More than just crafts

Welcome to a glimpse into the other aspects of my life that bring me joy and connection. While not all of these are creative projects, they are a big part of who I am and what I do.

Lending a hand at the community farm

Beyond the intricate world of diamond art and Lego, I find immense happiness in being involved with taking care of animals. Animals can help us produce Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin and Endorphins, all of which are happy brain chemicals. They help us feel calmer and teach us calming techniques. We also help them to feel calmer.

Connecting with a social group in Edinburgh

When I'm not immersed in my projects or at the farm, you can find me with a fantastic social group in Edinburgh with ages ranging between 11/12- 17 years old once a month. It's a wonderful opportunity to meet new people, share experiences, and enjoy the vibrant culture of our capital city. These moments of connection and shared laughter are just as important to me as any creative endeavour. It's about building community and experiencing life to the fullest. 

We do activities from making bracelets, decorating biscuits to even making pizzas.

Reading

I also love to sit down and curl up with a cosy book and a candle, with a fluffy blanket. I will also do Book Reviews on here as well.

A well-rounded life

These activities, though different from my artistic pursuits, offer a glimpse into the broader picture of who I am. I hope they leave you with a sense of wonder and appreciation for the diverse ways we can engage with the world around us. There's no need to compare; simply enjoy the journey.
