Clare you are so inspiring… often our dreams look wildly different to the path we started on and I’m so glad ours have crossed. Is it weird to say I feel so proud having connected on Instagram and watched the joy, supported your kick started and the colour get white out painted from the wall 😔 to reading this. ❤️ You have made amazing things happen and modelled so much for us all along the way! Congratulations on your new place! ✨✨

Claire, thank you so much for your kind words and for supporting me along this journey! 🥹 I don’t think it’s weird to say that at all, it means so much to me that you feel like that - it’s like you’ve been on the journey with me too and I’m so grateful 🥰 I’ve always tried to be honest about what’s happened along the way, and there have been some really amazing highs and some extreme lows, but I hope that by sharing all of it people will see that it’s not just them experiencing tough times too. It’s scary in many ways going for it again, but I don’t want to let the fear of failing stop me from trying 💖

Lockdown and the fall out afterwards killed my Etsy shop. I’m now letting the already paid for listings run out and then I will close it. I never earnt a living from it but made a couple of hundred a month, now I’m lucky if I sell one low priced item every 6 weeks. I am in awe of those who manage to make it in the crafty world.
