✨ Small Business Shout Out & A Little Celebration ✨

Today marked my 70th visit to Kerry webb and it was review day! 🎉

I’m delighted to say that all my stats are moving in the right direction, but the biggest win for me is that my muscle mass has increased while my body fat has continued to decrease. 💪

I’m currently on week 3 of a 21-day Sculpt Challenge with Kerry’s Club and an amazing group of people. It’s been just the boost I needed to refocus, introduce more workouts into my routine, and work on building muscle. After today’s results, I’m so pleased to see that the effort is paying off!

Like everyone, I’ve had a few relaxed days along the way, but one thing I’ve gained from this journey is the tools and mindset to get straight back on track. My energy levels have improved, I’m feeling great, and with a few tweaks to my routine and an additional product added into my daily habits, I’m seeing and feeling the difference. ✨

A huge shout-out to Kerry who has been incredibly supportive throughout. Her knowledge of health and nutrition is second to none, and she’s always there with encouragement when needed. ❤️

I also have 5 gift vouchers worth £50 available for a wellness check. If you’d like one, drop me a message. If you can’t get to Kerry’s club in person, don’t worry—she also offers online consultations. 💥

Summer isn’t over yet, and there’s still time to work towards those goals you’ve been putting off. The question is… what are you waiting for? ☀️💪

✨ Story & Craft Club ✨
We are super excited to have the lovely Courtney from Lilli-Lou’s Book Corner back to the Craft Shed📚✨

Together we are bringing you a wonderful mix of children’s books and crafts for an hour of creative fun with your little ones.

We’re kicking things off with the perfect zoo themed story - Are You There Little Tiger? 🐯 followed by a hands-on activity where children will foam clay their very own tided pottery piece.

The session begins with Courtney reading this beautiful story, with little ones encouraged to join in as much as they like.

Afterwards, they’ll get creative decorating their tiger using colourful foam clay – you can even mix the colours together to create your own unique shades!

Even better… you’ll take home your own copy of the book along with your finished craft so the story fun can continue at home.

A lovely way to combine stories, creativity and special time with your little ones. In a world full of screens, let’s bring stories to life the old-fashioned way 💛

🐾❤️ Just look at this gorgeous heart hanger ❤️🐾

When your fur baby and your human baby are the very best of friends, what better way to capture that bond forever than with a beautiful keepsake print 🥹

These adorable prints were created using paint, but did you know we can also capture them as clay prints or outprints too? ✨

The perfect way to treasure tiny hands, little paws, and memories that will last a lifetime 💕

If you’d love to create your own special keepsake, simply drop us a message to book your appointment — we absolutely love helping you make magical memories with your loved ones 🐶👶❤️

Here’s a little snippet of what I get up to once the shutters go down… personalising pottery ✍🏻✨

I tend to do this part at home after finishing at the studio as I can really get into the flow of it better. I head into my little cluttered craft room, put some music on and work the magic.

Honestly, it’s one of my favourite parts of the job — taking your creations and turning them into special keepsakes to treasure 💛

Ok… this is a little proud mummy and step-dad moment that we just had to share 🥹🫶

For those that may not know, our son George is blind and autistic, and for the last 2 years he has been learning to DJ through DJ Archie School 🎧✨

Watching his confidence, talent and love for music grow has honestly been incredible.

His tutor Stuart is absolutely phenomenal — not just with George, but with all the young people he supports through his agency. Recently, he managed to secure an amazing opportunity for some of the kids to perform at the Isle of Wight Dance Weekender 🌴🎶

To see George up there playing a set was such an emotional and proud moment for us as a family 💗

Not only that, but he also got to meet some incredible artists… and even more amazingly, some had already seen his socials! Huge thank you to Professor Green, Aaron Crascall and Majestic for being so kind and for giving George a mention on your socials too 🫶

And I have to say… the UK Garage Brunch tent was definitely one of my highlights 🙌 Hearing my all-time favourite garage anthem “Flowers” by Sweet Female Attitude live absolutely made my weekend 🌸🎶

It honestly means so much when people tell us they’ve seen George’s DJ videos on Facebook or TikTok. Your support, comments, shares and encouragement really do make a difference.

So thank you for cheering on our boy… or should we say… DJ Blindbeats 🎧💙

Last month’s toddler messy play workshops were all about dinosaurs 🦖 and unicorns 🦄 and so much fun was had across the 3 part sessions.

There was mess, paint, balloons, bubbles, jelly, and lots lots more sensory fun for the little ones to explore ✨

These workshops are a great way for children to help develop socialising skills, support tactile sensitivity and encourage learning through play.

Our June and July workshops are now live on the website before we take a little break in August, and spaces are filling fast.
