Little Crafty Hugs

Little Crafty Hugs Started in April 2021
I make to order, 100's and 100's of children paint your own sets for all ages. Single parent to 2 great children 19 years apart.

So while on maternity leave back in 2021 and during covid times, I wanted something to keep me driven and do something I would enjoy. And this is where Little Crafty Hugs comes in. After a few trails and errors of what I wanted to do, making children paint you own sets was it.

40 Initial & Figure Sets... and not a single one is identical! 😱

Somewhere out there, 40 little figures are living their best lives, all thinking they're the favourite. 😂

Each set contains a random figure, meaning every box is a surprise! I've mixed in both bright primary colours and dreamy pastel shades, so there's something for everyone. 🌈✨

After packing what felt like enough figures to start my own tiny army, they're now on their way to their new home. 🤞 Here's hoping the customer loves them as much as I loved making them!

Want your own surprise set? Head to my Etsy shop and grab one before the figures start demanding their own postcode. 😆

Well, 1½ days later, 2 bin bags full of rubbish, and my work shed is finally tidy... the tidiest it's been in over 3 years! 🎉

Blimey, it was hard work. Between juggling orders, having a 5-year-old at home for an inset day, and two nutter dogs who insist on being my shadows wherever I go, it's been a mission. 🐶🐶

I'd love to say I won't let it get into that state again... but I think we all know I can't make that promise. 😂

For now though, everything is organised and looking very smart.

And Laura, before you ask... I didn't find Fred the giant spider. 🕷️ So he's either packed his bags and moved out, or he's patiently waiting for the perfect moment to scare the life out of me!

🕷️😂

Well, I think the time has finally come to sort this mess out.

What a mess it's been.

I've had this shed for 4 years, and as life has got busier, I've not necessarily become lazy... but things just get dumped wherever they'll fit. Stock arrives randomly, I chuck it in, shut the door, and hope for the best.

And this... this is the result.

To be honest, it's not workable at all anymore. Every time I need something, it's like an archaeological dig.

So yesterday, I made the decision: enough is enough. It's time to sort it once and for all and give it a proper clean-out.

This is the "before" — and yes, it's slightly embarrassing to show on camera.

But don't worry, because I also want to show you the glow-up it's about to have... or, by the time you're watching this, the glow-up it's already had.

Let's get stuck in.

Day off today so me, Brooklyn and the gang headed to The Ice Cream Farm 🍦😂

Kids living their best lives while the adults sat there solving life problems like a low-budget therapy podcast 🤣🙌

Spent more on ice cream than my weekly food shop, heard everyone’s life story, and somehow still left happier ❤️

10/10 would recommend: ✨ sugar ✨ sunshine ✨ emotionally unloading on your mates while pretending it’s “just a catch up” 😂

Thought this would be a quick job… 3 business days later and we’re still here 🤣
