Welcome to
**❤️ This Life I Made ❤️**

A gentle membership for people who crave slow living and creative joy

A cosy, creative corner for women 50+ (and anyone who feels drawn to this season of life).

Over the last few years I’ve been shaping a slower, simpler, more creative life - making, growing, thrifting, painting, sewing, cooking, writing, and creating little digital products to quietly fund it all. It’s not about doing everything.

It’s about doing more of what matters, and less of what doesn’t.

Welcome to my six-acre world of fruit trees, rescue hens, greenhouse mornings, and cosy craft nights.

This isn’t a course. It’s not a programme. It’s a community - a calm, friendly space for women who want to share the life they’re making, one small step at a time.

Now I’d love to invite you to join me - and others who feel the same - inside This Life I Made, a friendly Facebook community for women who are ready to make life gentler, simpler, and more creative.

What You'll Find Inside

❤️ A Warm, Private Space

Our members-only Facebook group is calm, kind, and welcoming. It's just women sharing small joys, projects, and stories.

❤️ Real Conversations, Real Connection

There’s no programme, schedule, or pressure to post. Just drop in when you like to share what you’re making, growing, cooking, or reading - or simply enjoy the inspiration from others.

❤️ Little Glimpses of My World

I’ll share snippets from life here at our old mill - the garden, the rescue hens, the crafts, and the quiet moments that make this life feel special. I want you to share yours too.

❤️ Encouragement & Inspiration

You’ll find a group of women who get it - who understand what it’s like to crave more space, slower days, and time for creativity again.

It’s a place where you can say,
“I finished my first painting!” or “Look at these tomatoes!”
and everyone will cheer you on.

Why I Created This

Hi, I'm Claire, I'm 55 and I live with my family (lovely husband, gorgeous teenage daughter, little dog Meggie and a variety of rescue hens and sheep) in my old mill in beautiful North Yorkshire with 6 acres of land, a millstream and mill pond, trees, kingfishers, otters, a greenhouse, raised beds, an orchard and more.

In my main business I'm a digital product- and small business marketing coach, which I love. But a couple of years ago I burned out and it hit me really hard. As part of my healing, I decided I had to slow down and make more space for the things that light me up.

More making, more cooking and baking, more growing, more experimenting, more learning for the fun of it, chickens, greenhouse, thrifting, foraging, willow weaving, pottery, spoon carving, arty stuff and anything else that tickles my fancy.

And I wanted to share that journey with other women who felt the same. I don’t want to be 30 again. I lived, learned, and carried everyone else’s load. I think you feel the same. Now it's our time.
