Maternity News

If you’re a regular follower of mine on social media or at events you’ll have noticed that I’ve been very quiet online and in-person for many months. I can now reveal the reason - I am expecting a baby!

It’s been a long journey to reach this point. We’ve endured many obstacles along the way, which left me feeling emotionally and physically unable to attend very many markets in 2025 and 2026. I pulled out of countless events (including Art In The Park twice…I hope they’ll have me back one day!) to focus on rest. Finally this spring we found out that I was pregnant, and our baby girl is due any day now.

The time has come for me to take a step back from the business for a few months. I’m not pausing work completely, but I won’t be making anything or going to any events until at least March 2027. You can still order what’s in stock in the shop, but delivery times might be slow, at least until the end of 2026. I have spent the last few months re-stocking all the lovely galleries and shops that carry my work (no mean feat when you’re 8 months pregnant and too tired to even walk around Sainsbury’s!), so don’t forget about them. I also sell digital gift vouchers for your recipients to use at a later date.

I’m very aware from personal experience that seeing baby announcements can be triggering for many, so I apologise if you’ve been upset by this post. I promise that I won’t fill my update emails, social media and website with baby news, but I did just want to make this announcement to clear up why I’ve been so elusive over the past couple of years.

So it’s a sort of goodbye-for-now from me and I hope you all have a wonderful festive break.
