Momma Bear Creates

World Mental Health Day 🤍

One thing this little business has taught me is that we all carry things differently.

I’ve had customers keep clothes tucked away for years because they simply couldn’t face opening the bag.

I’ve had people tell me they’ve slept with a loved one’s jumper, kept a dog’s blanket exactly as it was, or held onto baby clothes because putting them away felt like closing the door on that part of their life.

And I completely understand why handing those things over to me can feel like such a huge step.

There’s no right timetable for grief. There’s no point when you should be ready to let go, sort through things, or turn them into something new.

Sometimes comfort is a photograph. Sometimes it’s talking about someone you miss. Sometimes it’s a scruffy old jumper that still feels like them.

So for World Mental Health Day, perhaps the reminder is simply this:

Be gentle with yourself. And be gentle with other people too — you never really know what someone is carrying. 🤍

Friday check-in… I’m officially running on 2% 🔋😂

No inspirational small business wisdom from me today.

No “rise and grind”.
No pretending I’ve got it all together.

Just a very tired woman who’s made it to Friday…

…and yes, I’m already in my pyjamas. 🤣

Please tell me I’m not alone — what percentage are you running on today? 👇

This is your heads up mommas, hold onto all those little Halloween & Christmas outfits and I'll make them into a keepsake you can display every year & pass onto them when they grow up 😍

A lovely way to remember their precious firsts ❤️

Do you have your baby's first clothes carefully tucked away?

Possibly an unpopular opinion from a memory bear maker… 👀

Not every precious piece of clothing needs to become a keepsake.

Sometimes there’s that *one* jumper, shirt, blanket or tiny outfit that you simply can’t imagine anyone taking scissors to — and that’s completely okay. ❤️

You don’t need to send me everything. You don’t need to be “ready” by a certain time. And you definitely shouldn’t part with something if the thought of it being cut makes your stomach flip.

Choose the pieces you’re comfortable using and keep the ones you’re not.

Your memories. Your clothes. **Your decision.** 🧸

Now I’m curious… **is there one item you know you could NEVER let me cut up?** Tell me what it is 👇
I'll tell you mine in the comments too 💔

A little honesty from behind the sewing machine ❤️

Every keepsake that comes into my workshop carries a story — and I never want those precious clothes to become just another order I need to rush through.

As my little business has grown, my turnaround times have had to grow with it too. Because there’s still only me here, making each one by hand, and some things just shouldn’t be rushed. 🧵🪡

That’s also why I have to have a Christmas cut-off.

🎄 1st October is the last date to order for guaranteed Christmas delivery.

I know it feels ridiculously early (I’m not ready for Christmas either 😂), but I’d rather close my Christmas order book than take on more than I can comfortably make and risk letting someone down.

Thank you for trusting me with the clothes that mean the most. I never take that for granted. ❤️

If a keepsake is on your Christmas list this year, there’s now just one week left to order. 🎄

If you voted or commented on my last post thank you, we were right to choose the bow, the customer loved her bear...her 20th!

Maybe you’re not ready to let go of Dad’s clothes… but you don’t quite know what to do with them either. ❤️

They don’t have to stay hidden away in a bag or at the back of a wardrobe.

I turn treasured clothing into keepsakes that you can see, hold and keep close — while keeping all those little details that make them his.

There’s no right time to do it.
Just whenever you’re ready. ❤️

Save this for later, or send it to someone who might need to see it.
