I’ve been a glass artist for many years creating my own ranges of vibrant hand-painted glass gifts for shops & the public.

I’m also starting a travel guide here as I deliver my glass to beautiful locations 🚘🏰🏔️

🧡🍃🦄 ☕️ It was so lovely to be back at Maggie's Lanarkshire today to have our collective donation recognised with a giant cheque photo presentation. 🙏🤗 Thank you so much once again to all my followers who helped this amazing cancer support charity by buying tickets for my Glass Raffle or donating through my Kelpies Challenge fundraising page. 🧡🥰🙌. You are all amazing!
I chatted with the lovely Kerry-Anne who is a fundraising coordinator (holding the blank cheque beforehand ) at the centre and asked her what our donation could actually pay for. “Great Question” she smiled and chatted away enthusiastically…“Well it could buy 10 people a six week stress management course or a 10 person benefits advisor course to help them with their financial worries and also lots and lots of cups of tea & coffee, to name just a few options.” ☕️😍.
They were all so thankful, it makes you feel emotional and grateful to be healthy. I would love to do more in the future to help if I can. 💙🦄 I donated a Kelpies Vase to go in their next auction, which is a little bit more help. 🍃💧The indoor garden looked a beautiful picture with the light rain falling on the greenery in the middle of the centre, bringing Maggie’s vision to life. 🧡❤️

🧙💜🎶 Hi my lovelies, do you remember I stayed in the witches tiny hovel a couple of weeks ago in an air b&b in York? See a few posts before if you haven’t. WELL when I was there I recorded another one of my ‘Piano Through Glass’ songs called ‘White Witch’. I wrote this music and lyrics (below) many years ago and will be recording my work properly in the studio when I go to college in August to study Sound Production HNC for my dual career alongside my glass business. There’s a few pieces of my glass in the video, especially on the spoon in the cauldron. Please get used to me posting my music ideas and little scenarios 💜😃. It’s all part of my creative make up. So here is the acoustic video which eventually will become a full rock version with a singer and band accompanying me. Enjoy the White Witch who creates good spells for those who deserve it. Lyrics below 💕🍀☺️Thank you for supporting my creative journey my lovelies ❤️🎶☺️

‘White Witch’
Lyrics & Music
©️JChildsMusic2026

Making magic potions
Stirring up the cauldron
Putting in the sugar and spice
To taste there is a price
You make your soul payable
To the White Witch

White Witch (repeat x4)

Frogs and snails
And puppy dogs tails
Sugar and spice
And all things nice
Hocus Pocus
You’re under my spell
Under my veil

Firestone and gold dust
A magic wand before us
P***y cats and eyes of green
Treasure like you never seen
So you make your bed and lie on it
With the White Witch

White Witch (repeat x4)

❤️🦄 🧡 Straight from the horses mouth! What an incredible experience I’ve just had this afternoon completing my Maggie's Lanarkshire Charity Challenge by climbing and abseiling down through one of the amazing Kelpie sculptures at Helix Park. 😅I kept my cool even though I was scared, it was high! 🙌🤩 I met some amazing people, Alana a lady skydiver, Tony an offshore oil rig worker from Shetland and Neil Clark from Falkirk Piping & Glenbervie Folk an amazing piper who played the bagpipes from the very top - in the horses mouth, it really was quite an emotional moment 😍👏. The trained staff were impeccable with their instructions. Now that’s one of those memories I will treasure 🥰🙏. Thank you so much again to you all who helped to raise the £362 from the glass raffle and other donations towards this worthy cause. Mission accomplished! 🤩🍀🙌💕👏🧡

🔔 I have been designing today for the magnificent York Minster which I visited on my way home earlier this week. What an astonishing feat of human creation this beautiful cathedral is! It’s beyond belief how this was built so many centuries ago (like a lot of these iconic places) without the machinery & technology we have today. I was in total awe of its magnitude! I did the tower tour of 275 steps which was 197 feet/60 meters tall to get in practice for my Kelpies climb on Saturday 😅. I was fine! I feel I’m conquering my fear of heights at last! 😃🙏. Anyway, my designs although look simple incorporate a lot of the little details from the photos here. I spoke to the retail staff (as I did at Whitby Abbey) and showed them my glass samples which they loved 🥰. I told them I would create some bespoke designs and email the photos & prices to the retail manager. Let’s hope they order them for the York Minster shop 🙏❤️. Today I’m also working on the Helix Park visitor centre order, so I think my master plan is working to cut out the trade shows and gain more exclusive customers by cold calling although it’s nerve wracking 🙌🤩. Also a big thank you to my son Joe Cole for delivering several raffle prizes in Orkney today - he’s a good lad 🥰. Enjoy the photos my lovelies, I could’ve added more but had to stop myself 😂😂❤️😘

🧛‍♀️🩸Oooh I love getting ‘in character’ & I could certainly do this at Dracula’s Whitby Abbey yesterday on my way back to Scotland. I took some gorgeous product shots of my glass in this iconic location and fabulous weather ☀️. The retail staff loved my glass and said it would fit in perfectly in their English Heritage shop, so I now have the retail manager’s contact details and hopefully I can be a new stockist ….a great excuse to go back! 🖤🧛‍♀️❤️

☀️🥗🐾☕️I’m very proud of my daughter Amy Star Bailey who officially opened Dotty's Bistro today in the beautiful Norfolk Broads village of Ludham. This beautiful bistro is a dog friendly place serving high quality freshly cooked food, amazing coffee & cakes in a fabulous setting. An idea inspired by Amy because of her lovely gentle sausage dog, Dotty 🐾🥰. The day was a huge success with queues out the door on this sunny bank holiday Monday. Very well done to Amy and her team who absolutely smashed it! 🙌 Here are some highlights of the day and village of Ludham which is well worth a visit if you’re in the area. Manor Lodge caravan site is close by where I stay and store my caravan, check them out to book . Womack Staithe is the broads mooring pontoon in the same village. So it’s a great location for a holiday. St Catherine’s church is just down the road from Dotty’s Bistro too. ❤️🐾

💕🐾😃One of those epic days ! Dotty the dog , Amy & Ozzy & a fit builder holding my glass - what more could I want 😅😂🙌💕❤️
