Be prepared for a bit of honest waffling… 🫠
I almost didn’t share a post wrapping up 2025. It felt like I’d slowed down when I was finally finding my rhythm, and for a while I genuinely believed I hadn’t achieved very much at all.
The truth is, I’m heavily pregnant - and my brain hasn’t always been very kind to me. Perinatal mental health is no joke 😅
But when I stop and really look back, this year has actually been about pushing myself outside of my comfort zone, trying new things, and having moments where I felt exactly where I was meant to be. I’m so grateful for every opportunity I’ve had to grow this little hobby and practise my craft. It might not look like much from the outside, but Made by Bumbles has carried me through more than I can explain - I know this year would have felt a lot heavier without it 🥰
I remember listening to this song when I was pregnant with my first, really hearing it for the first time. The sun was shining through the car window, I’d just started driving, and I felt completely blissful growing my small person. Not long after, I fell into the depths of PND. Those glimmers of joy came and went over the years - and finding my way back to creativity through this project has brought so much of that light back 🎨✨
This page will be a little quieter for a while as I focus on welcoming and raising our newest addition, but I’m still here! I’ve created a small space at home just for me - somewhere to escape, create, and hopefully keep a little piece of myself intact during this season. Fingers crossed it helps 😂🫠
I don’t know what 2026 will bring, but I’m wishing you all love, light, and a little bit of magic ✨🪩
