*whispers* Is it too soon to talk about Christmas?🎄 @rachelgaledraws + @pipsqueak_uk have the perfect gift to treat your favourite small people: the gorgeous Mr Bear pillowcase 🧸 Designed by Rachel + hand printed by me, using the best eco-friendly inks on soft cotton percale ☺️ We think it makes a fab letterbox gift or stocking filler 😉 Available online or tap the pic to learn more ⬆️

R A I N Y D A Y S ☔️ It’s a duvet-on-the-sofa day here in Edinburgh… Movies, hot chocolate + snuggles with 🐨 so I’m definitely not complaining! How is it where you are? ☺️

J D A 🥉 I know I’m about two weeks late in sharing this glorious badge but better late than never 😉 + I really want to pop this here as one of my highlights of 2021 💥 I started @pipsqueak_uk while working part time in hospitality, during evenings while my son slept. I was (+ still am) completely self-funded + I often feel the isolation + loneliness of doing this by myself. It’s been a tough 18 months! 🥴 At the time of submitting my entry to @juniormagazineonline I was sorting out my UK residency visa while packing up our house to move from London to Scotland 😅 It was a stressful, hectic, busy + emotional month but I got there + this award is a reminder to me of not giving up + persevering, even when there are many obstacles to overcome 🙌🏼 Over the coming weeks I’ll share some things I’m working on which hopefully include some new designs! Happy Friday night all! 🥰

#JDA21 🎉 Cannot quite believe it!! @pipsqueak_uk has been awarded ⚡️BRONZE⚡️in @juniormagazineonline Junior Design Awards this year!! 😭🥳 Thank you to the excellent judges + everyone behind the scenes who made it all happen during this challenging year + to everyone who’s cheered me on along the way 🙌🏼❤️ And a HUGE congrats to my fellow winners ✨ @forivor @from_pea @bibusocial + @thegilded_bird ✨ I’m beyond honoured to stand alongside such beautiful brands ❤️ Thank you with all my heart!!! 🥰

P R I N T 🎨 I always love printing orders that are just pillowcases. I wonder how they’ll be styled + what bedding they’ll be paired with. It’s such an easy way to update your kids bedding + give their decor a fresh twist. Have you seen @pipsqueak_uk’s full range? Follow the link in my bio to take a look ⬆️

E D I N B U R G H 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Summer has finally arrived in the UK! We’ll be taking full advantage of both the beautiful weather + being beachside once more 🌊 How will you enjoy this weekend? ☀️

P R I N T I N G 👩🏻‍🎨 Slowly settling in to our new house in a new city. Boxes are (mostly) unpacked + I’m getting ready to print your #pipsqueakxrachelgale Mr Bear pillowcases this weekend! 🎨 I’m feeling rather beachy looking at these dreamy colours so might take my 🐨 to check out our local seafront 🌊 Perhaps not the ideal conditions at present to do so, but I’ve made a promise to myself that I won’t be that person who moves to Scotland + complains about the weather 😂

B I R T H D A Y ! 🎂 Happy third birthday to @pipsqueak_uk! 🎈 It’s been a pretty hectic week but we’re in our new house + I’m tackling the mountain of boxes so no big celebrations happening today 🤪 I’ll be back in work mode next week + printing all the lovely #pipsqueakxrachelgale Mr Bear pillowcases 🐻 @rachelgaledraws + I can’t wait for him to join you in your home 🥰

H I G H L I G H T S 🌟 I always get a massive buzz every time I receive an order + I can’t imagine that feeling will ever leave me 🥰 In addition to this, there are several other career highlights that have been quite magical for me ✨ 💫 Launching a freelance screen printing service + printing tees for the luminous @ishouldb 💫 Joining @the_mamahood + having my first experience being stocked in a bricks + mortar store 🤩 💫 My wonderful collaboration with the gorgeous @rachelgaledraws + last but not least... 💫 Being shortlisted for the @juniormagazineonline #jda2021 🙌🏼 to have made it that far is a HUGE achievement + I couldn’t be more proud! @pipsqueak_uk turns three 🎈 tomorrow + there’s still time to receive your special birthday treat 🎂 sign up to my newsletter by following the link in my bio ⬆️
