What a lovely surprise I had last Wednesday - @altrinchamhq tagged me in his People Making LinkedIn a Better Experience which I had no idea was going to happen!

Since then, he has shared other people that he feels make Linkedin a…https://t.co/wc7JG0c9jJ https://t.co/ZNJAZHzWtg

The last thing we did before we moved was finish painting the front door.

I actually started scraping it the first week of lockdown.

It was becoming my own personal Forth Bridge.

So with 36 hours to spare, we got the painting going and finished it, … https://t.co/F6vJ9ovcA3

So let’s talk about paths - specifically new paths.

I’ve had quite a few DM’s asking me if I am going to create another studio now that I’m here down in Oxford,and the answer is no.

The physical space in the house that we are buying isn’t the same as i… https://t.co/F6vJ9ovcA3

Well, we are officially southerners (this is a pic from this morning's walk).

If you want to follow me on this next adventure, it might be best if you follow me on Instagram as I tend to update that pretty regularly.

The account is … https://t.co/F6vJ9ovcA3

Okay- here’s a few things up for grabs: two different cutting matts 👇

They are used so have marks etc but they still have alot of life!

There are 2 of the grey one - this only has inch measurements on the front. So they are £5 each.

The green on… https://t.co/F6vJ9ovcA3

If you have been following us, either on Instagram or via our newsletter, you will know that the Studio isn't opening again.

We made the decision to close our doors because we are moving down to Oxford so that we can be closer to my husband's work and … https://t.co/F6vJ9ovcA3

[Maeri Howard @MakeandDoStudio]

And that’s a wrap folks.

Because we are packing up 13 years of memories.

And moving.

To Oxford.

No long and drawn out goodbyes, because I hate that.

And yes I’m sure it must come as a surprise to some of you, but if there’s one thing lockdown has shown us and that …

Two years since this photo was taken!!? We weren’t supposed to have such a long gap in between seeing each other again Michelle Andro.

But then breast cancer, Covid and all that....

If I had known, I would have hugged you a bit harder.

[Maeri Howard @MakeandDoStudio]

Because it always comes down to toilet paper...just saying.

Book challenge - Day One ( thanks Sophie Mathews... this is my kinda challenge!)

I have accepted a challenge to post 7 books that I love. One book per day and I’m not supposed to say anything else about the book other than to post the cover.

Hmmm... me, not say anything a…

Well, if you get an hour a day to go outside, you might as well make it count.

I’ve done my 5k today and I’ll happily donate £5 to the NHS on behalf of the amazing Captain Tom. So now I’ll tag 5 more people to do the same...Karen Reynolds Sophie Mathews Anne Whitehead Jan…

Okay, Walt Pevny, day number two. Now that I’ve come out in the open with Barry, my next album was one of Elton John’s less famous ones.

[Maeri Howard @MakeandDoStudio]

Thank you Walt Pevny for asking me to take part in this “posting ten album covers” thing. I can’t promise I’ll do it every day and I can’t promise I’ll even get to ten - but I’ll try!

Yes- this is my first album and isn’t it awful? I was 11 at the time and I bought it at t…

Actual size running watch.

Why do running watches have to be so ginormous?

They are way too big for my little, teeny, tiny lady wrist.

[Maeri Howard @MakeandDoStudio]

Okay - not exactly a marathon (P.S - I never, ever want to do a marathon...) but this weekend was my first time back running in a month.

Not going to break any land speed records but I am okay with that.

I had the BEST NEWS EVER yesterday - NO CHEMO FOR ME! 👍👏💪

I am normally a words girl to tell you how I feel. But tonight I’ll default to a photo I sent to Louis Eales and Sydney Eales when I came out of surgery and they were busting me about my post surgery outfit.
