Carrie Preston, a mother of two living in Cornwall makes a living painting pregnancy bumps.
A bump painting session takes about 2 hours to complete and the soon-mum-to-be can sit and relax while the cooling sponges and brush strokes create her chosen design. Babies sometimes kick a little during the painting session too. Carrie then takes photographs after so that the mums have a keepsake for their baby albums.
Carrie has painted over 130 bumps and doesn’t see it ending anytime soon. “I love my job, it allows me to be a mum as well as earn a living working from home. Pregnancy is one of the most special times in a couple’s life and I believe that if anything can be done to help cherish this then it should be done without questioning.” She says.
Her company “My Little Sweet- pea” started off with Murals for children’s rooms but has now expanded into many other areas.
