It isn't even the end of February and I am not going to lie I am already burned out. I need tips from the fellow broken folk the soloprenurs with kids and life juggling to do who worry too much. Where are my people at!

I have a number of physical and mental chronic conditions that I juggle (I speak more about these on my personal account )

Managing those is juggle enough but life can be a tricky fu**er at times as well.....

So many things that were supposed to be done by now are jot and my focus is split in many ways and I feel like all things are priority 1 and they kinds are.

Here is part of a kit that should be launched by now.

Ps. Have you noticed if I big firm like Microsoft are really late on a launch and then they release it with loads of errors it doesn't matter but lone businesses are screwed????

I am obsessed with paper and books they are like babies.....bare with me I have a theory.

People like babies even if they look at them for just a minute because babies are potential. In an often chappy world they are untouched by the bu****it and have the potential to be anything. And that is wonderful.

A black sheet of paper or an empty book has that similar vibe. It is a thing of beauty because it hold the potential of all things.

If you want to start a bookbinding love affair and spend the day with a fellow paper lover
You can we are running a workshop next year and tickets are available now via

The tactility of books is what keeps me making them.

I made this set of 4 seasonal notebooks for anyone like me who loves to make little drawings and write notes as I explore nature throughout the year.

With a little calligraphy detail.

I actually only have one set left online

Thank you to everyone who came to visit me at the market this weekend. I will be at Waddow Hall this Saturday with they are putting in quite the event

Having an ace day so far for the first of their Christmas markets.

I am here until 5 and back again tomorrow.

Feeling very festive now being a part of people's gift gathering adventures. It is such an honour that something you have made becomes an item gifted to someone they love.

All the feels 🎄🎄🎄🎄

I thought I would continue to promote other independent businesses.

is hands down the best place. I have always shopped from them online or when they visit fairs but recently I went to Kendal and it felt like a pilgrimage (an hour up the road but still)

They sell all manner of craft items from yarn to fabric and books.....speaking of

Sarah is now 4 books deep in the creation of the world of Luna Lapin. A few years ago I made Alfie and Reynard (swipe to see). I wrote a series of children's stories about the characters. They are the favourite toys so Sarah helped me to craft memories and family heirlooms

Ps it is the best and nicest Facebook community
