Teeny Beanies

  Telford

I'm mum to a very beautiful and demanding little girl. I was always creative and loved sewing. I went to Art College then to University and studied Textile Design. I've worked for many creative businesses but didn't have the courage to start my own until 2007. I started Teeny Beanies back in 2007 and created a range of 6 animal character bean bags which I took to a local craft market and they sold really well. This inspired me to continue making and selling bean bags at local craft fairs. We don't attend craft fairs anymore as we have a huge online presence now. Years on and we have won awards and expanded the range to include lots of different made-to-order personalised products for babies and children. You can choose from Bean Bags, Cushions, Nursery Bags, Toys and Hotties. We have Personalised Bunting and Bunny Hamper which include; a Blanket, Bunting, Taggy and Sleepsuit. Christening or New Baby presents all which can be gift wrapped and sent direct with a message. We pride ourselves on creating a quality UK made product where we use UK suppliers and employ local sewers to create them.

Mama Tip

It's never easy being a busy mum and running a business, many a night I have put my little one to bed and carried on working as this is the only chance I had to get the work done! I am lucky to have a very supportive family who help with childcare.
Try and have a separate workspace so you can shut the door on it and make sure you keep your work separate to the quality time you spend with your child. Try and stick to set hours of work if you can. I don't work weekends (except at Christmas which is our busiest time)and I make sure that the office door stays locked and shut so my daughter knows that mummy is all hers at weekends. If I do have to work then I try to get her involved, she helps pack the orders with me and we take them to the Post Office together.
