Hi everyone, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and a very happy New Year. Sorry it’s been a while since I last put a post up. I’ve been struggling a lot with my health lately and just needed some time to rest.
Thank you to everybody who ordered from me last year. Your custom mean so much to me. However, I have come to realise that I can no longer do custom orders. I’m suffering a lot with the aftermath of having cancer, as well as pre-existing conditions that I had beforehand. I was thrilled at the amount of orders I had before Christmas, but the sheer amount that I had to get done filled me with so much dread and anxiety and it ended up being a really stressful time for me.
As well as still feeling very weak as a result of having cancer and trying my best to build my strength up, I now have a heart condition as a result of the extreme radiation that was fired directly into my heart. This is left me with a permanent rapid heart rate which leaves me unable to sleep, gives me breathing difficulties, chest pain, extreme fatigue, headaches and dizziness. The fatigue is so bad when my heart is racing that some days I can’t even get out of bed.
I still however find absolute joy in making things as and when I can. So it’s just a case of creating things when I feel well enough.
Although I will no longer be taking custom orders, or doing any personalisation, I am still going to be creating things that I will pop up on my page. So it would mean the world to me if you would continue to follow me to see my new creations.
Thank you for all your support and custom over the years. Rustic Rainbows is an absolute pleasure to have and I will do everything I can to keep it going.

Wishing you all a very happy and healthy 2023 🥰
