Mothers Day Ideas.

Everything seems to be happening early this year. Mother's Day is on Sunday 11th of March, so not long to get sorted. I have lots of ideas in my Etsy store that could make lovely little gifts and a great card that is a brand new design! I was inspired by the idea of the garden and flowers and how they are nurtured and looked after. The perfect sentiment for Mother's Day.

Continuing with the light, Spring like theme I love my new bird themed jewellery including pins, brooches and earrings from £8 plus p&p. Once again inspired by my garden. These are the birds I watch from my studio!                                                                                                                
Bullfinch brooch.

Lastly I have just added this (garden inspired again!) hedgehog pyrography plaque created from my own illustrations and illustrated using pyrography. If your Mum likes original, whimsical and unique this could hit the spot!

I have lots of other ideas in store that would make great gifts for nature lovers. These are just a flavour of whats available and a small part of what I do at Slumbermonkey Designs. Hope to see you there! As a reward anyone that clicks this link Slumbermonkey Designs and uses the code BLOGHELLO, will get 10% off their order.

Meet The Maker!

This month I have been taking part in a "Meet The Maker" challenge devised by the wonderful Joanne Hawker ( https://joannehawker.co.uk ). Every day throughout the month there is a prompt to follow. Inspired by that word you devise and then publish a post to Instagram. It has been a wonderful way to engage with the creative community and like minded individuals. I have tried to be individual in my approach and have hopefully put across my ideas and my passion for making. The video above shows me in time lapse (wish I was that fast!) hand colouring a piece of shrink plastic jewellery. Social media is such a huge part of building a business these days but this is such an enjoyable way to be involved. If you are on Instagram take a look at all the posts with the hashtag #MarchMeetTheMaker and see the diverse range of independent business taking part. My Instagram link is here if you would like to see more of my posts this month. See you there! https://www.instagram.com/slu

#smallandmightystories

After the success of March Meet The Maker I decided to try another monthly campaign. Quite luckily I found and signed up to #smallandmightystories straight away. This time it focusses on Instagram and using "your stories" to engage an audience. So far so good! However, a lot of the content is generated by me talking to camera. Now this is a scary concept if you hate having your photo taken but, in order to gain more confidence, I went for it. My first post can be viewed above! This also serves as a bit of an introduction for you too. Although I am now only six days in it has been fun trying to come up with ideas related to the prompts provided by @socialmouthsam ( https://www.socialmouth.co.uk ). Here's one that shows you where I work, my studio in my garden! If you want to take a look at my Instagram check it out here  Slumbermonkey Designs  and take a look at my stories, they only last 24 hours!
