Hey Diddle Denim

🐟 Exploring the big blue, one tank at a time…

…and looking fin-tastic as she does! 🐠

🎃 Harper the Hallow-Queen 🎃

You may have spotted Harper rocking her Hallow-Queen jacket on my stories but they were just too good not to post on the grid too! 🧡

Apparently she is a big fan of Halloween and there’s not long to go now! ⏰

I am very excited to dress my little scamps up next week 🖤 I’ve never been a huge halloween fan but with little ones it feels like another occasion in the year to do some different things and have some fun so I’m leaning into it! 👻🎃

🎃🕷️🧙 Potion Making 🧙🕷️🎃

Yesterday I was sent the most amazing photos of Albert and Arthur having the best time making potions in their Hey Di**le Halloween hats! I couldn’t choose just one to share as I love them all 🧡🖤

Their very clever mum is a photo prop wizard (or should I say witch!) and I just love the backdrop 🎃 as you can see the boys were fully into their play! 👻

💕📣 Big Sister 📣💕

Well how adorable is this photo of a jacket which was used as part of a pregnancy announcement and to celebrate this one’s new role as a future Big Sister! 🩷

And if you look close enough you can see that she’s hugging the scan photo!! Doesn’t that just break your heart! 🥹

Another huge congratulations to and thank you so much for sharing this with me! 🫶

🎃 Hallow-Queen 🎃

I don’t think we should really start celebrating Halloween until at least October…but I couldn’t resist giving the biggest scamp’s new Halloween jacket a little test run yesterday!

Thanks so much for all the love for it on my stories and I thought it deserved a little place on the grid too. I’m so excited to start making a couple more for some fellow Hallow Queens! 👻👑

🎉 Birthday Besties! 🎉

Well, isn’t this the most adorable photo of two besties who were twinning (and definitely winning!) on their recent first birthdays 🥳

It genuinely makes my day when I see photos of the little ones in their jackets and so appreciate them! 💕

📸 Thank you so much for the photo

✈️ Leaving on a jet plane ✈️

How incredible is this snap of these sisters in their matching jackets at the airport ready for their summer holiday adventure! Nothing quite like the that excitement of boarding a plane ☀️

My heart was also very full as apparently people were commenting on the jackets in the airport saying how much they loved them! The cutest feedback! 💕

💚 Sliding into a new week…💚

Imogen was definitely rocking her jacket at the park this weekend, and I do love the name in pink! 🩷

😀 Little Smiler 😀

I adore this photo of Maisie looking so happy in her jacket and that grazed nose is a sign of a proper toddler adventure! 🩹

I’m also a sucker for floral cuffs and she’s truly rocking the turn ups here! 💕

☀️ Soul full of sunshine☀️

And just like that the sun is back! I genuinely can’t believe the difference in the weather from this morning to tonight! 👏

Just like the gorgeous monkey in this photo, I hope everyone grabs their sunnies and dashes out to make the most of it tomorrow! Who knows how long it will last! 🕶️

💜 Lucy 💜

The name Lucy means ‘of the light’ and I know a few little Lucy’s who do bring so much light to the world!

This is my first jacket with a name in purple and I love the variation!

🌹 Sabrina 🌹

This is the first jacket I’ve embroidered with red flowers and I do love the colour against the denim 🩵

This jacket was for a bigger size (10-11 years) and I think the colour makes it more ‘mature’ for that age! 💕

🐮🐴With love, from the farm 🐷 🐑

Is a summer holiday complete without a trip to the farm?! A childhood staple! 🐖

I do love this snap of these sisters enjoying their day out in the sun! ☀️

📸 thanks for sharing it

🤍 Winnie 🤍

Another name I adore! I feel like this jacket looks very classic with the white text and pink flowers 🌸

🌸 Freya 🌸

Shades of pink were chosen for this jacket, and apparently Freya is the Norse goddess of love and beauty so those shades feel very apt!

🩵 Denim Gang 🩵
I feel very fortunate to have met some lovely mums and little ones through our antenatal classes, and I adore this photo of some of the gang in their denim jackets from last year! 💕

Twinning is definitely winning! 🏆

💛 Livvy 💛

Pink and purple flowers have been very popular recently so it was lovely to mix things up with the pastels on this jacket 💕

🤍 You got this, flower girl 🤍

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how incredible Darcey looks on her parents’ wedding day last month? 💒

That dress, the flowers in her hair, the jacket…🤍

And that cheeky tongue poking out is just something else! 🥰

💕Sister, sister💕

Earlier this week I posted these matching jackets for two sisters to wear on their holidays! I am totally here for matching family outfits and I bet they look adorable running around in these together. Fingers crossed the rain improves for their holiday though!! ☔️

Also, how adorable are their names?! I’m loving all the older names coming back into style again ❤️

Now I wonder how many 80s children heard the ‘Sister, sister’ theme tune as they read that title…🙊

💜 Luna💜
Life has been so busy lately and after a sudden influx of orders, I’ve got quite a few jackets to show you! I’m going to try and post a bit more if life will let me🤞

Interestingly after making this jacket, I then got a second order for another Luna! So you may see that soon… 👀

I love finding out what names are on each order and there have been so many lovely ones recently! 🤍

🤍 Alba 🤍
It’s been a busy week and after a sudden influx of orders, I’ve been madly stitching away in between looking after two monkeys! I really do enjoy making these jackets and am thrilled that so many people like them too! 💕

Alba is such a beautiful and unique name meaning ‘white’ - so of course the name had to be in white embroidery! 🤍

🌸💗Flower Girls💗🌸

Is there any greater honour than being involved in someone’s wedding day? One of the most magical days of their lives?!…

Well earlier this week the lovely Ellice made me squeal with joy when she sent me some sneak peek photos of her wedding last Saturday where she had chosen for her gorgeous flower girls to wear two of my jackets! 🥰

I felt so honoured and thrilled to be a part of their special day. They are such a gorgeous family and their wedding day looked truly beautiful just as they deserve! ❤️

Now I know I am biased, but I think the two flower girls look ridiculously cute in their jackets and they make such a fab layer over their beautiful dresses 💕

Thank you so much again Ellice and I can’t wait to swoon over more of your photos 😘

And do make sure you go and follow Ellice and her cheeky little toddler Darcey if you don’t already!

💜E V A💜
Now this jacket was part of an incredibly exciting order as it was made for a super special occasion which I will show photos of soon! ✨

Eva means ‘life’ and I love how classic and elegant the name is. 💕

💛M is for M I L L I E 💛

Millie means ‘gentle strength; strong in work’ and I hope the little one receiving this jacket grows up to be one strong girl 💪

☀️ P A R K L I F E☀️
Now I have a toddler, I spend a LOT of time in parks and it often feels like you’re participating in a chaotic game show...

You're sprinting after your kids while attempting to hold conversations with other parents, and the prize is a moment of uninterrupted adult conversation. The dream!

It's such a balancing act of storytelling and chasing tiny tornadoes, where the true winners are the parents who can tell a funny anecdote without tripping over a pram…

Park benches also make for good photo opportunities of my jackets - who knew?! 🙊

🌊☀️ S E A S I D E ☀️ 🌊

Oof it’s certainly been a hot few days and it’s been sweaty business running around after two little ones in this weather 🥵

A few weeks ago we went to the seaside as part of some birthday celebrations and I’m dreaming of that sea breeze right now! 🌊

I love how denim jackets look good with any outfit and they are such a useful layer with our ever changing British weather! ⛅️

💙N is for N O V A💙
Now little Nova here has so much personality that it just had to be bright, happy colours on her jacket!

They certainly stand out against those dark clouds too! 🙊

🚨 Summer S A L E 🚨

As it’s first week of the jolly holidays, I thought I’d treat anyone who has been thinking about a jacket to 10% off my Etsy shop- but for this week only (or until I reach capacity!) 🍃

That means an upcycled jacket is yours for only £23.40. Quite a bargain! 💕

Find the link to my Etsy shop in my bio and use the discount code ‘SUMMER10’ 💌

⛅️ C O O L E R weather⛅️
Feeling very grateful for the cooler weather today after the scorching start to the week!

It wasn’t very fun having to hide indoors so we’re looking forward to lots of outside adventures - just like brave little Darcey here ready for some slide fun!

📸

🍃Walking into the W E E K E N D 🍃

Love this snap of little Imogen scouting out her next adventure with her Dadda. 👨‍👧

I think this weekends adventures will all be shade and water based to help us keep cool in this scorching sunshine!! ☀️
