I've been creating Indie Maker & Shop Pinterest boards to shine a light on products and small business I love all for Christmas shopping in the UK 🎁🎄🎁. This first selection is all under £20. They're absolutely steals I think you'll agree. Check out my board here uk.pinterest.com/sophiekatecr...

A glorious collection of gifts under £20 all from independent makers and shops. From jewellery to candles, stationary to art

You know, I am actually trying to incorporate the phrase "feel yourself hugged in colour" into my branding. But you're right that's another possibility too. So many things in my mind to bring to life though I get carried away 😆. Thanks so much again 💖

Awww thank you ☺️. It's definitely no coincidence that I'm currently designing an art print that reads "Colour is my Happy Place" hehe 🌈

I also create quirky, uplifting art prints that are little celebrations of colour, inclusivity, love and acceptance. Themes that run through everything I make and throughout my life as a whole as well 🫶 #

I’m finally beginning to make myself at home here on Bluesky, so I thought I’d share some of my handmade creations.

I’m Sophie, I design and make jewellery and accessories from faux leather printed with my own colourful artwork, attached to eco ply painted a gorgeous metallic purple

The High St’s rolling out their generic Christmas gifts again 🎁. I know it’s easy to spend your hard-earned money there, but this year why not do things a bit differently. Shop Small, support real people, and boost the UK economy

To help you I've created these Pinterest boards full of indie finds

Screenshot of my Pinterest account featuring boards using my handmade creations, and things separated by colour as well as pattern. You'll find ceramics, knitted jumpers, bags and jewellery

AGEISM

Quote saying: I get tired of "under 40" lists.
Show me someone who got their PhD at 60 after losing everything.
Give me the 70-year-old debut novelist who writes from a lifetime of love and grief. Give me calloused hands and tender hearts.

No immigrant arriving on a boat, no trans adolescent embracing their true self, and no drag queen reading a story to a child is responsible for rising costs or societal woes.

The blame lies squarely with mega-corporations and their utter disregard for ordinary people.

I yearn for the day when humanity stops idolising and excusing the ultra-wealthy — figures like Trump and Musk.

I dream of a time when we refuse to be deceived into blaming our neighbours for the hardships we face.

As the clock counts down to the moment when the US officially welcomes back a man whose entire campaign is built on hate and division, I feel compelled to shout from the rooftops: I Choose Love! Today and Everyday

#ChooseLoveNotHate

It's another way they let us know they don't care about us, unless of course we're churning out rage bait reels every other day. It's so sad and even more work for us to do to create a specific Instagram product photo. Gee thanks for that! Good luck to you and to every other Creative out there 🫶

I recently obtained a vintage (some 50 years old) petrographic microscope. It needed some fixing (e.g. one of the polarizing filters had to be replaced). But it is working now, and looking at thin sections of meteorites under it is amazing

A star is born.
This is Herbig-Haro 211 (HH 211), a baby star beinf formed, spewing a bipolar jet travelling through interstellar space at supersonic speeds.
The star itself is at the center, hidden behind a dark cloud of dust.
🔭 🧪

At the centre is a thin horizontal multi-coloured cloud tilted from bottom left to top right. At its centre is a dark brown cloud from which both outflows are spewing from. These outflows transition from colours of yellow/orange, to a light blue region, with prominent light pink features in the outer regions.

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.

I've sold out of my Speech Bubble brooches that I had listed! So I thought I ought to put another one on my shop. But a different message this time "Day Dreamer"

This is Pickle, she may be approaching 15 years old and considered a Senior dog! But she wants to assure you she has no plans on acting her age anytime soon, and she strongly recommends you do the same 🫶

An experiment. Can you like this post if (and only if) you play and buy video games.

Some people over on Twitter/X seem to think it's only game developers here.
