How to feel happy

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

Courage is the key

by | posted in: Emstagram | 0

Courage has many different guises; it might mean standing up in a room full of people to talk, speaking out for something you believe in, or following your heart. It can be a large gesture or something seemingly small. It could mean getting out of bed in the morning.
If you’re facing a situation where you feel like you need a little bit more courage, this is the perfect reminder to pin on your coat. I’ve uploaded this and the believe key to my website. I also know that life can need many keys ( it’s been half term for my kids this week, and patience is the main one I have needed!) so do get in touch if you’d like a key with a different word.
Have a great weekend.
Emma x

Fly the flag for small business

by | posted in: Emstagram | 0

It’s reaching that time of year where we’re starting to think about Christmas – whether it’s frantically prepping for fairs, shop and online sales, starting to see flurries of orders coming in ?, or writing lists of things to gift. .
Whatever the reason, a shop small badge is the perfect addition to your cardie to wave the small (but mighty) flag for the small (but mighty) businesses. I have maker versions like this, which I splattered in paint or my regular blue, both of which are free motion embroidered with the teeny tiniest writing and available on my website. .
Fly the flag for small businesses ?

Happy dance

by | 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

Close thinking

by | posted in: Emstagram | 0

Need to do some Close Thinking? Perhaps you need a walk along Action Avenue, or a visit to Idea Street?
.

I’ve listed this little map over on my website (there’s a link in my bio) it’s the same map that is included in my Finding Inspiration picture, and based on a section of Gloucester Road in Bristol (but it’s probably a fairly accurate representation of what it looks like inside my head! ?) The perfect gift for the creative in your life (I wont mention the C word again quite yet) there is just this one available, so if you’d like it, don’t get distracted and turn down Blind alley!
.
Have a great Friday. Meet you in Time for a cuppa Crescent?

Playing with paint

by | posted in: Emstagram | 0

I had great fun splattering fabric paint ? over material, my workshop and all over myself yesterday (sadly it was only once I got home from the school run that I realised I had been sporting a yellow eyebrow ?) I wanted to make some maker badges that looked like they were cut from a painters apron – like a maker had made them ?. There are a few different wording options, which I’ve listed over on my website now.
Have a great day xxx

Makers banner

by | 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 ?
