I've been super quiet on here, but to be honest I've been so busy recently and have been focusing way more on my Instagram than Facebook! But I will try and post a little more regularly as I know some of you aren't on Instagram so you won't know about new items and exciting times ahead.
I recently shared on my Insta that I will be building a studio in the garden and having my own office space that's all mine! It's a log cabin and has been ordered, the garden has been prepped... and it will give me a lot more space than I have now in my parents study. I can't wait to share it all when it's done!
I have also been listing lots of new products, including this gorgeous twinning set. I designed this for me and my little Lottie, but it's also available with mummy, daddy, uncle, grandma - whatever you'd like on there. Go check it out now :)

Happy 2nd Birthday to my little bestie - Auntie Grace loves you so so much <3

This week I'm ready for a crazy, busy one! If you follow me on Instagram you'll see I've been doing Joanne Hawker's #marchmeetthemaker challenge and for one of the prompts it asked us if our business is full time or part time work. For me the dream is for this to be a full time gig, but for now I work part time in a local Vets as a receptionist. I also have my niece Lottie on a Tuesday, so I have 3 full days for my business - although it's never restricted to this!
However, t...his week I'm working Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at the vets, I have Lottie on Tuesday and I'm off camping Friday night until Sunday! So it'll be late nights after work to get orders out, but that's what comes with owning your own business!

TUESDAY ADVENTURES | Last week I forgot to post my Tuesday adventures with this little munchkin as we were having too much fun! With such beautiful weather we took a trip to the beach with the dogs and as it was half term my mum and brother joined us.
Lottie loves the water, and had a few accidental swims, but she’s very adventurous so she took it all in her stride.
... Afterwards we had fish and chips, hot chocolate and cake - the perfect day 👌🏼

Over the weekend I had a lot of fun with my family and friends, but I did find a bit of time for some diy and my office finally feels finished!
I got these gorgeous wire words from Copper Blush and they finish the wall off perfectly.
This littler area is used for packing items, but it’s also designed to be my little photo studio for product imagery. Now it’s time to retake all my existing product photos and add some gorgeous new bits to my collection. Keep your eyes peeled 🌟

New weeks mean new motivation - time to get stuff done!
This week is half term so there are usually lots of distractions around as some of my family work in schools. Hearing everyone chatting and having cake breaks is very tempting, but I look at this print and remind myself I got this!
So far so good and here’s to a successful rest of my week. How’s your Monday been?

Ready for another week of productivity!
It can be hard working from home to keep yourself on track. There are constant distractions, but I do my best to focus on my work and get it done. Orders coming in each day mean I have to get work done, but I need that extra bit of girl power to get my new designs made, photographed and listed.
Watch this space as lots of new bits will be coming soon!

This year has been all about weddings! A new year clearly gets everyone organised.
How gorgeous are these bridesmaid and flower girl boxes. These are sent flat to save postage pennies for our customers and then all they have to do is peel off a couple of bits of and stick the box together - very easy to do and a super special way of asking your besties to be by your side.
These boxes come in two different sizes. This lady went for larger boxes for the bridesmaids and smalle...r boxes for the flower girls.
They are available to purchase on Etsy - https://www.etsy.com/…/bridesmaid-gift- box-bridesmaid-propo…

TUESDAY ADVENTURES |
Back today with my niece and this morning included walking the dogs and searching for the muddiest puddles! Luckily she didn’t fall over, although it was close 🙈
This monkey loves a bit of muddy water and so do the dogs. Once her suit was off she was perfectly clean, my golden retrievers on the other hand ...
... Have a wonderful Tuesday 💕

PACKING | a very important part of running your own handmade business. This is the first thing the customer sees when they open their parcel and we want it to look as pretty as possible!
Also how amazing would it be if we could work at this speed 🙏🏼
Back to the desk for a productive week of completing orders and designing new lovelies for the shop.

This Christmas was a massive step for our little business and things have really started to take off - which is both scary and exciting! I had thought January would be quiet and I’d have time to make some new products, but currently that’s not the case! Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining, BUT please can there be more hours in the day and maybe sleep could just be a luxury rather than being essential 🙏🏼

Today we’re throwing it back to this gorgeous baby grow made for a very lucky daddy’s birthday! This lovely lady contacted me the day after she gave birth (go mumma) and this was because her husbands birthday was exactly a week after the baby was born - so a very quick turnaround! But we did it and her husband loved it - such a sweet little gift! Will be available on our Etsy soon.

This weekend we’ve been busy updating our office space! As a small business owner it can sometimes be hard to find the space to create your handmade treasures, but I’m lucky enough to have a whole room to do so! This weekend it was time for an office refresh and more table space to help with making, packing and photographing orders - it’s safe to say I’m a little bit in love 💕
A few bits still need to be put up on the walls and the most BEAUTIFUL chair is on its way! You’ll have to wait to see it once it’s here, but it is 😍

We've been super quiet on here, but this year we plan to be a lot more present! January is always a tough month to get back into the swing of things, but this year we have lots of exciting new plans and ideas and a LOT to achieve. We've written out a new timetable for each week to keep on track and every morning we refer back to this quote - 'TODAY WILL BE AMAZING'!
What are your new year plans?
This gorgeous print was hand written on the iPad Pro with Apple Pencil and is available to purchase on our Etsy page - www.etsy.com/…/61627…/today-will-be-a mazing-print-home-decor
