Gooooood morning! ☀️

And just like that... we're already into the third week of the summer holidays! 😳

Has someone secretly activated a time machine somewhere?! Because I'm convinced we only just broke up from school! 😂

We've been making the most of some very well-needed family time in between making your orders and, honestly, it's been lovely. ❤️

The only downside is... I've completely lost my mojo! 🤣

I've got a to-do list so long it rivals Santa's...

And if I don't get my bum in gear soon, I reckon I'll be moving from his nice list straight onto the naughty one! 😂🎅

Talking of Santa...

Did you know we've already had our THIRD Christmas order of the year?! 🎄😳

I absolutely love how organised some of you are. I'm slightly envious to be honest because I'm the sort of person who'll remember something important at 2am and hope I still remember it by morning! 🤣

Today is a mix of: 📦 Finishing and posting orders 💻 Catching up on admin 📦 Diving back into the mystery boxes of forgotten ideas to see what treasures are hiding in there!

I'm determined to get some of these ideas out of the boxes and into the shop before they become archaeological discoveries! 😂

What's everyone up to today?

Whatever you've got planned, I hope you have a fabulous day! ❤️

Gooooood morning! ☀️

Today is officially... SORT OUT DAY! 🤣

Now, these three boxes might not look like much...

But they're actually a treasure trove of ideas that I've had over the last couple of years and never quite got around to bringing to life! 😂

Think of them as... brain dumps in a box. 📦💡

There's some absolute gems hidden in here, alongside things that made perfect sense at 11pm with a coffee in one hand and my phone notes open in the other... and now I'll probably look at them thinking... "What on earth was I on about?!" 🤣

Anyone else having a nose through would probably just ask...

"Erm... what's THAT supposed to be?" 😂

The funny thing is, this is only THREE boxes. There are quite literally hundreds of ideas scattered around the studio in notebooks, drawers, folders and random piles. Every time I walk past them I swear they're all giving me the side-eye...

"Oi... remember us?!" 👀🤣

Yes, yes... I know you're there! I'll get to you when I get five minutes! 😂

Who knows... there could be the next bestseller hiding in one of these boxes just waiting for its moment!

So... what do you think is hiding in them? 👀

Wrong answers encouraged... let's see who comes up with the funniest guess! 🤣👇

Helloooo! 👋😂

Sorry I've been so quiet!

The Mr had the week off, so we've been making the most of some much-needed family time, enjoying the lovely weather and then heading back into the studio in the evenings to get your orders made. Best of both worlds really! ☀️❤️

I've just finished off all outstanding orders and I'm about to head to the post office, so if you ordered up until yesterday... your happy mail is officially on its way! 📦💨

Now for the exciting bit... 👀

I've been working away on something behind the scenes that I'm REALLY hoping is going to make ordering so much easier for you all and completely transform this little business. 🤞✨

It's definitely not an overnight project - I'm expecting it to take a good few weeks (maybe even a couple of months!) - but if all goes to plan, I'm hoping to launch it before the C word season arrives... 🤫🎄

Because apparently running a small business during the busiest time of the year isn't challenging enough... I thought I'd throw a massive spanner in the works! 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

Watch this space... I genuinely can't wait to share more when I can!

On another note... can we all just appreciate this cooler weather for a minute?! 😍 I never thought I'd say it, but after the last heatwave I'm absolutely loving being able to breathe again! 😂

Hope you've all had a fabulous day and enjoy your evening!

Gooooood morning! ☀️

Ah, what a lush weekend! ❤️

We spent it relaxing, firing up the BBQ and celebrating our nephew becoming a Welsh Champion! 🥳🚴‍♂️ He won his Welsh Champs jersey at Beicio Cymru in Pembrey this weekend and we couldn't be prouder. What an incredible achievement! 💛

It was straight back to the grind yesterday though, getting orders completed and packed... including our first Christmas order of the year! 🎄😳

I absolutely LOVE customers who are this organised! Although I really should take a leaf out of their book and get my own butt in gear! 🤣

I've got so many ideas buzzing around my head for this year's Christmas range and I've been quietly experimenting with a few of them behind the scenes... 🤫👀

Let's just say I'm VERY excited to show you what's coming!

And because misery loves company...

Did you know there's only 22 weekends left until the big day?! 🎅🎁

You're welcome. 😂

Right, enough talking... I've got a studio full of orders waiting for me!

Hope you all have a fabulous day!

Ah... what a week it's been! ❤️

I'm absolutely exhausted and spent most of yesterday doing very little other than catching up on sleep and recharging.

It's amazing just how exhausting emotions can be. 🥹

We rounded off primary school with a lovely evening down on the beach where the kids could run around, play together and make a few more memories before they all head off on their next adventures.

It was also lovely for us parents to finally take a breath, unwind and try to process just how quickly our babies have grown up.

I don't think any of us are quite ready for it, but what a perfect way to end such a special chapter. ❤️

And just like that...

☀️ Summer holidays are here!

Six whole weeks of memory-making, adventures, lazy mornings (hopefully! 😂), family time and making the most of every moment together.

The orders have naturally slowed down a little now that teacher gifts and leavers' bits have finished, so I'm making the most of the quieter spell by enjoying some quality family time... whilst my brain is already whirring away with new ideas! 👀✨

I've got lots planned for: 🍎 Back to School 🍂 Autumn 🎃 Halloween
..and yes... whisper it quietly...

🎄 The C word! (I'm sorry... but it'll be here before we know it! 🤣)

As always, thank you so much for all your support, your orders, your lovely comments and for following along with all my ramblings. It genuinely means the world to my little business. ❤️

I hope you've all had a fantastic weekend and here's to making the most of the summer holidays!

A few more of the Ysgol Llansteffan memorial hoodies before they were collected. 💙

I didn't manage to photograph every single one (time definitely wasn't on my side!), but I'm so pleased I managed to capture a few.

I've since heard the hoodies were kept as a surprise and handed out to the children at the end of their community assembly yesterday... and they absolutely loved them. 🥹 That makes every late night and every hour spent creating them so worthwhile.

I hope these hoodies become keepsakes that the children will look back on for years to come, reminding them of the friendships, memories and wonderful years they shared at Ysgol Llansteffan.

Thank you again for trusting REJ Designs with something so incredibly special. 💙

Some projects stay with you forever... 💙

Creating these memorial hoodies for the children of Ysgol Llansteffan has been one of the greatest honours since starting REJ Designs.

This wasn't just another order. It was deeply personal.

I was lucky enough to attend Ysgol Llansteffan, as did my brother and sister, and years later my own daughter walked through those same doors. Like so many families in our community, the school has been part of our story for generations.

Although yesterday marked the end of an era, the memories made within those walls will live on. I hope these hoodies become a lasting reminder of friendships, laughter and the special place Ysgol Llansteffan will always hold in so many hearts.

Thank you to everyone who trusted me with such an important project. It truly means more than words can say. 💙

I AM NOT OK TODAY!! 😭😭😭

That's it...

It's officially mini me's last EVER day of primary school and the floodgates have well and truly opened. 💔🥹

Whoever said "they grow up so fast" wasn't lying because I'm convinced she only started Reception about five minutes ago.

Now she's walking out of those gates for the very last time and I genuinely don't know where the years have gone.

I'm so incredibly proud of the kind, funny, caring and confident young lady she's becoming... but could she maybe just stay little for another few years please?! 😭❤️

So if you're waiting on an order from me today, just know it's probably being steam pressed... and not just because of the heat press! 😂😭

I've got a mountain of orders to get through today to keep my mind occupied, which is probably for the best because if I stop for more than five minutes, I'll be blubbering all over again.

To all the Year 6 children finishing primary today...

Go and enjoy every second of it. Be proud of yourselves, make lots of memories and get ready for your next adventure.

And to all the parents...

We'll get through this... won't we?! 😭😂

Have a fabulous day everyone.

I'm off to find some waterproof mascara... and maybe a whole box of tissues.

Gooooood morning! ☀️🥵

It's morning already?! 😭

I pulled a VERY late one last night getting everything prepped for today's heat pressing because once those machines are on... there's no stopping until the pile disappears! 💪🏼🔥

That poor heat press has absolutely no idea what's about to hit it today...

👕 20 hoodies 👕 12 T-shirts 🛍️ 10 personalised bags 🪪 30 lanyards ✨ Plus a few other bits and bobs thrown into the mix for good measure!

Safe to say it's going to be a warm one in the studio! 😂

I'm genuinely starting to think I should invest in one of those F1 ice-pack cooling vests... you know, the ones that make the drivers look like they're part of a cartel smuggling something around the paddock?! 🤣

I could DEFINITELY do with one today...

THE VEST, THAT IS! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

Right... first job is playing taxi driver, then it's straight back to the studio with an industrial-sized iced coffee and the fans on full blast! ☕️💨

Wish me luck... I think I'm going to need it! 😅

Hope you all have a fabulous day!

Gooooood morning! ☀️

Phew... yesterday was a busy one! 😅 I finally sat down at 9pm and was out like a light!

I managed to get caught up on lanyards and... you've done it again... SOLD OUT!! 🎉🥹 Thank you all so much! I've got more blanks being delivered today so I can finish off the remaining orders.

I'm also waiting on a very large clothing delivery and a few other bits to arrive before I can really get cracking. Once that delivery drops, you'll probably hear nothing from me... I'll be buried in the studio! 🤣

I didn't manage to get photos of everything yesterday either 🤦🏻‍♀️ I remembered to photograph the first batch early in the morning, then the heat completely cooked my brain! 🥵😂

Oh... and we had TWO wasps' nests removed yesterday! 😱🐝 Definitely not the kind of visitors we wanted!

We've also had loads of cake toppers heading over to Tara, so thank you so much for supporting not just me, but Tara as well! ❤️ The final batch for this year's teachers' cupcakes is heading over today and I can't wait to see them all finished. 😍🧁

Right... I'm off to grab a VERY strong coffee ☕ before the madness begins. Fans are on, machines are fired up, and we're ready to smash another day! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Have a fabulous day everyone!
