Life is pretty messy sometimes, especially right now. 😑 Please take care of yourself, take a break, eat a snack, create something with your hands, pick some flowers, hug a friend, pet a kitty, and try to relax. ❤️ #selfcare #bekindtoyourself #relax #selfmotivation #cuteart #cats #doodle

Posting more past projects - Lockdown 2020 (as I was furloughed from my job) I still have this somewhere unframed! 🦔 I never know what to do with finished kits like these so I just keep them 😅 no wonder my craft storage is getting out of control 🙃 #craftlife #lockdownproject #crossstitch #stitching

My boyfriend’s brother saw this “Life’s a Peach” mug and bought it for me 🥰 Fully embracing the peach aesthetic 🤣🍑 #lifesapeach #peachykeen #muglife

One of the things I've found so positive about the younger generation is their attitudes to gender and sexuality. It's seemed healthy and honestly inspiring. And a group of miserable busybodies has utterly demonised it. It's fucked.

Actual pro tip: the best way to break into any creative profession is by helping to support and advance other creators. Your peers are not your adversaries. They are your support group.
