Hiya my lovely’s ♥️🥰🌈
Hope your all having a awesome start to the week 😆
Sharing with you all yesterday’s antics something I have been so desperate to do but unable too😆
Glazing all the goodies I made pre the nerve issues has been so much fun, can’t wait to see them finished 😍
Of course it would be rude to not also introduce the newist additions to the family hazel and Monty😆
These two have been the most welcomed distraction and sure are my lil calming rays of sunshine.
As someone with the inability to just chill out these two have sorted that out for me 😆 something I didn’t realise I need to do more as am quiet the workaholic 😍💕🌈♥️😆######
Anyway have an awesome day my beauty’s 🥰😆 looking forward be catching up on my admin today and replying to all you gorgeous people ######x

Good morning my lovely’s 🥰
Oh how I have absolutely missed you all 🥰
I can not express how good it feels to be actually able to write this after what has been the most physically and mentally draining time of my life.
Thank you to all who have messaged me via my social media’s and phone.
I am so sorry I haven’t got back to you all yet that will be my mission over the next week 🥰 I sure am greatful for what a wonderful collective of family and friends I have and feel very loved by you all🤗
Unfortunately at the end of January I had to go hospital with a suspected stroke.
On examination it went from stroke to suspected bilateral Carpal tunnel syndrome.
The hospital discharged me and told me to go to the doctors the next day to get mri scan.
At the doctors he also confirmed what they thought at the hospital that it was carpal tunnel’s and I was prescribed codine and seriod injections that I would have to book.
He also put me forward list for serval scans and surgery on both wrists.
This is where things just got so terrible, the codine make me spaced out and sick and didn’t do anything for the pain.
When trying to book the steroid injections I was told I need the next appointment would have been this past week 😔.
The appointments for scans months and surgeries end of this year 😞
I had bilateral paralysis in my arms and a pain full pins and needles sensation in my hands and fingers. Any contact on the ends of my fingers felt like I was pressing on glass shards.
Couldn’t hold anything as wrists would give out.
Couldn’t dress, feed myself, wash myself.
Most depressingly I couldn’t be me as art and creating is my life and like breathing for me.
And to top it off my passion is also my full time job and now my husbands too.
Thankfully he has been able to carry on with the packaging and answering Etsy but everything else was abandoned.
As I am all sure you can imagine I was a total mess. Extremely emotional, depressed and thought my life the life I love was over as I need to create.
On the plus side thanks to my dear husband not content with me being left this way he searched for alternatives and found me a chiropractor who I now refer to as my Earth angel.
After my consultation he got straight to work running his tests on me.
Dismissive right away it was definitely not Caplal tunnel as I had zero pain their and full movent with my fingers.
He thankfully knew what the problem was likely to be based on his tests and it was infact a compressed nerve in my neck/back that’s was causing this.
After weeks of many sessions with him and a whole lot of cracking and realigning here I am back to my former self but better as he is fixing the problem that caused this 🥰
To say I am grateful is an understatement 🥰 I am just so glad I saw him and didn’t undergo the unnecessary surgery’s that could have left me in some state.
So here I am back to myself and so excited to be back in my happy place with more ideas and enthusiasm than ever ######xx
Can’t wait to continue to share with you all my creative life ###xx😍🥰😍🥰
Thank you all again so much for continuing to support my little business ######xx
Have an amazing day my beauties 😍 sending much love and positivity to you all #########x

Merry Christmas to all you beautiful humans 😆🌈🎄
Thank you so much for all your much appreciated support to my little business this year and always. 🤗
The past few years have been an incredibly tough for us loosing my darling mother in law, just recently my beautiful auntie melly along with some very treasured friends.
We are all still very much waiting to wait up from this devastating/nightmare.
To anyone who has lost a loved one, you sure will relate to the feeling of struggling daily and today/tonight is very hard as the first year without our beautiful angel melly and second (but harder year for our Helen as kicks in no coming back)
It continues to be an incredibly emotional time as we have a very hard year ahead with other very special family members struggling massively with their health.
Just makes you appreciate massively how Christmas time is definitely about spending time with loved ones and embracing what’s so important 🤗😆FAMILY 🥰🤗###x sending so much love and hugs 🤗
EMBRACE the people you love, time is not promised ######
Sending so much love to you all and for anyone like us who will be having a very reflective time with many a happy tear I send you so many hugs ###xx wishing you all a merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year ###### ###x

Good afternoon my lovely’s 🫶🏻
Thank you so much for all the kind and caring and positive messages I have received following my previous post about the cruel comments I have received of late.
It really does knock the wind out of my sails when folks feel the need to be cruel as I am rather a sensitive soul so take things massively to heart.
Your kindness sure has put a huge smile on my face and given me confidence to continue sharing my work so thank you so much. I am so grateful 🙏 ###x

Hiya my lovely’s
Rare little appearance of me rather than just my super irritating voice and speedy videos 🥰(sorry to all who have commented/messaged to tell me I have made them feel sick with my videos 😔
I Genuinely get so nervous and excited creating them, I am aware I can be all over the place, I’m a one take maid so what you see is what you get mistakes and all.
Just sucks when there are so many negative comments on things I don’t personally get 🤷♀️
In a world so full of pants stuff right now it confuses me that folks can be so mean over a person sharing “happy stuff”
For those who can stomach my videos this is one of my most asked questions to date regarding enamels 🫶🏻so resharing as came up in my feed just now as I am about to catch up with my admin before a mamounth day of packaging tomorrow ###xx
Hope this helps 🫶🏻
As a self taught arty maid, I am no videographer 🤗just sharing my work with positivity and good vibes ###x
Sending huge smiles to you all ######x

Send a message to Cornish fused glass by Kirstyn smith:
Kirstyn was born in 1983 in Cornwall a county that is surrounded by rugged coastlines and picturesque fishing villages. Her love of the golden sands, rugged rocks and fishing boats have been an inspiration for much of her original artworks and more latterly her newly found love of glass fusing and mosaicing. She is also very inspired by the Gothic periods and the Steam-punk scene.
As a child, Kirstyn recalls being told original bedtimes stories by her mother about the ‘fairies at the bottom of the garden’ and her love of fairies is a continual source of inspiration for her unique designs. From as long as she can remember, Kirstyn has always loved art, at school her art work was commended for her attention to detail and originality, as a young child she won the Bodmin in Bloom painting competition. Kirstyn’s inspiration came from within and was nurtured when she spent time on family holidays in France and Scotland, painting alongside her mother Jayne.
Kirstyn has three young daughters and the experience of parenthood has provided her with her own opportunity to make the most of make believe and childhood dreams, this has brought a new dimension to her work and ignited a love for creating free-hand murals. Designs have included trains, cartoon characters, rockets, super-heroes, palm beaches and abstract floral. Her own girls have had many a wonderful bedroom inspired by childhood stories of fairies at the bottom of the garden.
Whilst being a full time mum, Kirstyn took the opportunity to study Interior Design with the National Design Academy. Throughout the course she developed her interest further falling in love with various period’s of elaborate styling particulary the Baroque, Rococo, and Victorian. However along with her love for vintage interior design, soft funishings and furniture she also loves the modern styles and was particualy inspired by the pop art movement and the Art Deco/Art Neauvou periods. It is her love for these periods and styling that are reflected in her love for restoring furniture today and adding a shabby chic feel to her run down finds of old furniture.
Kirstyn now works from her studio at home and supplies to local attractions like Pencarrow House, Museum of Witchcraft and Magic in Boscastle, Cornwalls Regimental Museum, Carnglaze Caverns & Bodmin Jail. Her work can also be brought from many outlet's such as Toe in the water Gallery in Fowey, "Things British" in London, Lilac & Lime in St Ives, The Shop On The Corner in Plymouth, Alisons in Wadebridge, Falmouth Art Gallery, "Joy" in Perranporth, The Old Tea Chest in Bodmin, Cornish Craft Collective in Par Market, and Make industries in Penzance. You can also purchace her wares or order a bespoke commission directly from her at her home or through her online Etsy shop, instagram,twitter and Face-book page, where you will find many great offers on her one off glass fused projects.
Kirstyn was selected by "House and Gardens Magazine" in 2018 to show her glassware in the Lifes little Luxuries campaign over the May/June/July issues.
Kirstyn has many items kept in stock ready to post out if you are looking for something for a last minute gift then look no further...
