How do we heal a broken heart? I've asked myself this question so many times since losing my mum last Christmas to cancer. How do you make yourself feel better when your world caves in a bit. I chose to honor my mums bravery and independent spirit by doing what she would be proud of. So I try extra hard to be patient and loving to my own children and I work my ass off even more to make something of myself and I book holidays and trips and festivals because life is fucking fleeting and I don't intend to waste a moment of it. Today would have been her 63rd birthday and for the next 12 months I will be running a silent auction for these original zodiac illustrations made with @lollipopdesigns ... send me a DM with your bid and the highest gets the ⚡️SIGNED HAND-DRAWN ORIGINAL⚡️with 100% of proceeds going towards @cancerresearchuk ... If you miss out on the star sign of your choice you can always purchase a copy from @lollipopdesigns when they launch later on in the year and a percentage of sales will also go to Cancer Research. Bids start at £1 but please be generous ❤️I'm starting off with #virgo pictured here after main pic and will launch a new auction with each new month. GOOD LUCK, AND BID BID BID!!!!

I am so excited to share my upcoming collaboration with design geniuses @lollipopdesigns THIS IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE ZODIAC CALENDAR 🌌🔮⚡️Each star sign will be sold individually as part of a really cool concept from Lollipop Designs as something beautiful to gift yourself or your cosmic loved ones. #aries #zodiac #fashionillustration #ldw #londondesignweek #londondesignweek2017 #sophieward #whatsyourstarsign

Countdown till T time 🖍 #LFW

Yesterday I asked Beau if she wanted beans on toast for dinner, she replied 'let me just ask my nipples' and then proceeded to have a conversation with them. It's moments like those that make me laugh for days after. I love ya kiddo! Happy 5th birthday weirdo.

What's that analogy about being a graceful swan up top but paddling like mad underneath...? That's how I feel at the moment. But without the graceful swan bit. BASICALLY I'm working to max capacity right now on loads of exciting projects that I can't show anyone - but here's a glimpse at this mornings efforts and looking forward to sharing more over the upcoming months. Add in a kid starting school and squeeze in a 5th birthday party and you've got one stressed lady. Pass the gin.

Last ones, cause I know these are mega dullsville for everyone but there's too many of my moody bum, face painter extraordinaire and dance-off champ not to share. She's already asking when we can go back...

Sunday's yurt bath time with a difference.

This one was an absolute ST⭐️R this weekend. He also very much appreciated all the boobs wobbling about (@emmablackbird throwing some shapes in the background )
