CHILDREN'S C H A R I T Y ✨ heykiddostudio was de

CHILDREN'S C H A R I T Y ✨ heykiddostudio was designed to inspire your little ones, to inject magic into their rooms, to create an environment where they feel nurtured, loved & safe. ⁣
⁣
Every child deserves to feel safe ❤️. That's why as of today heykiddostudio will donate 5% of it's yearly profits to Barnardos, a children's charity that protects & supports the UK's most vulnerable children. Ever since I opened heykiddostudio's doors I have wanted to give to a children's charity so I'm so delighted to finally be in the position that I can do so. ✨ I have you to thank for that! 😍 ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🌈 Next week I will be re-releasing the heykiddostudio rainbow to raise funds for the NHS & 'Choose Love' who help refugees so watch out for that coming your way. 😍 🌈 ⁣⁣

Hey Kiddos, how has your day been today? What did

Hey Kiddos, how has your day been today? What did you get upto? ✨ There's lot happening here at the heykiddostudio headquarters! - I'm currently working on lots of orders & have a reworked rainbow to remake & release as soon as I can. ❤️ I also have a little pile of signs I'd like to sell tomorrow at a reduced price - there is nothing wrong with them, some of them are collection pieces that I made to take photos of & some of them are designs that I decided to tweak or that I didn't use in the final collection. I just don't like to hang on the them for too long! I can't decide whether to sell these on stories or to put them on the website & send an email out. It would be first come first serve. ✨ Is there any option you would prefer?? ❤️ On stories or website ? ❤️

Saying a big thank you to all postal workers ✨❤️ who have got my back, big time. Without them my small business would simply not be surviving right now. ⁣
⁣
I'm adding these labels to my packages to say thank you to each one & to let them know that it's not all 'tat'. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
They are providing a lifeline for so many small businesses out there & for that we are SO grateful. ✨❤️⁣
⁣⁣
I've added the labels to my website for any other small business who wants to download them to use on their own packages (for free of course). It would be so cool to have more of them out there so that postal workers can really see the difference they are making with each package. They are supporting small businesses & doing an amazing job under extreme pressure. It's a small thing, but I'm just hoping that maybe it makes someone's day a little tiny bit nicer. ⁣⁣

Above all else, kindness. ❤️ We are all trying to navigate this strange new world. ❤️✨🏠 We will make mistakes & we will have moments of anxiety, extreme sadness & moments of joy as we try to find light in dark days. Everyone's situation is different, we don't know what's happening in someone else's mind or home, but we ARE in this together. Don't forget to lend an ear to whoever may need one & try to leave judgement behind. ❤️

Dreamy ✨ thank you all SO much for every like, comment & order in the last few days (& ever/always 😍). I seriously appreciate each one more than ever. I'm going to post this then go straight back to work as I want to get as many orders as possible out in one post run tomorrow. ❤️ I hope you're all okay today, sending so much love 🥰 oh & 20% off is still available until 1st April, if you're looking for a sign don't forget to sign up for the code first 😍✨

INDOOR GAMES ❤️ What have you guys been doing

INDOOR GAMES ❤️ What have you guys been doing to occupy yourselves indoors these days?? ✨ Sharing this cool DIY pom pom ball run idea by @whirlybobble (created pre isolation days but fun all the same!) We've mostly been eating cantuccini biscuits we had from my birthday (3 giant bags down 0 to go😥) & generally making a mess. 😄

Good Morning 🌞❤️ I did NOT feel like smilin

Good Morning 🌞❤️ I did NOT feel like smiling yesterday! Is anyone else experience swings between positivity & gratitude & anxiety, uncertainty & panic? & I'm not even a Frontline worker. I honestly don't know how they (you) are doing it 👏👏👏. No matter who you are, it's a lot to take on suddenly & unexpectedly & it's okay to lose your shit a little now & then. Turns out you can feel all the things, you can lose your shit & be simultaneously grateful. You can be happy & sad all rolled into one & that's okay. ❤️⁣
⁣
This morning I've opened up my custom slots as promised. I'll be sending out an email shortly (just drinking my morning cuppa). You can still get the Mother's Day 20% off if you sign up to the list now & it works on customs too. ❤️ ⁣
⁣
- I hope your day is positive but if you feel more 💩 than ✨ that's okay too.

Normal service ✨Hey you guys ❤️. First of all I hope you're all okay & I send my love to anyone who is feeling distressed or unwell ❤️. I've had messages asking if I'm still taking orders & able to post. The sorting office is open & I can continue to post orders as usual. The only thing that will change is the frequency of my trips. So instead of going today I've decided to have a larger amount of packages go out tomorrow. Fortunately the sorting office is close to my home & there are no queues & no contact involved. I just drop my packages off & leave. Royal Mail/all postal workers are doing an amazing job keeping things going & keeping everyone as safe as they can. I feel like postal workers really need to be praised for their hard work at this time too. ❤️ My 20% mother's day code is still available to sign up for and is valid until the 1st April so sign up on my website if you're thinking of ordering. & Customs will reopen on Friday. 🥰 I really appreciate your support now more than ever, I was fully expecting orders to come to a halt but I am so grateful that that hasn't been the case as of yet ❤️! So thank you so much for supporting small. We really are in this together. ❤️✨

The custom order slots closed yesterday but I had made them smaller than usual to spread out orders, I'll reopen them on Friday ✨ All other signs are available to buy including these 3 ☝️ 🥰. ⁣
⁣
Thanks to everyone who has put an order in, you've no idea how much I appreciate it in these difficult times ❤️. If you want to support any small business but can't afford to, please like, comment, share or tag a friend in their posts. That is amazing support in itself ✨ We have to have each other's back in this.✨I'll be sharing some small business love in stories today ✨ Sending love you guys, I hope you're all finding ways to cope/not go absolutely mad 🤪 ❤️ Edit: I forgot to mention! I've reduced turnaround time to 10 working days. I'll be doing my best to stick to this & under ✨🥰

I want to say a big big thank you for all of the love I've received lately from other small businesses & small business supporters. So many of you have shared my page, posts & have been sharing other small businesses too. It's times like these that you really feel the love, and for that I'm so grateful. I want to share some too but would like to do it properly rather than just tagging - I've spent all of today trying to get orders out & I've still got a lot of work to do. My goal is to get them all out by Saturday morning. (High expectations, maybe Monday). So I've still got my head down working but I'll share lots of them as soon as I've come up for air 😄. We had a little break after the post run for a family walk on the beach which was lovely (they are pretty deserted at the moment). Have you guys found anywhere nice to stroll & get some fresh air, away from the crowds? ❤️❤️❤️ Photo of the rainbow-drop cloud that I finally got to make again 😍 & is on it's way home to someone as we speak!! 😍

🖤 Don't forget to look after your emotional wellbeing. It's really easy for anxiety & stress to creep up on you but it's okay to switch off, even for a moment or two. Stop scrolling, switch off the news & breathe. 🖤 #itsokaytorest. Sending love. ❤️

As I was making this 'sunshine' sign, (which I'll add to the site later 😍🌞) I thought it would be nice to come up with more happy words to help little ones feel positive at home. ❤️ So I'll be working on making more to add to the site as I make them! ❤️✨ ⁣

"Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping." Kindness will be the thing makes the difference. It will be what gets us through. ❤️ Kindness is what your kids will learn, you only have to lead by example, as they watch us through their shining eyes ✨

Let's try to make the most of this surreal time by slowing down. Let's find time for self care, exercise at home, read some books, play some music, get the craft box out, watch lots of films & just take the time to cuddle family & appreciate all of the nice things we have at home. I really hope you're not struggling & if you are & need to chat, please do send me a message. I know not all of us are lucky enough to have the luxury to relax. This time last year we would have been a lot more stressed about it all, although we have always been lucky to have amazing family support. How many of you have decided to stay in? 🖤 Have you thought on any nice ways to spend your days at home? 🖤⁣ would love more ideas 😍

hello 🖤. How is everyone today? How has the current coronavirus situation affected your life so far? I have followers from everywhere so would be interesting to know what it's like where you are? ⁣
⁣
Because I work from home I'm lucky that I don't need to stress too often. Although my hands are so dry now, I already wash them before I make any signs & if I touch anything in-between so now they are really feeling it with extra hand washes! ⁣
Apart from that nothing much has changed, we have stopped going to baby group for a while & are venturing outdoors more instead, trying to think on something to do tomorrow (taking a family day) but not sure what yet!! ☔

A playroom should be filled with magic. A place for your little ones to feel safe & imagine anything is possible. ✨ ⁣

Is your kiddos' room filled with things that inspire them?⁣

Anthracite 🖤 Limited Edition. This colour is amazing & totally makes all the other colours pop even more. 😍 It is limited edition but I bought such a big batch that it's lasting longer than I thought it would - & I'm so happy because LOOK AT IT. 🖤

Look after each other. ❤️ I saw a post on Facebook yesterday about some girls in Italy who wrote a note in their building to say that they would get shopping for their elderly neighbours so that they weren't at risk of getting the coronavirus & I thought it was so lovely. That's exactly the kind of mindset we need. We need to make sure we look after the elderly & vulnerable ❤️. It must be such a scary time for some

"To those accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like oppression" ⁣
I remember when the word "feminism" started to circulate more. (Recently right?) Some people would cringe at it as if it was 'hippy' or OTT. I hope now people realise that it's just about equality. & Those that say things like "but what about Men?" realise that they are missing the point & are probably coming from a place of privilege where they don't see or feel the struggle of others.⁣
⁣If you believe in equality then of course you're a feminist. ❤️
