DIY Confidence Workshops Part 1: Hand tools and Power Tools

26/08/2026

I’m absolutely blown away by the support from other female tradies who have found out from my socials about my upcoming DIY Confidence Workshops! 🥹❤️

Without me even asking or expecting anything, these incredible women have got in touch and generously donated materials from their own small businesses to help me make my workshops happen. How amazing is that?!

A huge thank you to Gemma for the decorating supplies from MyPaintbrush.co.uk and Cathy from for a variety of plastering and woodworking and decorating supplies which I will collect very soon!!

You are both incredibly generous, kind and thoughtful. 🫶🏼

And why did they do it?

Because, just like me, they believe in empowering women, encouraging more women to have a go at DIY and inspiring more women to get into the trades. 💪🏼🔨

This is what I LOVE about the female trades community. Women supporting women, sharing knowledge and helping each other grow. ❤️

Thank you so, so much. It genuinely means more than you know! 🥰
