Our first attempt at camping! All good at the moment but the weather warning is a bit concerning. I will reserve judgement until the morning 🤣

Some new pieces in my Etsy shop x

01/08/2026

Gradually sorting out my Etsy shop following Boundless Creativity. I’m so hopeless at coming up with systems that actually work, I always think I’ve cracked it but end up every time going through all the pieces I bring home after fairs and working out what’s missing to see what I’ve sold 🤦‍♀️ there really must be a better way 🤣 Anyway, these pieces are either on or will be soon ready to find new homes x

🎶🎵 Let's Get LOUD! 🎵🎶

It's all starting to come together!

I've been busy giving these old guitars a fresh coat of white paint today, finishing off the sign (which also doubles up as the guitar stand!), and getting this little corner of BOUNDLESS Creativity ready.

Not because white is exciting... but because it invites everything that comes next.

I don't want people to see a guitar and worry about spoiling it.

I want them to see a blank canvas.
I want them to see possibility. To pick up a brush without hesitation, add a splash of colour, write a message, make a mark, tell a story.

Creating isn't about keeping things perfect.

It's about taking part. It's about leaving a little piece of yourself behind.

By the end of the day, I hope these guitars aren't pristine anymore. I hope they're covered in colour, fingerprints, little doodles, scratches from being played and all the wonderful signs that they've been loved, explored and enjoyed.

Every mark will become part of their story.

And... if all goes to plan, I'm off to collect a donated upright piano later today too! 🎹 Wish me luck! 🍀
