A tattoo of the worm from Labyrinth. A blue worm with a red scarf who says “ello”

New tattoo day. ‘Ello!”

Nanny Ogg from Discworld.

A sheet of stickers with my business logo on them. I’ve got one of them stuck to my finger because I’m over the moon it worked. The first attempt didn’t!

Little bit over the moon with myself. Made myself some new stickers. I have always wanted to print and cut stuff but my Cricut Joy didn’t do it. I got a new Joy Xtra for my birthday and finally got round to wrestling with it today.

Et voila!

A peppa pig birthday cake with a 4 and a 1 candle on it.

Yesterday I turned 41. I was too busy eating cake to remember to post about it.

But it is what it is. I will also be eating cake today too and off to London for a little holiday tomorrow so it’s all going on!

What a gorgeous goose! (Not a sentence I thought I would be typing this morning but it’s true!) Very stylish goose.

Ah look at that little face!! 🥰

A small white and brown terrier sitting on his bum in the kitchen looking really, really hungry.

Bilbo would like to know if there are any snacks on the go…

Might do it in about a 100 years. 😂

Chris keeps showing me houses that have shops attached…😂😂😂 one day. 😃

Sheets of pink paper with a rectangle on each one. The printer isn’t accurate when printing out the size I want so trying different settings to get it right! Also two white pencils sharpened at both ends.

Working on a long overdue online shop restock. But don’t mind me while I print 503593943 rectangles to try to work out some printer settings!

Also my son has discovered a love of pencil sharpeners. So all my pencils now look like this…

Thank you so much for sharing them! You’re a sweetheart.

Two notebooks on a tablecloth. One book has spiderwebs and spiders and a black edging. The other is a custom notebook with a circular pattern. You can just see the roses from my mother in law and a Twin Peaks coaster I made about 7 years ago

If you’re looking for a hand made notebook, I can highly recommend the lovely @nobuttonsnotebooks.bsky.social 😍 Thank you for the awesome custom and the cute spider book!

A pile of bookmarks with my logo on and “handmade notebooks and sketchbooks” with a QR code.

The backside of the bookmarks. All different patterns. Monstera leaf and palm leaf papers

New business name means new business card bookmarks! Happy little half hour spend playing with the laminator. (We won’t mention the half hour shouting at the printer because it decided to be invisible!)

I dared to have the audacity to wash my dogs ears in the bath. Gently. He kept his head tilted for so long afterwards that I thought he was broken. Just dramatic. 🤣 Also Edgar is the best name for a dog!

I told you we’d be back

That’s relationship goals right there. 🥰

New tattoo day!

A dog under a blanket in front of a tv showing the FA Cup final!

Despite being adopted into a household of Everton supporters…the dog for some reason supports Crystal Palace. He’s too nervous to watch the FA Cup.

Finally!!! Celebrations all round. You are joining me, yes? I’ve got the Prosecco in the fridge for later.

Starting with a dance round the living room.

10 years. 10 bloody years. The all clear.

Only one word for it.

Whoop.

Edward keeps calling the roof of his mouth…the ceiling. And I went to correct him but his version makes so much more sense.

Ceilings are on the inside.

Nervous wreck this week waiting for annual mammogram results.

Treated myself to lunch at the pub.

Next table over are listing the people they knew who died of cancer.

I bought a book about growing mushrooms.

I’ve been saving coffee grinds so when I had enough I could grow mushrooms on them.

I now have enough coffee grinds. Went to get the book to work out what to order.

Can I find the book? Anywhere? No.

6 progress photos of turning an art workbook into a wirebound notebook. Took the cover off. Cut the spine off and bound it with my binding machine.

I was sat pondering this book I just bought and thought it would be better wirebound.

Then remembered who I am.

5 minutes later. Ta da.

Genius. If I do say so myself.

Bilbo is 6 today.

It’s also our 14th wedding anniversary but that’s less exciting!

You are cool and I will have no more said to the contrary. 🤣 cool. End of.

(If your face didn’t move when you drummed I would be worried about you. 🥰)

I need to see more of these videos so you keep posting them over here missus! Love it. You so cool!

Wooooooo! I will dance with you. That’s brilliant!

It was so good. I couldn’t decide which flavour to go for but definitely picked a good one!

Hold on…how are we supposed to eat digestives? Also that way is the only way to eat a custard cream. See also: bourbons.

Oh I need a biscuit now.

An ice cream cone with cherry ice cream.

This was ridiculously good.
