Several people (including my husband and a few friends!) have recently pointed out that perhaps I work a little too hard... Really? Never really thought of what I do as work! 😅

However, the last couple of weeks have been a bit more challenging than usual thanks to fibromyalgia and arthritis deciding they wanted some attention. I've been trying to push through as normal, but after making a few silly mistakes recently (all sorted now thankfully!), I've decided that perhaps they all have a point.

So next week I am going to take a few days off to rest and recharge.

I'll still be keeping an eye on messages and emails, but I may be a little slower than usual to reply and I won't be processing orders again until the following Monday.

Just to reassure anyone who is booked onto it, the Art of Nature Wellbeing Walk on Wednesday is still going ahead as planned of course, with the Yorkshire Button mindful activity.

I think it's time I listened to this nagging voice that keeps telling me:

"Put your feet up, have a cuppa, and stop trying to be Superfrog for a few days." 🐸💚

And for once, I think I'm going to listen.

Last week, we slowed down long enough to notice more, focus and reset. 🌿

I'm looking forward to discovering what tomorrow's Art of Nature Wellbeing Walk has in store for us. ✨

I’ll be facilitating the creative side of things, starting with Week1 - Paper Flowers made from recycled books, maps and paper scraps. 🌸

🧵 I’ll be in Bolsover this Saturday! 🧵

This Saturday 16th May, I’ll be joining Platform Thirty1 Creative Women's Network as part of Derbyshire Makes' Festival - Bolsover Day for a free drop-in introduction to heritage button making 😊

You’ll be able to have a go at making either a Yorkshire or a Deathead button

Both techniques are beginner-friendly, relaxing and surprisingly addictive once you get started!

And the best part? You won’t just make one button to take home, you’ll also receive simple tools and printed instructions so you can continue exploring the craft afterwards.

📍 Find me at gazebo pitch 30 on Castle Street in Bolsover, just past Castle Street Café and outside The Pump
🕙 10am–12pm
🎟 Free & drop-in (no booking required)

There are loads of other activities happening across Bolsover too, which promises for a great day out for the whole family!
