SOooooooooo… my first home school learning pack for EARLY YEARS aged children is finished and ready go to Alfie (Reception school age) and Evelyn (preschool age) to try out for me! It has been exciting to make the first one so now I know how long they take to create and make, how much paper I use, how many laminating pouches, and knowing I need a few extra bits like paper clips (I ended up using hair clips!), velcro strips and pipe cleaners.

Each pack will come with a reading buddy too…

I have spent my evenings making a start on some angels, I am excited to see how they turn out. It always surprises me how different they all are, and no matter how hard I try, I cannot recreate the same one twice!

I mentioned before about how I did a painting for a friend. It was a quote and image she had found and resonated with her, and she asked if I could paint it. I thoroughly enjoyed making it for her. If any of you have any favourite quotes and would like me to draw/paint them, send me an email at gemmazingartcraftspets@gmail.com or text/ WhatsApp/ Facebook message me with your request!


For those of you who know me, you’ll know I love a good quote. During the past year, since finding out I have cancer and undergoing all sorts of treatments, I spent my time making my own children (Rosie and Finley), a special book with lots of quotes and my own life advice, plus lots of photos! I loved making it. If there are any quotes you love and you want me to make a print for your child’s bedroom let me know! You could sign the back with a special message of your own. £5 per painting. 


I have a hospital appointment tomorrow so I won't be updating my blog until Friday. 

Until then, have a great few days,

Chat soon, Gemma x

  Everything I do is for these two! All of this blog, and trying to make a little money, is all for these two gorgeous babies of mine. I want to give them the world. I love them so much it makes my heart ache. So proud of them every day for how well they are coping with everything going on in the world with COVID as well as everything going on in their own little lives with me having cancer. Amazing, resilient and kind children I have... LOVE THEM SO MUCH.  Thank you so much for all the orders I received yesterday! I am SO SO excited to get felting, making my learning packs and drawing some aprons! It will be the most fantastic distraction this week, as I really do enjoy doing my art.  As so many of you beautiful friends and family have put orders in, I am going to now halt any more orders until after my operation so that I can really enjoy making these last few this week. I will let you all know when I am back home and made a good enough recovery to continue with my blog. And maybe a

Hello everyone,  So what a lovely, busy week. I have very much enjoyed starting on some felting orders. I have made two beautiful angels and some guinea-pigs. I am starting on another angel holding a star this time! I've never done a star so looking forward to trying that out! I have also had an order for an apron and can't wait to start on the design... Thank you again for your orders! Rosie, Finley and I are currently doing our first fundraiser for one of our chosen charities, The Willow Foundation. We are walking 50km in January as a team! Also we have baked 50 cakes for our neighbours and our friends...
