Fun fact about me… I don’t just create designs… sometimes I accidentally create or share entire stories with them too 😏 Not all of them. Just the ones that tap me on the shoulder like, “hey… we’re not finished yet.” “Velvet Ruin” did exactly that. Is my writing perfect? Nope. Does it hit something real? Yep. Did I resist the urge to rewrite it 47 times and just let it be what it is? Miraculously… yes, and that MATTERS! Here's her story: Velvet Ruin They called her broken long before she ever believed it. Not in loud ways. Not in words thrown like stones. But in glances that lingered too long… in silence that arrived too quickly after she spoke… in the way people stepped carefully around her, as if she might shatter simply by being seen. So she learned the art of becoming smaller. She softened her voice. Folded her wings inward. Wrapped herself in something dark and beautiful so no one would notice the cracks beneath. Velvet. It was easier that way… to be seen from a distance than understood up close. But ruin has a way of speaking. Not all at once. Not in chaos. But in quiet, persistent echoes that say: This is not who you are meant to be. And one day… she listened. Not to them. Not to the world that mistook her depth for damage. But to the low, steady rhythm inside her chest that had never once agreed with the story she'd been given. She stood. Not dramatically. Not loudly. But fully. And when she unfolded her wings, they were not delicate like they remembered. They were vast. Dark. Unapologetically her own. There was no moment of becoming whole again. No clean return to what she once was. Because she wasn't meant to be restored. She was meant to be rewritten. And in that rewriting, in every fracture, every shadow, every scar she refused to hide… She became something far more dangerous than perfect. She became real. Not velvet to be touched. But velvet that remembers what it survived. And ruin? Ruin was never her ending. It was the place she learned

Like… how did we go from a cozy giraffe in a beanie… to a bunny born from a cracked fairytale… to a farmhouse chicken living her soft life… to a lighthouse that feels like it’s holding secrets… to a bird that looks like it flew straight out of a watercolor daydream… Because creativity doesn’t follow rules. It follows curiosity… chaos… and those little sparks that say “This doesn’t make sense… but I LOVE it, and down the rabbit hole we go.” 🎨 This week’s downloads are your permission slip to: • mix styles that “shouldn’t” go together • create something just because it feels good • stop overthinking and start making So tell me… 👉 Which one are you grabbing first? 👉 And what are you turning it into? Because around here… We’re not here to make sense. We’re here to create magic. ✨ You can download them all HERE!

I can’t draw, paint pretty but I know what I like. So, this is how I while away some free time to chill. So these are some ideas I’ve had. I want to make a feature of my 5th wall, but I don’t necessarily have the time to paper them all. My idea, is create a frame and paper inside of it where the light fitting is. Chandeliers are not optional but essential! Pick a colour from the paper, must be dark obviously and colour drench the room with its own theme. Only problem is my lack of wording requests to get the correct results. It’s a journey lol

If you haven’t already guessed, my bedroom is all my craft room for the smaller pieces I can man handle myself. Soooo many pieces waiting to be next stepped, like the drawers, the wardrobe, the China display cabinet. I’ll get to it. Today, I did this. The end lol
