I'm still here, haven't done a runner 🤣 Been busy working away behind the scenes and rarely get a minute to post on socials these days!
•
Made my kids some jumpers for the summer and popped this new design on...let me know what you think... If there's enough interest, I might just add it to the site 🤗
•
Launching a flash sale this evening for kids hoodies, jumpers, tees and adult tees...all at 50% OFF!!! I have a certain number of each size available and you'll be able to pick your hand dyed colour and design, so you're basically just getting a custom top for half price!
•
Have a flick through the images on here to see the designs you can choose from for each product along with a list of hand dyed colours - gotta be prepared for what you're ordering as it'll be fastest finger first 👆🤣

I've been making a lot of our inhale exhale jumpers recently and it got me thinking...these are still one of our most popular designs, even 3.5 years later!
•
This was the very first design I ever did - Tiny Tortle was still a craft business, making nursery decor and painting story stones 🎨 I wanted a new yoga jumper but couldn't see anything I fancied, so (as I tend to do), I just decided to make my own!
•
I drew the design by hand, sent it to the computer to cut out the vinyl and pressed it onto a plain jumper and voilà! 🧘‍♀️
•
The design was so popular that I decided to start selling them and as they say... the rest is history 🤗

I've been a bit AWOL on here over the past week while the kids were off on half term. I made the decision to take a break from posting on here and just enjoy the time with them, and we certainly crammed in a lot of fun trips!

But quite honestly, I feel like I've lost my mojo on here a bit. Life with 4 kids is pretty full on and trying to get all my orders made in and around them is tricky enough, never mind trying to take photos and videos of it all for the socials! 🤯

I was also thinking about the last few years, whilst going through COVID and having to stay at home etc...coming on here was actually cathartic for me. I was able to spend the time taking beautiful pictures of my hand dyed clothing and then writing a lovely long & meaningful blurb to go with it, and it definitely helped me feel a bit more connected to the outside world

But now, life is back to normal and I'm meeting up with great friends, having lovely long chats over brunch and somehow, it makes this all seem a bit pointless 🤔 Of course, these days it's become NECESSARY for a business to promote themselves on social media, but for me, that's not going to be at the expense of enjoying life itself

There's just not enough hours in the day to do it all. I'm finally holding my hands up 🏳️ The website is still very much open and orders are still coming in. I'm just making the decision to prioritise the real life stuff for a bit

I'm not saying goodbye, I'm not even saying 'see you soon'. Let's just say 'see you when I see you' 😘

I can hardly believe it's Christmas tomorrow. The past month has just flown in!
•
I've got three verrrrrryyy excited girls here and an equally excited boy who has no actual clue what it's all about 🤣
•
I hope you all have a wonderful day tomorrow, spending time with your loved ones and eating allllll the food 🦃
•
It really is the most wonderful time of the year 🎄

There's no better feeling than posting your final parcel before Christmas ❤️
•
Honestly, I can't thank you all enough for your support this year. When I say it means the world to me, I really, truly mean it...This year has been unprecedented for small businesses, with the cost of living crisis affecting the way people have been spending their money, along with the cost of our materials rising dramatically
•
Couple that all with the Royal Mail strikes that have been ongoing for the past few weeks now and it's enough to put any small business over the edge 🤪
•
Thankfully I have pretty wonderful customers that have kept me plenty busy. I love what I do and it never feels like work but this is why I needed to close up and get a proper break this Christmas to spend some much needed time with family and try and slow down a little (ha...who am I kidding?!)
•
So I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and I'll be back up and running in the New Year. I've got big things coming for Tiny Tortle in 2023 and I'm excited to share them with you ❤️

Hi guys. I've finally (somewhat) surfaced from the most rotten flu / chest infection / sinusitis
•
The past 6 weeks has been a constant stream of sickness in our house and I feel like I've been chasing my tail trying to keep on top of orders, the house and 4 little people. Add that to the stress all the Royal Mail strikes have brought and I've made a decision to do something I never do...
•
I've completely shut the website down for Christmas, along with my Etsy and Not on the High Street shops, and I'll reopen in the New Year
•
Thank you to everyone who has chosen to buy something from me this year, it really does mean the world to me and I hope you all love your purchases as much as I love making them!
•
All outstanding orders will be posted in the next few days. Keep an eye out for your dispatch email with your tracking number
•
Merry Christmas and I'll be back in 2023 ❤️

Thanks to everyone who has supported in my bid to raise money for her ongoing cancer treatment 🙏
•
I'm going to be closing the order books for these onesies on the 1st of December and 100% of the profits will be going to Jemma
•
So if you were planning to order one, now's your chance!
•
Available from 6 months right up to adults XL
•
These would make a lovely Christmas gift for somebody, and it's made that bit more special by knowing that you're helping a mummy get some extra time with her three little kiddies 💔
•
Thank you 🙏
