Art & craft journal
Drawings, colouring, paper crafts and handmade cards — the making I love most, collected in one place.
Mary's sketchbook · since age 13
A place for the things I make, write & dream up.
This is my creative shelf — drawings, stories, crafts and projects I've finished and I'm proud of. Behind it, a private studio quietly helps me plan revision, sharpen a draft, and practise speaking out loud.

The shelf
Things I've made
A shelf of finished work I'm proud of. No timetables, no address — just the projects.
Stories & writing
Short stories and creative writing in my own voice. Reading and writing are my strong subjects, so this shelf gets full.
This year's projects
Small creative challenges I set myself and grow into finished pieces I can actually show.
Channels
I make videos too
Two channels — one for dragons and drawing, one for everything else. The videos live on YouTube; this is just where to find them.

Private · just for me
Mary's Studio
My private tools live behind my own sign-in. They coach, ask better questions, and help me shape my work — they never write it for me.
Open my studioDraft sharpener
Reads my writing, asks great questions, and helps me find the exact word — without ever writing it for me.
Revision builder
Turns my notes into flashcards and quizzes, and a calm weekly study rhythm.
Speaking coach
Private practice for presentations and reading aloud, with kind, specific feedback.
