About Us

If you'd asked me what I would be doing in 2020 to try and keep a roof over my head, the answer would never have been sewing. 

Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy creating things. As early as I can remember, I was always drawing, crafting, and making things for gifts and to sell at markets. Mostly as a hobby and just for fun. You could call it my way to relax and unwind after a long day at the office. But sewing was more of a chore, like ironing. Now it's my passion.

HOW IT BEGAN

Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought "What the...", then just wanted to cry?

That was most days in 2020 for me. With no job anymore, bills rolling in, rent due yet again, it was grim. I had also taken to just throwing on any old loose, comfy clothes, and the older the better right? I mean, I'm not going anywhere, and who's going to see me in lockdown?

I was even rocking the uggies and bad hair look, because I hadn't seen my hairdresser in months (Miss you Rae xx)

But if that wasn't bad enough, my day just got worse, it was my birthday, and all I saw when I looked in the mirror was lots of regrowth and (GASP) greys.

Going grey is not a bad thing; it's natural; it's even something to celebrate. I know this logically. In fact, I have known that I had a few grey hairs since I was 23 (a few years ago now), when my hairdresser 'at the time' kindly pointed them out. But even knowing that, the reality of seeing dozens of them starting to thread through the regrowth (like veins sucking the youth right out of me) well, let's just say I'm not ready to embrace the whole aging process quite yet.

But good on all the Hunni's and Hero's that do, I genuinely salute you!

In any case, all I wanted was a good cry, a big hug, and feeling better about myself. Something I believe we all need sometimes.

So I did the only thing I could; I re-showered, re-dressed, put on some makeup (for the first time in months), and boy, didn't that feel fantastic, and re-joined my mother and sister at the kitchen table for some girl time. And hugs x

 That "WHAT THE...?" moment

MEET THE KITCHEN CREW

Grama Grumbles - The Original Sugar Cube and Hunni Mummy.

An earth mother extraordinaire, able to raise three unruly rascals without turning a hair. A hug is her currency, and she is always there, encouraging us to follow our dreams. Her smile touches our hearts, and her love of bright, cheerful colours never fails to brighten any dull day.

Her words of wisdom are simple:
"If you look good, you feel good."
"Be Kind." 
"Hunni, you need a hug!"

Nurse Neicey - The Headband Hunni Hero

Boho babe, creative co-conspirator, supportive sister, and headband hoarder. No matter where she is or what she's doing, one thing is for sure, she's our tireless caretaker, our inspiring superstar, and our unsung hero. She reminds us not to sweat the small stuff, to look for new ways of affecting positive change in our lives and the lives of others. And to live a life of love, laughter, and sometimes just a little bit of lunacy!

Her motto:
"Be you; you're fabulous."
"Share the weird, the wacky, and the wonderful."
"When life gives you lemons, make limoncello."

Possum Blossom (Possie for short) - That's Me aka Bernie

The Once Upon a Time Corporate Shaker and now the Hunni Homemaker.
 

AND SO IT GOES

The Kiss…

I got some hugs and a small dose of coffee, tea, and sympathy. We cracked a cake, and I drowned my sorrows. 

The Kick…

Then came the reality check I knew I'd get. The reminder that life is what you make it.
"It's a sign. You're a big girl now, welcome to the club, now pull up those big girl britches and get back on the broom."

In other words; be positive, be proactive, and do something about it.

The Creation…

There we sat, sharing the trials and tribulations of bad hair days, headband headaches, and bustling, busy lives, sharing our thoughts and ideas. Just talking the girlie talk, having a laugh, eating our cake (as you do), and celebrating our differences.

It was here, at this moment, that HugaHunni was born.

Welcome to our store, come and celebrate with us.

Hugs
Possie xx

Have Fun, Look Good, Be Fabulous.
