Obligatory gym accountability post 📸

Opening my shop cabinet means I’ve had neither the money, energy or time to keep up with my usual fitness routines, so it’s time to adapt 😂 No point waiting til new year~

It’s not as fun, but the gym is a lot cheaper than bouldering 😅 so for now, it’ll do!

Life update: currently on my way to a meeting at a local makers’ market to hopefully secure a permanent spot to sell my artwork

FYI I’ve never done this in my life. I’ve always been too nervous to make my own stickers and prints etc. and I’ve finally been brave and started and omg there’s interest😭

Experimenting with different ways of presenting my art and sharing my process - and I had a lot of fun chatting about my latest work in progress 💨✨

It’s pretty surface level so it would fit in a TikTok but I’d love to share more details 😫
