@jollygoodriot I’ve been sending out these rainbow heart sets, with every penny of profit going towards handcreams and sanitisers for key workers. They’re £10 a set including postage, and every set generates 2 pots of hand cream blended with essential oils #heartsforhandcreams

She was freezing cold but insisted on heading outside at 8pm to join in with the clapping, then came in and sang happy birthday to @captaintommoore with a cake she’d baked for him herself. #5yearoldwiththebiggestheart #heroes #clapforourkeyworkers #CaptainTomMoore #birthday #nhs

I love making reusable face wipes/scrubbies. For a limited time I’m doing 10 of these for £10 including UK postage. Pop me a message if you’d like to order 🙂 #handmade #crochet #ecofriendly #reusable

@samanthaself I only feel like this 80% of the time these days. The other 20% I’m usually unconscious from the exhaustion of doubting myself 🙈 #needtohaveabitofselffaith #ownworstcritic #handcrafted #HandmadeHour #womaninbiz

A stint in urgent care with this little pickle meant we were up at silly o’clock this morning. Thankfully nothing to worry about, and the silver lining was these gorgeous pictures of my latest cardigan 😊 #crochet #handmade #cardigan #handcrafted #smallbusiness #morningsun
