Start

posted in: Emstagram 0

You don’t have to be ready, you just have to start. My motivation this Monday comes to you in the form of a notepad I made for myself. Because I don’t know about you, but I’m often brimming with ideas, but I also often wait for everything to be ‘perfect’ before getting started, or showing you what I’m doing, or finishing things off. I don’t know when this elusive perfect moment is likely to happen … never most likely … so, i made a notebook giving myself a little reminder (/kick up the arse) to just get on with it. What do you do when this happens? If you have a better plan than making yourself a notepad with a flag in it -which is surely just a pretty form of procrastination after all – I’d love to know!
.
Happy Monday everyone xx

Believe in yourself

posted in: Emstagram 0

Did you know that the chance of you existing is pretty well non existent? The probability is 1 in 10 to the power of 2,695,000 (yes that’s right, a ten followed by 2,695,000 zeros) which means, by default, you really are pretty amazing. Now that we have established just how brilliant you are, I don’t think there’s much point in doubting yourself is there?
.
I spent all day yesterday making flags, and this is my new favourite! The listings will be live later today, but just drop me a message if you’d like one x

How to feel happy…

Words of advice from a seven year old this morning – I think she’s got it sussed!
.
It’s not just my writing that lives on notepad pictures, they’re the perfect way to capture the writing ✍️of loved ones young and old. .
Have a happy Monday xx

Happy dance

posted in: Emstagram 0

It’s been a while since I’ve shared a work in progress shot, so I thought I’d show you a little snippet of a new note picture that I’ve been working on. This one is called The amazing journey of an order. I decided to make it after all of the lovely comments and photo shares I get for my Thank you slip that I put in with my own orders
.
I obviously couldn’t leave out that happy dance feeling, and because it really does make me feel very happy getting an order I added a sparkly disco ball! .
Wishing you a Wednesday filled with disco ball moments!! Emma xx

Makers banner

posted in: Emstagram 0

I’m so pleased that my makers banners are getting lots of love, because I really love them too! My main criteria for printing on to fabric was that I really wanted the option of being able to personalise/embellish the final piece, and I’m just loving all the words of wisdom that you’re asking me to sew!
.
There is still another week until half term here, but I’ve already got my next design planned out, so that I can grab any quiet moments to bring it to life ?

It’s the weekend, time to sparkle and shine

Apparently cleaning is where it’s at these days, so I‘ve ventured to the next aisle in the supermarket – the packaging is fab there!
.
Have a great weekend xxx

You got this

posted in: Emstagram 0

Nobody told this daisy that it got things wrong, that really a lawn was where it ought to be, for daisies don’t grow on walls… if they had, it’d have taken no notice and carried on looking bright and cheery there anyway. It just found it’s spot and did it’s own thing. And that’s what you should do too.
You’ve got this xxx

You are awesome

posted in: Emstagram 0

Thanks for all of the amazing messages and comments yesterday – I’m sending you all a medal for being awesome ??
.
My son Oscar was quite taken by the brave medal from my greatest showman set, and asked for one that said awesome with a star on it … he very rarely asks for anything (other than money for computer games?) and I’m pretty sure that he wasn’t actually expecting me to make it, as it’s now taken pride of place buried under a pile of stuff on his desk (I think perhaps it needs an extra stripe that reads messy ?) .
if you’re interested in your own bespoke badge, just drop me a line. Have a great Wednesday xx . . .
