WASH YOUR HANDS

In an effort to stop endlessly scrolling through (terrifying) social media every evening after Eli goes to bed, I’ve been trying to get to grips with Procreate on my iPad. I’ve dabbled with it over the years but always end up back in illustrator, everyone else seems to love it though so I’m giving it more of a chance this time around! Unsurprisingly my inspiration right now is still driven by current events. 😬😅 Any recommendations for brushes/tutorials?

Well gang, how did your first working week in lock

Well gang, how did your first working week in lockdown go? Personally I’ve found it hard to concentrate. Eli hasn’t been napping well either, so pockets of work have been few and far between! Still, we’re fine. Healthy, food in the cupboards, and doing our bit for the NHS by STAYING AT HOME!
I mentioned on my stories last week that I’ve reduced the price of my Zero to Shopify course to £10 (+ VAT) for the foreseeable future, it’s normally £149. Small businesses like mine (and yours!) have been hit hard by Covid-19, with shop closures and market/fair cancellations, and a slow down in online sales. I want to make my course accessible to as many people as possible right now, in a hope that those who would benefit from an online presence at this time could get their stores online ASAP. The tenner charge means I can dedicate time this weekend and next week to updating the content and adding other useful information into the course, and helps prop up the income I’ve lost from a few projects that have understandably been cancelled over the next couple of months.
I’ve added a link in my bio to the course, and I’d love if you could share this with anyone you think might benefit!

What a funny old day. As if this Mother’s Day wasn’t going to be weird enough (first one as a mum, first one without a mum), there’s distancing to deal with too!

That said, we’ve had a lovely day. Eli made me breakfast in bed (waffles! Adam might have helped 😅), we’ve spent time in the garden, I’ve played some Animal Crossing, and it’s been pretty chill.

I’ve spent lots of time today thinking about my Mum. Remembering our big family breakfast out last year where she had to have a huge slice of cake as pudding after her eggs benedict 😂 (I obviously joined her, I was a ravenous preggo at the time). I’m sure she’d have been glued to her iPad keeping up with the current situation! As my brother mentioned earlier today, you might be apart from your Mums today but it’s only temporary, FaceTime is a wonderful thing, & it’s not worth the risk to visit in person. 📸 Photo of me (looking scarily like Eli) and my Mum! Bonus points if you spot the photobombing grandma 🤣

We’re trying to keep busy and as ‘normal’ as

We’re trying to keep busy and as ‘normal’ as possible over here. Today would’ve been our weekly messy play art class at @artyexplorers, but understandably classes are postponed right now. Luckily I bought a tuff tray just last week ready for summer garden fun, it got its first outing today in the kitchen where we had a mini messy play of our own!

I used what we had: some courgettes turned into courgetti, some oats, a crushed up weetabix, and I made some ‘cloud dough’/moon sand from a recipe I found on Pinterest. I just plonked it’s all in piles on the tray, all taste safe and different textures for E to touch. He spent a good half an hour playing with it all and having fun, it was a nice break from the news cycle for all of us.

Thinking of you all x

Annnnnd that’s a wrap! The final batch of names

Annnnnd that’s a wrap! The final batch of names from my collab with @onrshop 💞 One hundred and thirteen name necklaces ready to be sent out to their new homes 😅 that’s 452 pieces, all prepped in illustrator, engraved and cut, hand painted, and stuck together 🥴 Now the big task of packaging starts and I’ll be sending them over the next few days! Keep an eye out if you’re expecting one!
