  • 💌 UPDATE 💌 I’ve had a couple of messages to ask if I’m still open and to just generally check in. Thanks for this. 💕 I am really lucky that I work from home so will be continuing to keep my little business running for as long as possible with all orders I currently have on going out as planned. If you’d like to send a picture to someone to cheer them up at this tricky time please do drop me a line; I’d love to hear from you. And thank-you to everyone who is continuing to support my business at this challenging time. Hoping I can continue to spread a little bit of happy to people’s homes. Stay Safe xx #greetingsfromsarah
  • 💕 MUMS 💕 Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful Mums of the world. Xx
  • 👰 DAY 14 - CURRENT PROJECT 👰 Like many folk due to the current situation there have been a few cancelled plans over the coming weeks. I am trying to stay positive (not the easiest… it’s all a bit scary) and use this as an opportunity to work on some projects I’ve been meaning to for a while, one of which, is looking at my wedding stationery collection. Here’s a Beachy themed Concertina style Invitation that I worked on at the beginning of this year. I had good fun painting the seashells and the camper van, swipe to see close up of original artwork. ➡️ #marchmeetthemaker #day14 #currentproject • • • #weddingstationery #weddingconertinainvite #weddinginvitation #savethedate #bespokeweddingstationery #illustratedstationery #weddingportrait #weddingcaricature #newweddinginvitation #illustration #supportsmallbusiness #wearenoths #NOTHSpartner #soletrader #freelancelife #greetingsfromsarah
  • ✨DAY 13 - USP ✨ I think my unique selling point is the way I approach designing portraits. Rather than a standard standing or seating position I like to explore different ways people interact with each other from Piggybacks to cuddled up in a heart shape. Here is my latest portrait design: 'PILE ON!’ Portrait now available to buy on my site (link in bio). • Were 'Pile Ons' a thing from your childhood? I remember them from when I used to play football and was absolutely terrified of them. Luckily I was quite nippy back then so mostly managed to avoid being sat on. 😳 #marchmeetthemaker #day13 #USP #greetingsfromsarah • • • • #new #fathersdayportrait #fathersdaygift #rugbyfangift #rugbyfandad #customportrait #familyportrait #pileon #supportsmallbusiness #wearenoths #NOTHSpartner #illustrator #soletrader #smallbusiness #illustration #drawing #painting #nurseryart #newdadgift #personalisedgift
  • 💌 SENDING LOVE 💌 I’m a bit behind with #marchmeetthemaker whilst I’ve been finishing painting some lovely Mother’s Day artworks. I will be picking up where I left off tomorrow but just wanted to pop on here and send you lots of good healthy wishes at this unsettling time. Xx
  • 🍝 DAY 12 - LEARNING CURVE 🍝 Oosh there’s been a fair few learning curves in this business game. Here’s 5 lessons learnt... 1. Don’t leave artworks by an open window. English weather is changeable and the rainy splatty look is not one I’m aiming for.🌧 2. Don’t eat spaghetti whilst painting. Some things can be fixed when working on an artwork. Spaghetti sauce is not one of them. 🍝 3. Send artworks by recorded post. Even though it’s a wee bit pricey it’s disappointing when you’ve spent time on a piece and you don’t know where its pottering about.💌 4. Learn to say ‘no’ to projects when you have a lot on even when someone sends you the cutest picture of their dog and you really want to draw him... Be strong! 🐶 5. Keep a little space for all of the above. I’ve always tended to fill my diary so much that there are no allowances for the unexpected big and small. This year I’m trying to keep half a day/day spare each week in case something comes up and if it doesn’t I can take on that cute dog illustration, Yeay! 🤗 #alwayslearning #greetingsfromsarah #day12 #marchmeetthemaker #learningcurve
  • 🦆 DAY 11 - RANGE 🦆 Here is a range of Stokie themed greetings cards I offer. I’ve been pretty useless at sharing these and so and am always surprised and delighted that they still sell nicely in the background. When I started out I had big ambitions to create a card and gift line that celebrated different locations in the UK. With my business taking a different direction after the popularity of my portraits this little dream got set to one side but I do still hope to revisit it and currently have a small selection of Christmas cards for Newcastle, Wales, Bristol and one for Swindon. Is there anywhere you’d like to see me design cards for next? 🤔 • • #marchmeetthemaker #day11 #greetingsfromsarah
  • 💻 DAY 10 - AUTHENTIC SPACE 💻 This is my little workspace; the photo captured a rare sunny moment which didn’t seem especially authentic so I added some rain. I work from home and my office overlooks the tree in the garden where you see lots of squirrels and birds and it looks especially pretty when it blossoms 😍🌸 My favourite object is my personalised paperweight of my gorgeous niece and nephew.
