Wiggy Wiggy Ziggy and I have been getting busy! We've been sewing away to be able to restock some popular items for you!
I know a few of you have been waiting for the chequered flag to be restocked for a few weeks and my missing fabric finally arrived so it's now been restocked in standard scrunchies and self tie headbands. I've also added more mini rainbow bubble scrunchies and the rainbow bubbles self tie headbands!
If you are awaiting more rainbow pumpkins then keep your eyes peeled on my socials Monday/Tuesday as I hope to be able to have them hand sewn, stuffed and smelling beautiful for you by then! There is still one left available for those who fancy just 1 but I know some of you want a whole shelf of them!
Ziggy and I are working into the evening but my lips are currently sealed as to what we are getting down to!

When launching any new product there are always nerves over whether it will sell or if people will love it. When I chose to do self tie headbands it was a huge step as the items I had launched before had failed so self doubt kicked in! However, over a year later and I have launched over 170 designs, sold over 100 headbands and got regular customers who love to wear them! Why are these popular? They are gentle on your hair, you are in control of how you wear them, retro/vintage vibes and no restrictions! Can you spot the odd item in these 2 orders today?

If you saw my packing videos you may have spotted this going out. For those who don't know I create handmade pumpkins made from fabric, hessian, twine, thread and soft filling but the magic is what is inside. They are scented with an aromatic mixture of spices - cinnamon, cloves and star anise. It's the most popular scent I offer, taking people to their warm, cosy, autumnal space.
This is the brand new rainbow bubbles pumpkin, that I didn't intend to make but those who saw my live on TT decided I needed to make them! I currently only have 1 left after the initial launch but the good news is they will be restocked next week along with the headbands + minis in the same fabric AND I am bringing in mega scrunchies too. I also have 2 new batik fabrics to come PLUS the chequered flag scrunchies and headbands will be restocked too!
I do still have plenty of other pumpkins on the online store, have you been and browsed them yet? Is there a colour you think I need to add? I know a few want a sage green and the black is going to be replaced later this month/early next month too.

I love getting to work with different crafts and today I get to work on pyrography as well as cut fabric. I just love a variety and there really is a variety in these 2 orders that went out this week. Can you spot anything of interest in them? I'll let you into a secret, the item that features in both is getting restocked this weekend as the fabric arrived yesterday!

Seeing my handmade scrunchies heading out sure gives me a warm buzz. Knowing they are going to be used in people's hairs where they will care for it and look good!
Can you guess which customer is the new one and which is the returning customer?

Why should I choose scrunchies to tie my hair back?
💚 Scrunchies are gentle on your hair and don't cause any pulling, tightness or breakage.
💚 The fabric on the outside acts as a barrier between your hair and the elastic inside to stop it getting tangled and broken.
💚My scrunchies don't include any embellishments that can get caught in your hair or snag it.
💚 I use soft fabrics that can easily be taken out your hair and help protect it.
💚They look stylish, can match to your outfits or show off your personality!
💚 They can be used by any age or s*x that needs to tie their hair back
💚I provide different size scrunchies depending on your hair type!
💚They last much longer than normal elastic bobbles and plastic hair claws so are better all around!
I have over 700 different scrunchies currently in stock including these new designs. I try and have designs for all, from plains and ginghams and tartans to batiks, alternative and quirky designs! What's your go to designs or colours when you accessorise with clothes?

Are you watching the match tonight or is football not your thing? We shall be watching and cheering England on. This order headed out this week to a regular customer. Sadly hadn't made it yet (thanks royal mail for sending it the wrong part of the country) but it's an amazing mix of designs! Any catch your eyes?

Amongst all the celebrations yesterday for my business birthday I think the launch got forgotten about by some so I thought I'd tell you a little bit more about them!
Yesterday I launched more hair accessories including 12 brand new self tie headbands in range of designs but mainly a range of batik designs. Batik is a dyeing technique which involves using wax to create a pattern and then using coloured dyes to create the design. Lots of you choose for more batiks for summer so I listened and looked for the colours and styles I know you all love plus a couple of unique ones too!
Now the batik range is a limited one. I won't be restocking any of them so if you take a shine to one then it's best to grab it asap! As always I highly recommend heading over to the website to look at the designs in detail and close up. Don't forget they are available in scrunchies too! The rainbow bubbles design is the only one currently out of stock in the headbands but that is being restocked as you all told me to grab more of it to make more pumpkins and mega scrunchies too!
I really want to know which design stands out to you and are you grabbing them either in the headband or the scrunchies?

Huge thank you for all the amazing words on my post earlier and to those who have ordered from the new items!
I never thought my business would still be here after 10 years. It's been a rollercoaster journey and I have learnt a lot of things but I couldn't have done it without the amazing customers who come back time after time for my products, my followers who engage with my content and share it to their friends and families. Then to my family, the ones who listen, guide me and help me when I need it especially my amazing parents who today brought me a cake and sunflower to celebrate! Oh and Polly and Ziggy for their hard work too. They are my little team (Ziggy was camera shy)!
The special offer is still on until 11.59pm tonight, 10% off £25+ spend using code BIRTHDAY
