Claire! It arrived 2 days ago and I love it. Mum will love it too. I just know it. So amazing to see her legacy of children and grandchildren written out in that way. Thank you for sending so promptly and for doing an amazing job. I know it will be treasured xo⁠

A lovely review from Anna who ordered one of my family trees last week. I love how they mean so much to people - it makes me ever so proud of my little business.⁠
⁠
I'm now offering framing with all family trees - they're framed in a lovely bare oak frame with high quality acrylic glazing. It makes them much harder for Royal Mail to destroy, and looks as good as glass. ⁠

Christmas gifting - sorted! ⁠

Taking care of our mental health today There’s

Taking care of our mental health today

There’s always a period of time, usually about twenty minutes into a hike, when my brain goes “I can’t do this. I’m tired. My legs hurt. It’s steep. I’m scared. I’m fat. I’m too slow.” But I’ve come to recognise it’s a thing my brain does - perhaps in self defence 🤷 - and if I push on, it passes.
Nothing beats that feeling of looking back, looking down and seeing how far we’ve come. I don’t care if I’m out of breath and panting - I feel so alive up here. Filling my lungs with the freshest air I can find, feeling my heart race and finding ravens, rainbows, waterfalls is bliss.
Today we avoided the crowds climbing Great Gable and headed up the steep front of Base Brown from Seathwaite. Another 5:30 start, and 190 of our 214 Wainwrights ticked off. And we feel sooo good for it.

A little wedding loveliness on its way to the post

A little wedding loveliness on its way to the post office this morning.

Love isn’t cancelled and to all of you going ahead with a micro wedding I want to say a huge thank you. I’m loving the enquiries coming in for just a handful of invites, place names, menus etc. (And it’s literally keeping my little business alive and kicking - I’ll still be here when the world comes back)

Can I ask a little favour? My little business has

Can I ask a little favour? My little business has suffered this year with hardly any weddings happening, and no calligraphy workshops. In the run up to Christmas it would really help if you'd occasionally comment or bookmark my posts. A little ♡, a few words or a share would mean the world. And not just for me - for everyone you know with a little business, for every crafty friend making lovely things - Thank you. 🙏💛😘⁠
I've tagged some of my fave maker friends - there are more, I know I've forgotten important people 🤦‍♀️⁠

In the habit of setting our alarms for 5:30 on Sun

In the habit of setting our alarms for 5:30 on Sunday mornings these days, just so we can get across the Lakes before the teeny tiny parking spots fill up. Today we got lucky, set off walking by 8ish and we’re on the tops by 10... as the cloud burned and blew away this found us! A glory / Brocken Spectre caused by magic. (Wiki says science but)
