The Handmade Nursery Company

Well HELLO 👋🏼 again!
I’ve not posted in the longest time because I’ve majorly fallen out of love.

With Insta, not my husband 😂.

Well, that’s not strictly true, I love my personal IG, but with the reduced views, algorithms and all that nonsense, spending time over here was becoming harder work than parenting 😂.

But I’m still around, I’m still sanding and painting and packing and posting 📦. Life is super busy in the background and I’ve taken a step back from some marketplaces which weren’t working for me, and have been focusing on my own website and Etsy.

I have something new and exciting coming up soon and once it’s off the ground I will share with you.

For now, enjoy your Sunday my little pumpkins ☕️. Xx

World Book Day 2022 and this little pumpkin would only settle for Julia Donaldson’s Stick Man 😆. I can’t even deal with the cuteness of an oversized costume! He’s fully aware that as I had to buy a costume, he needs to wear it to every party, non-uniform day and wedding that we go to for the next 5 years so we can get our moneys worth 😉.

What are your little darlings going as today?!

Happy World Book Day!!

Is it over yet? 😳😳

Just off to make a tit of myself on BBC Radio 5 Live talking about it. Tune in at 6.55am if you need any extra s**t going on this morning. Although, blink and you’ll miss me…

These are just a bit cute, aren’t they?! This is one of my favourite bits actually 😂. I’ve always loved calligraphy, typography and all things fancy pants 💕, so I love adding these final touches to packages.

Good news! You can now find my blocks on ’s website 🥰 along with many other gorgeous baby and children’s items, from sellers like .

What are you waiting for? 😘

It’s not just all blocks, blocks, blocks over here you know. You can get your 30cm wall letters too! These babies are 6mm thick and come with little stickies to attach them to the wall.

Single letter or full name?

It’s time to say goodbye!

No, not me 😉. To these babies. I love them and I have loved them but they are hugely time consuming and just not financially viable for me, so in the next week they are going to be removed from my Etsy, Amazon and Baby Chum stores, as well as my website. So, if they’ve been on the cards for you, now is the time to grab them before they’re gone forever!

I will likely create a new design of milestone blocks as they’re super popular with mums, so watch this space!

Well! I’ll start with a HAPPY NEW YEAR 🥳 you sexy mofos 😂. Covid kicked our Christmas plans right up the Rodney hole & our new year followed suit! Although, if I’m honest, we’re that rock and roll, we would still have got a Chinese and fallen asleep at 10pm even if the plague wasn’t kicking about our abode.

So far I have managed to evade my little human’s germs, which is no small feat given he lives inside my eyeball 101% of the time.

Almost everyone I know seems to have tested positive this Christmas, so if you’ve also managed to remain bug free then let me know and you’ll win a *prize.

I have barely posted on my socials for such a long time now, for a few reasons. Life is bizzzzay, I have a full time job, full time child 😆 and also, because the algorithm sucks ass. My reach has decreased wildly and it’s basically like shouting into the abyss in a blizzard whilst only wearing your pants. No fun.

So, I’ll try to be better and I’ll try post more. But I can’t promise anything! So, keep your orders coming in and I’ll keep getting them out on time and we’ll say no more 😉.

Tell me how your Christmas and new year was!

*There is no prize. Soz. 😘

Who’s tracking Santa tonight?!

Official NORAD Santa Tracker Follow Santa Claus as he makes his magical journey around the world!

A lovely lady who I have known for a few years contacted me asking if I could create a name block set for her granddaughter who was born 4 weeks early last week. It’s such a worrying time having a new baby, let alone a premature baby and add to that the additional stresses that Christmas brings, it must be truly overwhelming.

I hope Lily’s mummy and daddy love her blocks and I hope that whatever you’re going through right now, you find some peace and happiness over the festive period ✨.

My small human woke at 5.21am, yes FIVE TWENTY ONE IN THE AM. But opening my phone to this really perked me up!
Please can I ask you all to always review your small business online purchases, because you really don’t know the amazing impact it has!
