Yes I know, today isn’t Friday. I could have waited to post this next Friday but it’s something I shared on Instagram the week before and have just now decided that I wanted to share it here as well, so just deal with me being a tad out of sync and give me a pass! I need to do a Wednesday Follow Friday because Friday is far too long away to share with you these Instagram accounts I’m loving right now.
I should say there are tonnes more that I like too, so I’m sorry if I stalk your page on a regular and I’ve not included you here! I might start doing these every now and then, in which case, watch this space as you might be in a future round up!
What's in this post
Kazvaremadeit
When a good friend of mine moved into a new house a few months ago, it took me all of two seconds to decide where I wanted to buy her house warming gift from. Yes, not only does Kazvaremadeit produce amazing illustrations with strong messages, she also sells a fabulous range of products too on her own website. Who doesn’t need a Tupac mug in their life?

Sharon is such a talented artist and I can’t wait to throw down some serious cash and invest in some of her pieces. I love her technique and subjects as well as the vivid colours in her artwork. This year, I’ve loved watching her following grow from strength to strength, as should be the case with such talent.
Thatsinglemum
Cathy is one of those women who writes with such forthrightness and honesty that you feel you’ve known her for years after following her for only a few days. I’ve loved watching her stories as well as her main feed as she speaks so openly about life as a single mum of two, tackling subjects such as divorce where others may see it as taboo. She’s also as fabulous in real life as she seems online, which is always great!
Thepigeonsnest
From her beautiful crocheted creations to her wealth of creative alter egos. There is so much to love about this account. Her stories show us a wonderfully honest and friendly slice of everyday life as a working mum of two and I particularly love her school run fashion stories (go look out for them!) as her choices always bring me joy!
You may not know this about me, but I love books! So does Paperbacksocial and her book choices are always on point. Some of my recent purchases have been inspired by what I’ve seen her share on her feed. I love well-read people, particularly ones who will read on a vast range of subjects. Before you pick out your next book, head over to her feed to make sure you pick a good one.
Motherscuffer
There is so much to love about Corinne. I can’t remember if it was her iconic photography or glimpses of her beautiful family that drew me in first. Perhaps it was the kindness and warmth from the writing accompanying her imagery? Motherscuffer is a multi-talented woman with many strings to her bow. Just take her amazing photography and hand-sewn clothing business as an example.
Tetyanawrites
Tetyana writes and creates visual stories with such poise and grace. I don’t think a day has gone by when her stories haven’t invoked something in me. Be it a call to action or me seeing something from a new light, I love how this woman thinks, feels and creates. Tetyana is a self-published author, having published MOTHEЯLAND earlier in 2020 after creating a Kickstarter which surpassed its original target in 24 hours. She is a joy to your social media feed.
Yes, I follow more people than this! But I wanted to share with you some of the amazing, talented, kind, thoughtful people who are bringing joy to my feed and thus, my life on a daily basis at the moment. It’s all too easy to talk about the hardships in life and I try to stay positive, whilst not ignoring them. These women are able to do the same, being frank and not afraid to talk of the everyday negatives or the monumental ones, yet somehow doing it in a way that leaves you wanting to fight for them or with them.
Have you followed any of the above Instagram accounts? Had you already followed them before this Follow Friday post? I’d love to know!
I’ve only heard of a couple of these Instagrammers but you’ve definitely given some great suggestions of who to follow next! Thanks
