From May Worldwide Delivery is coming back along with a new product range.

Now mail services around the world seem to have settled back down, I will be brining back the option to purchase and or have your goods delivered worldwide. if you purchase more than one time, the system will only charge postage on the one item with the highest postage cost.

I’m also brining in an option to pay postage on UK items, these are currently post free, but as we all know that means the postage is built into the price. This is not fair on folks who want to order more than one item.

All post will still be via Tracked Royal Mail

New Product Range Coming Soon ….

Having ethically sources some amazing stock of relatively small pieces of off cut fabrics, laces and decorations, I’ve begun to develop a new product range. These will include surface tidy bags, in several sizes and plant pot covers. These will also be a special range of Bride and Wedding Day tidies, as many brides now get ready at the venue with their bridesmaids and other special ladies attending the event, the tidies will ensure you all have everything in the right place when you need it to help keep the calm atmosphere at this and memorable event.

Many thanks for viewing my update and I look forward to seeing you on Instagram.

Wow March is here already and nearly spring !

It’s been a busy few month here at Dizzy Tyke Designs, with yoga studios updating their kit for my firm bolster cushions and washable covers. Also, lots of folk thinking positivity towards spring when they can get out and about, so are spending time revisiting the decor or the camper vans, caravans, holiday cottages and 4×4’s.

The use of bolsters in yoga really seems to be taking off. they can be soft of offer a little support and comfort or like this order nice and firm to give maximum support and benefit from moves.

The removable covers on studio bolsters offer the ability to keep things clean and hygienic.

After a busy run up to Christmas and catching up on the custom and personalised design orders. Then I took a couple of weeks out to visit a friend, taking in the vibrant city of Seattle then a drive over to Montana for some skiing at Snowbowl and winter walking in Rattlesnake Canyon and around Como Lake in the Bitterroot Valley.

The art work and olympic sculpture park round Seattle is very inspiring for designs, so expect to see some new product lines from Dizzy Tyke Designs later in the spring.

Lastly an outing to CHSI at NEC Birmingham, a day out with the Etsy Worcestershire team. Great place for new ideas and catching up with other Etsy Sellers.

I’m now back fully refreshed and ready for a busy spring. Here some ideas of my recent work….

  • Custom Cushions
  • Twiddle Rugs
  • Colour Choices

This recent order shows how you can request custom detail to suit our needs. not only did the customer want a certain model of 4×4, the dog was family member that needed including. With the vehicle currently away for refurb and we managed to source some of the new upholstery fabric to include an accent strip down the front. Lastly an upgrade the the cushion backs so they were in the same fabric as the front.

Please get in touch with your design request and we can discuss options.

Finding a thoughtful and personalised gift for someone who has developed dementia can be difficult.

An alternative to the Twiddle Muff, Twiddle Rugs are individually designed. Items to touch move are incorporated with different textured fabrics. All designed a personal themes that can help trigger memories. This design was for a motor enthusiast , with a love of engineering and gardening.

The finished rugs are approx 18″x18″.

Lunch out at a local interior designs showroom, has meant I’ve sourced some terrific sample fabric books. So if you want that Bike or Vehicle in a specific colour drop me a line. I’m sure we can find something to match.

As usual all the designs are individual, mainly due to my aim to up-cycle and repurpose fabrics. This focus means I don’t just buy materials off the role but purchase excess stock and end of roles, ensuring the most ethical use of materials, whilst keeping my cost at the best possible prices to pass on to my customers.

Many thanks for viewing my update and I look forward to seeing you on Instagram.
