Recently, the lovely @hollytucker sent me one of her huge #votewithyourmoney campaign coins! So today I just wanted to let you know what voting with your money means to me and my small business.
✨
When you spend with your precious coins with a small business either in reality or digitally you’re not just paying for a product. You get so much more than that.
you’re buying into someone’s imagination
you’re giving a little confidence boost on a cloudy day
you’re helping someone to pay their bills and work doing something they love
you’re helping to put food on the table
☁️ you’re enabling someone to continue following their dreams
you’re helping to give someone the freedom to be their own boss
☺️ but most of all you’re helping to spread joy!
✨
I’m now going to sign the back and pass it along to another brilliant small business and I can’t wait to see what they do with it! what does shopping small and voting with your money mean to you?
Christmas in July may be officially coming to a close, but I’m still busy working on the nativity set patterns! Mary is almost finished and my goal is to have the set sent out to testers by the end of this month! .
.
Meanwhile, you can find the patterns for the gingerbread twins and for the snowmen on my website! (Link in bio.)

Just about to head to the airport and I couldn't wait to see what I had brewing in my molds I made this set for my sister @meri.stanley as a surprise - they are her most loved colours. I don't think she's on Insta much so likely she won't see them in advance.
⠀
I'll be spending the next few days with 3 of my sisters and my cuz @sboone335 and of course spending time with my vibrant 92 year old mother. Life couldn't be finer. Any plans for your upcoming weekend.

I felt like using some of my pastel colours, so I made some colourful sea bunnies. I’d like to try making some of the more unusual nudibranchs some other time. There are so many weird and wonderful ones.
Also, I’ll be having a mini shop update on Sunday, June 30th at 1pm EST, which will include these guys, unicorns, a whale and a sea otter pair. It will be the last update for a while, cause I’ll be away for most of July.
