Too pretty not to share. I hear it’s been a hot one in Queensland, so sleeping under the stars in the night breeze would be pretty nice. Especially in this setup. Or simply laying around on our futon would be just as cosy.
Me on the other hand are staying rugged up here in Canada.

Stay cool and have an awesome week.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to all my lovely supporters and mummas that purchased custom orders this year. I appreciate each and every one of you.
I will be putting a hold on my sewing/ business for the next 12 months to focus on our much anticipated Canadian adventure.
Have a safe, festive silly season and I look forward to reconnecting with you in 2024.

School holidays 🤍
Here’s to letting go a little, relaxing a lot and embracing the chaos.
I was so excited to finish my latest futon I forgot to get a picture of it before I was sent to its forever home. Just imagine this stunning floral print with a reversible charcoal linen backing. 👌🏻🌸

“I've been rocking and cuddling my baby to sleep since that day he was born. I mentioned this to a nurse at my clinic recently. She said that she did the same thing with her son, and everyone warned her that she would still have a teenager sleeping in her bed. And then she told me that, a few weeks ago, her teenage son came home from school very upset. He didn't want to talk, and just went to his room and listened to his music, typed on his phone and cried. The mother gave her son space, and night time came and she went to bed. Just as she was about to turn off her side light, the door opened, and her 15 year old padded into the room. He climbed into the bed with her, laid his head on her shoulder and cried.

He told her all about the girl that broke his heart, all about the friends who laughed, all about the stresses of being him. She told him about her first broken heart, about friends who'd been cruel, and told him she understands. They talked in the dark for hours, until he feel asleep in her bed. Still sad but relieved after their talk.

'So you see' she said to me, when she finished the story. 'I was so scared that I wound wind up with a teenager who would 'need me' at night, that I never stopped to consider how beautiful that would really be.' 🌟"

For those that have asked, I have finally finished a batch of face masks and they are ready to be sent.
Our non-medical grade masks are made using a triple layer of 100% off cut printed cotton (some have a cotton/linen side) from our futons and bubble rugs.
Each face mask is reversible, reusable and washable with ties as we have to save the planet a little and the ears.
You can grab your mask by DM me or heading over to our store.

This week is Sleep Awareness week.
Whilst on the face of it, sleep is something simple we do every day - and something most people tend to take for
granted. I know I do, especially when I’ve got orders to complete.
It’s importance to our physical and mental wellbeing cannot be underestimated.

While you are sleeping your body does a lot of important work to maintain your health and wellness:

· Poor sleep leads to decreased decision-making ability, poorer reaction times and greater irritability.
· Hormones flood your body during sleep which helps your body to grow and repair itself.
· Your immune system releases a type of small proteins called cytokines. If you’re sick or injured, these cytokines help your body fight infection and
without enough sleep, your immune system might not be able to function at its best.
· Chronic sleep disruptions increase the likelihood of negative thinking, depression and anxiety.
· Good quality sleep assists with the recovery from stressful experiences, and is related to greater mental resilience.

Implementing good sleep habits can improve sleep. Good sleep habits include a regular bedtime and waking time (this one I’m working on and trying to get to bed before 9. Which I find hard once the kids have gone to bed by 830). Anyone else feel like that?
You should also avoid stimulants (e.g., ci******es and
caffeine) before going to bed, exercising during the day, eating well, a comfortable bedroom that is quiet and dark, and avoiding electronic screens in the
bedroom are all essential habits for good quality sleep.
Happy sleeping
