I was informed by the mini human that it’s too early to mention the ‘C’ word (ironic given she had her letter to Santa written in August 😂). However, given the other ‘C’ word (coronavirus) is causing delays, I thought I’d show you a little project I’ve been working on - make-your-own Christmas cards!
🎄
The perfect little project to keep small people entertained, each kit comes with two blank cards, two Christmas trees, red pots, tinsel, diamanté ‘baubles’ and of course a star for the top! (A silver and gold star is included so you can choose your colour)
🎄
Available in my @etsyuk shop or my blog (link in bio). Beat the rush and get making now
🎅🏽🤶🏼

This is the first year I’m really pushing my makes and (hopefully) getting my business up and running. It’s taken be a long while to be able to devote myself full-time to what I love doing - making!
😊
I’ve got a wide range of beautiful, handmade cards and gifts available in my shop (and my Etsy store), some ready-to-post while others can be ordered for a totally personalised gift.
🐶
And there’s the thing - hand making items takes time. For example, one of the larger dolls takes a minimum of 8-10hours to make, while the lino-print cards take at least 15mins (plus drying time). It might not sound like much but it all adds up. A set of cards might take an entire afternoon to make.
🤖
There’s also delays in postage time thanks to coronavirus. I recently sent something to Australia. Pre-pandemic an air mail parcel would take about 2-3weeks, but now it’s taking around 6-8weeks. Items sent first class here in the UK are taking 3-4days in some cases. You have to feel sorry for an already over-whelmed post office with the prospect of a lot of extra Christmas parcels looming.
📦
So how can you help? Jeff Besos doesn’t need any more of your money but so many of us small businesses are struggling and need your support. Each item we make at #beaglehq is made with care and love. Each sale elicits a happy dance (no I’m not showing you). You are literally helping me pay our mortgage.
🏠
Please consider shopping small this Christmas (and frankly all year. A small business is for life, not just for Christmas). There are links to my shop in my bio and I’m currently accepting commissions so feel free to contact me. Hopefully we can all have a very merry Christmas
🎄

Note to self, don’t buy the cheap chalkboards as the black paint sticks to your transfer tape
🙄
Anyway, very pleased with how my ‘Days till’ board featuring my favourite Disney castle turned out.
🏰
I love the level of detail the #cricut can cut to and obviously anything Disney is a winner in #beaglehq
🐶🏰
Now to start our countdown (possibly just until 2020 ends!)

Over on the blog it’s Part 2 of planning your trip to @disneylandparis So many happy memories of our time there before Covid-19 turned the world upside down.
🏰
I planned our time a little more during our last trip so we focussed on a specific ‘land’ each day. It minimised the amount little legs needed to walk and we got to see some of the smaller attractions we’d normally walk past.
👸🏼
We even dipped our toes into cosplaying, which earned us a wink from Flynn Rider!

Grey day outside calls for a bit of glitter!
👯‍♀️
Treated myself to some new washi tapes today - perfect for the not-so-secret project you can see dancing behind!
👯‍♂️
Have a lovely weekend and hopefully they’ll be lots of new stuff from me next week! (Aka I’m battling WordPress)

Saw a couple of lovely bees out yesterday, doing their thing in the chilly autumn air.
🐝
This set of gorgeous cards will be available in the shop later today. The set include 5 cards, hand printed and lettered by me. The finishing touch is a bottom fluffier than the pups!
🐝
Assorted messages on the front mean you’re covered for all celebrations! Or you could frame them for some fuzzy art. Happy buzzing!

Now it’s been gifted, I can show you the special commission I made for a Star Wars fan.
✨
A hand painted and lettered card showing the two suns of Tattooine with a Rey appliqué (I love how she turned out so will be making one for me too!).
✨
I’d love to design another Star Wars card with aurebesh!
✨
And of course a Child key ring. I’ll do a post later about how patterns evolve and show the difference between my first attempt and what my baby Yoda looks like now but in the meantime, he’s so cute, I just want to squish those cheeks!
✨
I’m available for commissions so send me a DM or use the Contact Me form on my blog (link in bio). Can’t wait to see what you challenge me to make next!

Printed myself a t-shirt! Take me back to my happy place!
🏰
Experimenting lots with my @officialcricut #cricutmaker and really impressed with how well my t-shirt turned out. Using the #cricuteasypress the vinyl stuck evening and quickly, with no peeling edges.
🏰
You all know I love Disney so obviously my first make has to be Disney-themed and I can’t wait to wear this on our next trip.
🏰
Sleeping Beauty’s castle in DLP is my favourite castle but Cinderella’s castle looked a little bit better when I cut them out. Who knows, perhaps when they fully reopen the other parks (and we win the lottery!) we’ll visit them all and I can make a proper decision 🤣
🏰
What should my next make be? And which Disney castle is your favourite?

Sigh. I miss the days before coronavirus when I could sit around with good friends and enjoy a chat over a cup of tea. Until then, FaceTime catch-ups it is!
☕️🍪
Stay safe everyone. Wear a mask outside, wash your hands and lots of virtual hugs.

Hope you had a sweet smelling #soaptember. I bought some new soaps from @soapdazedevon and will be ordering Christmas gifts from @cornerstonecraftsnmkt
Now you’re all set up with your new bars of soap, don’t forget to invest in a soap saver to store all your soap ends. That way you get to use 100% of your bar!
I’ve designed a soap saver bag (see photos. The one in my shop is a new design better for scrubbing) which we’ve been using here at #BeagleHQ for nearly 2yrs.
Simple to use: pop in bits of soap, pull the string to close it then get it wet and lather up. Made from cotton there’s no nasty micro plastics going down the drain and no plastic sponges going into the bin. To keep it clean, just turn it inside out, remove larger pieces of soap and pop in your normal wash. Air dry and you’re ready to go again!
If you’ve switched to soap bars, consider investing in a soap saver. Info on my beautiful new-look blog. Link in bio
☺️

Wondering which of my fellow Clark Hellery’s will ‘borrow’ by personalised notebook/scrapbook/ideas book first?
🤔
I’ve been having a LOT of fun with my new #cricut machine and have so many ideas for new things to make. I’ll be showing some of what I’ve been up to over the next few days.
🥰
If you’d like a personalised notebook, T-shirt or card, please get in touch!

Discovered a new way to enjoy our favourite place this morning. Massive thanks to @haldonridingstables for taking us on such a fun trek - amazing staff and lovely chilled ponies (I was on Ruby who had the most beautiful markings). We’ll definitely be booking again!

Mini Spider Gwen has swung in for some birthday celebrations!
🕷
Lots of fun making this mini hero - she’s only about 10cm tall! Have a feeling I’ll be making her some friends soon.
