Do you remember these notepad designs that I share

Do you remember these notepad designs that I shared a while ago?

I have tweaked these so much and changed the colours round and round in circles and they keep coming back to these colour combinations. So I think it's time to send them to print and call them done!

I'm posting this as a bit of accountability, as soon as I've posted this, I'll be sending them to print and will check back later to say that I've done it.

EDIT: Eeeek! They have been sent to print! 🥳

I’m back and it’s the Mondayest Tuesday there

I’m back and it’s the Mondayest Tuesday there was!

How are you doing? I've had a lovely week off, there was much cake eaten, much tea was drunk, we spent a few days by the coast and a change of scene was just what the Dr ordered.

A break away from work has got me all inspired again for the months to come. I had been working on a collection of new products before going away and I'm really excited about sharing those with you.

I also had the chance to do some drawing for fun whilst I was away, which is really rare for me and I created something that I had been meaning to for YEARS! If you’ve watched my Instagram stories, you might know what it was but I’ve got that to show you too. I felt far too serious and "businessy” before our holiday and worried so much about the nuts and bolts of running a business. So, I hope to inject a bit more fun into my work from now on - that's why I do all this in the first place, because I enjoy it and there were a few things I just wasn't enjoying, so here's to finding the joy again and having fun!

BE RIGHT BACK 👋 I've had a last minute change

BE RIGHT BACK 👋

I've had a last minute change of plans today and after the slight initial panic of "ahhh but I need to do all the things!" I've realised that a week off has actually come at the best time.

I had all the plans to send some new products to print today, ready to launch when I returned from a week off in a few weeks time. I would probably be tempted to do "just a little bit of work" whilst officially "off work" and then return more stressed than before, to launch said products and nobody wants that! The Universe had other ideas, and my week off has been moved forward a week and as I said it couldn't be better timing. I will rest properly during that time and return refreshed ready to fine tune, print and launch the new collection when I return.

So, I have extended the shipping times on my shops, you'll still be able to shop from both my website and Etsy and it'll either get dispatched first thing tomorrow morning (order before 9am BST) or on Friday 30th April.

Shiny clocking out till this time next week 👋

Happy Monday! 🌈 This morning I'm feeling extre

Happy Monday! 🌈

This morning I'm feeling extremely grateful and excited! The Bundle event on Saturday was a great success, I had a few lovely orders, some great conversations with you throughout the day. It also felt great to be able to support some of my fellow indie businesses and buy some lovely things. I then took a proper day off yesterday, a sunny walk in the park, a touch of gardening and then a roast, Call the Midwife and Line of Duty meant that I now feel well rested and excited for what's to come.

Bundle was the first of many events coming up throughout this year, I'm working on a collection of new products that I'm really excited about, the sun is shining and I'm feeling so hopeful with things slowly opening up and being able to meet real life people. So many feelings this morning!

That coffee is now gone, but today I'm making ALL the plans, will be packing your bundle orders from the weekend and hope to get outside at some point because it looks lovely.

I hope you have a lovely sunshiney week. ☀️
