And so it begins…

Two weeks.
No school runs.
No lunchboxes.
No alarm clocks.

Just me, the kids, snacks and approximately 847 questions 😂

Wish me luck! ❤️

Who else is officially in holiday mode or has the “life juggle” ramped up like me? 🤹‍♀️

A little PSA from me… ❤️

Today is South Canterbury Anniversary Day, which means the couriers are having the day off! 📦😂

But don’t worry...

I’ll still be busy behind the scenes packing up your orders from today + the weekend, so they’re all ready to go first thing tomorrow morning 🙏

There are still calves to feed, animals to look after and farm jobs to be done today, but I’m also hoping to sneak in some time at my sewing machine! 🧵🤞

So if you place an order today, it will be packed and ready to head your way tomorrow morning.

Thanks so much for your patience and for supporting my little handmade business. It really does mean the world ❤️

I hope everyone in South Canterbury has a lovely Anniversary Day!

One of the things I never get tired of making… ❤️

My Well Child Book Covers have been on my sewing list, and I’ve finally got a beautiful new batch ready — including some gorgeous new florals and, of course, one of your all-time favourites…

Pooh Bear is back! 🐻🍯

These covers will always have a particularly special place in my heart.

The very first one I ever made was for Jack’s Well Child book when he was little.

What started as a simple little project for my own baby somehow turned into one of the things I make most.

And years later, I’m still sitting at my sewing machine making them for your little ones 🤱

I love thinking about all the precious books these covers have protected over the years.

The appointments, measurements, little notes from nurses and doctors, milestones and memories that make up those early years.

There’s something really special about taking something practical and turning it into something beautiful that becomes part of those memories.

And now there are some new pretties ready to become part of those stories 🌸

I’ve got some beautiful new florals available, along with some much-loved favourites.

And yes… Pooh Bear is back. 🐻

They’re available on the website now.

I’d love to know: which one would you choose? ❤️⤵️

They’re back! 🥳🥗

My Fabric Bowl Covers have just been restocked, and this time there are two brand new fabrics joining the collection…

🍎 Orchard
🌸 Tilly

I absolutely love them both and I’m so excited to finally have them sewn up and ready for you!

If you’ve been wanting to make the switch away from plastic wrap, these little covers are such a simple change.

Pop one over a bowl of leftovers, fruit, baking or whatever else needs covering, and you’re good to go ❤️

As Jem said in her lovely 5-star review:

“Out with Plastic! These covers are great and it is so nice not to have to use plastic wrap.”

And honestly… that’s exactly why I love making them.

Beautiful fabric + something genuinely useful + one less bit of plastic wrap needed 🥰

They’re available on the website now, along with all your favourite fabrics.

Which new fabric do you like best? Orchard or Tilly? 🍎🌸

She needs a name… 🌸⤵️

I’m currently sewing some new Fabric Bowl Covers and I couldn’t resist showing you this gorgeous floral fabric!

But there’s just one problem…

She doesn’t have a name yet! 🙈

So I need your help.

What would you call her? 🌸

Give me your best floral, pretty, old-fashioned, whimsical or completely random name in the comments below!

I’m so curious to see what you come up with. ❤️

And there’s another little exciting thing…

I’m hoping to have the new Fabric Bowl Covers on the website later this afternoon! 🥳

If you’d like to be one of the first to know when they’re available, comment “FIRST” below and I’ll make sure you know when they are on the website!!

I can’t wait to see what you name her! 😍

What would you love to see restocked? 🤔 🧵❤️

After a very busy couple of months on the farm, I’m finally starting to find a little more time to get back to my sewing machine.

And I couldn’t be more excited! 🥰

I’ve been thinking about what to make first, and I thought… who better to ask than YOU?

So, if you’ve been waiting for something to come back to Hugs & Kisses, what would you love to see restocked?

Is it…

🧵 Fabric Bowl Covers
📖 Well Child Book Covers
🎀 Scrunchies
🌸 Liberty Hankies
❤️ Something else?

Tell me in the comments! 👇

I’d love to know what you’ve been waiting for, and your answers might just help me decide what gets made first.

And if there’s a particular fabric you’d love to see again, tell me that too!

I’m so excited to be getting back into creating for you ❤️

xoxo
