Hey lovelies! A friend of mine runs this fantastic little group as a way to help anyone in the uk who might be in need with their little ones by providing a platform to both seek help with things that might be needed for kids, and to pass on anything you might have to donate that someone whos struggling could make use of. It's all about the children, it's a lovely, non judgemental group. Absolutely no sales allowed its specifically set up to help families in need. If you know of anyone who could benefit from this page, either to seek or to offer help with children's items, send them on to this fantastic little group. Admin are always happy to post anonymously if someone wishes to keep their story private, and It's a private group so I'm not sure how to share it on here but this is a screenshot of the page 💕

EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!!

COMPETITION!!

WIN your first monthly collectors box FREE! (photo is an example of my pegs and not the prize!)

how would you like to receive a little box of happiness every month?? These boxes would contain 3 to 5, 6cm, limited edition, hand painted, CE tested peg dolls, (number will depend on the theme and level of detail in the designs) These pegs will ONLY be available for collectors boxes and will not be remade. Also included in the boxes would be leaflets/business cards/discount vouchers for various different small businesses. I'm a big believer in shopping small and am excited to have the opportunity to support as many wonderful businesses as possible! These boxes will be priced at £15 plus p+p, or £20 plus p+p to upgrade to 9cm pegs (suitable for under 3s as the 6cm ones are unsuitable for under 3s due to their small size). I will do my best to include extra surprise goodies in random boxes, so you never know what you'll get, anything from a wee chocolate bar, to business scratchcards, discount vouchers and some lucky boxes will even contain a surprise extra peg or two. What's not to love?? There is no subscription, so you can either sign up to pay monthly through PayPal, or just pay a one off whenever you fancy receiving a box for that month. No cancellation ever needed, no contracts. Just pick and choose when you'd like a box 😊

To enter, all I ask is the following:

1. Like and share this post

2. Comment with whether you'd rather have: A) surprise box each month, B) a themed box with surprise pegs, or C) a preview before ordering so you'd get to see the pegs before they arrived.

winner will be announced by 9pm on the 7th of March, one winner will win a free collectors box and 3 other winners will receive a 20% discount off their first box, good luck! 💕

Are there many small businesses following this wee page?? Looking to possibly work with a few, message me for more info or pop a comment under this post and il give you a shout. Nothing huge just a wee idea 💕

I am thinking of starting a monthly collectors subscription for my pegs, the cost would be £15 per month for 3-5 6cm, limited edition pegs that will only be available to subscribers (depending on the theme and details) and each month would have a different theme. Anyone interested in this could you please contact me for more information, or comment on this post? Hoping to start the first ones for the end of March, and I will be running a competition in the next few weeks to win the first set free. This will be a cancel at any time subscription, no contract. Just a monthly payment with a 2-3 week turnaround depending on the number of orders 😊

Excuse my paint covered table, needs a good clean! Il take better photos when they're finished off and ready to go to their new homes 😊

Been having lots of fun this week, a few gifts for friend's little's birthday, and some customer orders. It's all about the rainbows, but how adorable are these painted, interchangeable bumble animals?? Blank DIY bumbles from Tact-Isle Toys just loved painting these beauties! Can't rave about this wee business enough!

Prototype toy in the making! Super excited! It may look like I'm not up to much, but behind the scenes I'm busy beavering away with paperwork, testing, selecting the materials, and of course painting orders, all around a baby who currently seems to have forgotten how to sleep! My little toy may not seem like much whne I finally have a finished piece in my hand to paint... But it's taken months of trial and error, and a whole lot of time and expense to get it to where it needs to be to be safe for production for little hands! I cannot WAIT to share it with you all 😁and of course, they will be fully customisable so can be painted any way you like... Watch this space over the coming months, as soon as its ready ol be running a wee competition to win one of the very first ones made! 😁

More beautiful pegs, these ones are huge! Got some big ideas for these bad boys 😁

Cant wait to have a go at painting these beauties! Thank you Tact-Isle Toys, they're amazing as expected! Hopefully get the chance to paint them some time this week once ordered are caught up on 😍

Oh I love happy post! Finally collected these today, DIY bumbles all the way from the Isle of Wight, Tact Isle toys, so excited to get my creative head on already 😍

Sorry for the radio silence folks... Busy wee bee behind the scenes! Lot_ of designs, new plans and big ideas coming up this year, exciting! Here's a sneak peek of a few recent orders in working on 😍

Just to update, I'm having issues with my messenger on my phone, and can't seem to send/receive messages, particularly anything with photos! This should be sorted in the next few days so anyone with current orders, I'm not ignoring you my phones just playing up 🙈

Another moon phase set finished off, previous customer photo vs my own, I really must get better with my phone camera (or get a phone with a better camera 🤔). The moons in real life really aren't that plain bright white! Couldn't resist, whilst waiting between coats of paint drying tonight, I had to have a wee play with Finns rainbow, I think it's definitely becoming a mum toy. And these beautiful, mahoosive bumbles (not made by me but from tact-isle toys, have bottom pieces too but I took them off for this!) are awesome for balancing with the rainbow but oh I reeeeallly wanted the other 2 at the bottom to balance on the green bits at the top... Too risky at this hour with downstairs neighbours though 😂🙈

So I'm back 😁 hope you've all had a fantastic Christmas and New year. Sorry for the radio silence, had a few days break with my little man, and have also recently discovered that the paints I use are tested on animals, which I'm not happy about! Because of this, I've sourced a new paint manufacturer entirely. As it stands, the rustoleum toy safe paints are all entirely safe for CE safety tests, I just can't guarantee that they're not tested on animals so don't want to risk it. From here on in (as soon as I've completed my new CE safety tests for them!) , any future pegs painted will be made with vegan friendly, toy safe paint and sealer and will 100 percent not be tested on animals. Keep your eyes peeled for lots of new ideas coming in 2020, exciting times ahead! Now pass me my paintbrush! 💕

Hope everyone has had a fantastic Christmas 😊il be reopening my order books in the next few days once the house is back to normal and I'm caught up on paperwork. I look forward to lots of new creations for 2020 ❤️can anyone still waiting for orders that were sent out before Christmas please let me know? Seems one or 2 are playing hide and seek somewhere😔fingers crossed its just royal mail delays!

One last little project before santa, eek I'm a little bit in love 😂❤️ (not sealed yet)

That's this elf done her very last delivery for Christmas orders (apart from one local one to go this weekend 😊) if anyone is still waiting, they are on their way I promise! I've painted into crazy hours and pulled a few all nighters to get things out on time, it makes me smile so much to think of all my little creations off on their travels to be enjoyed by little people everywhere! Thank you to every one of you for support, encouragement and orders. Bring on the new year my wee mind is buzzing with new ideas! Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas! Here's to 2020 being even more awesome ❤️ (ps, on a random note... I've lost a set of 4 pirates so if anyone gets them in their parcel by mistake, do keep them but let me know cause il need to make a new set and it will save me turning my house upside down to find them 😂)

According to my fb memories, 5 years ago today I was at a works night out and I probably rolled in close to 4 in the morning (still make work for 630 though 😂). This year, I climbed into bed at almost 4am after a painting marathon to get some last minute painting done for my last delivery day! Wouldn't change a thing ❤️
**edit**
The night Garden pegs are a gift for someone, I can't sell these as they're copyrighted characters but I did enjoy painting them 😁

Anyone expecting a delivery from me this week.... Please excuse the packaging, had to improvise a little 🙈recycling bubble wrap as I ran out of tissue paper, trip into town for more would mean another day waiting to post 😅it's what's inside that counts though honest!

Packing these awesome little characters with their letters from santa, designed by clever little people, off to their new homes tomorrow 😍

Sorry for the lack of posting anything much in here... I'm working my butt off but also have a poorly little guy who has just had one thing after another wee soul 😔I'm doinbg my very best to get things out as quickly as possible, here's a wee selection of some that have gone off to their new homes this week (or are on their way!) feels like I still have a mountain of them to go 🙈 can you tell there's some in there designed by little ones? 😂❤️

They're here at last and well worth the wait ❤️

Christmas peg orders! I've got orders coming out my ears this week 😂🙈instead of posting in dribs and drabs, I've arranged someone to run me to the post office with a big delivery to send off next Tuesday... could anyone with Christmas peg orders that would really like them sooner please get in touch and il pop down to the post office this week with them? Eagerly awaiting stationery to send with orders (business cards, address labels, scratch cards, thank you notes... 😁)I PROMISE every last Christmas order will be send out in plenty time for Christmas or your requested dates! Busy wee elf helper indeed!

Eek, my very clever sister has worked her magic for my sons nursery craft stall, I'm so excited! 😍🎅
