If you’re looking to give to something where every penny goes straight to making a real difference - this is it.

My friend Jo (Henry’s amazing mum) is determined and big-hearted. Honestly, I don’t know where she finds the energy, she never stops, never gives up and always puts others first.

Right now, Jo is fundraising for something that could change Henry’s life: a specialised chair that will give him greater independence, comfort and freedom.

Please take a moment to read their story and if you can, consider donating. Every bit helps and goes directly to this important cause.

Thank you 💛

A sneak peek - It’s taken me ages to get to this point - iPad died which didn’t help! New x-ray on the way! With a little help from my friends who gave me ideas and different perspectives.
Colouring in is next 😁

Using my self-authored children’s poem, I gave AI a few prompts and some of my own illustrations. I genuinely laughed out loud at some of the results. A few prompts later… and my first merchandise, boxed and ready to go!

I’ve been trying to get this story published for forever. Husband keeps referencing The Beatles and JK Rowling along the lines of, don’t give up just yet.

Having contacted every publisher in England, I’m now considering self-publishing, inbetween renovating the house, taming the garden, working and looking after everybody. But hey, who doesn’t love a challenge?

Maybe I have too many projects on the go. But honestly, why listen to logic and reason when the dream is out there…

Any help, advice, guidance to make this little dream come true would mean the absolute world.

Plus I’m wondering if AI might take the jobs of struggling illustrators… but definitely not the place of poets - it really is terrible at that…

Completely boring to be mentioning it again but it warms my heart every single time.
They are a fabulous charity and if nothing else happens with my art work - well I’m not sure I could top helping children with their mental health. Give Little Troopers a follow if you haven’t already 🥰

I saw account through a mutual friend’s account and fell in love with her work. My husband bought me one of her paintings and my mum got it framed. It’s absolutely gorgeous and I am well aware the photo doesn’t do it justice. I can’t imagine what it would cost if it was hung in a gallery (well I can which is why I know I was very lucky). It has flecks of gold in it which makes it sparkle at different times in the day. I love it so much. is extremely talented- if you have the chance to buy an original piece - do it!!

Feels like a real privilege to be, just a small part of helping children with their emotions. There is an ‘X Ray of feelings’ illustrations in each of these gorgeous little boxes, given to military children over Christmas as their parents are deployed. Download the set for free x

I have so much to do, with 20 mins, vac, clean, tidy, fold the washing, sort the washing, clear up the breakfast stuff. Also me - now’s the perfect time to make something 🤣

Who doesn’t want drying flowers round their house constantly? My husband loves it and often comments about how wonderful it is to have bits of lavender everywhere.

Top tip, dried hydrangea flowers are SO beautiful but you have to pick them when they are at their prettiest.
