was still warm-ish.
Still hopeful.

I told myself it was fine.
It wasn’t cold.

Yet.

Part 4 of 10. To be continued… ☕😐

15/02/2026

I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone for your 'get well soon' wishes 💝

I'm feeling much better now, still a bit tired but definitely much more human like.
Dioralyte is amazing 🤣

I won't be around much this week as it's half term but there will still be the occasional post and the next installment of the tea saga ☕🫖
I'll also be using the evenings to try and catch up with all comments and leaving you all some 🫶🏻🩷
