I'm back

Hey All,

It's been sooooo long since I posted anything! For anyone still following me thank you so much!!

I needed to take some time out to really work out what direction I wanted things to take concerning this blog amongst other things. If you have been following me, you will know that I had started to think about perhaps changing the contents of my posts here. 

I will be continuing this blog, but to make it worthy of anyone following, I will not only be posting more often but the contents will be much more better thus hopefully ensuring a better read for you. 

I think my renewed enthusiasm for blogging is really due to being chosen to be in the first ever UK Etsy advert. We all had an amazing day filming but I think what made it so great was meeting all hanging out with the other super talented and creative Etsy sellers that were also chosen. 

Details on when it will be aired to follow. 

In the meantime, here is the contents of the goody bag we were given, minus the sweet treats which were long gone!

Have a great day. X

Not an apology.....an update

Wow, it's been a long time - well over a year since my last post on here!

I won't apologise again - I've done that too many times but I will say that I am now ready to blog again - and yes, I know I've said that before too! However, this time I really do think I will stick to making regular posts.

What's changed? Well firstly my little one is now almost 2 years old! Oh yes, time flies...he is really doing well. We have a great 'routine' now and I am more settled in my role as first time mum.

Workwise, since I was made redundant and then getting pregnant almost immediately after, you know I have been working from home. This continued up until I had my son. I then took some time out and I am now back to freelance designing and sewing wedding dresses, bridesmaids, flower girl and evening dresses.

I still have my Etsy shop and I have also been working on making items so my shop is nice and full for the coming holiday season. In fact I have decided to dedicate one day a week - namely Wednesdays (because my son isn't at playgroup that day), to work on my Etsy shop. It has unfortunately been neglected for such a long time , even I'm surprised I have managed to get some sales despite this!
I hope to post new item previews on here as I make them - much like I was doing before but on a more regular basis.

That's all for now, stay blessed and have a great evening! X

I'm back!!!

Hi there!!!

I finally feel like blogging again after so long.
Motherhood is great, i'm enjoying every bit of it!! It is everything I expected and so much more!!!

I think I mentioned before that I was thinking of changing the blog content a bit. I have decided to go ahead and incorporate some new ideas in it to see if it works. I will still be posting about the things I am working on, but hopefully, with the additional content, it will make for a better reading blog for you all.

Thanks for staying with me despite my lack of posting.

Have a great day!! Xxx

Baby Update

Hi there!!!
My baby boy decided he didn't want to wait until the beginning of December and made his appearance 10 days early at the end of November.
We are both doing really well...I knew being a mum would be hard but it is definitely harder than I thought it would be. The days just seem to whizz by.

Workwise, I am on maternity leave now and will be probably until August. I will try to blog more often but to be honest, I am thinking about changing the blog to include a more fashion element, we will see.

Until next time, stay blessed. xx

6 months Update

Well it's been around 6 months that I last posted anything and so much has happened!!!

On a personal level, I am pleased to announce that I am currently 30 weeks pregnant! It's our first and we are very excited! The baby is due the begining of December.

Workwise, I have been working freelance from home designing and sewing, I have made some wedding outfits, which I will post soon and am currently working on a wedding dress for November.

Working from home has been a blessing. I found the first trimester of pregnancy challenging as I was constantly tired and was nauseous. This settled in the second trimester and now I'm in my third, the tiredness has crept up a little again, but thankfully all tests and scans show the baby is doing really well.

I do intend to continue this blog, althought to be honest, alot will depend on how I get on in my new role of being a mum.

Alannah - Freelance Sewing

I just wanted to share with you some of the items I have been sewing for a new London based up and coming designer label called Alannah. I sewed all these garments for her recent photoshoot.
Let me know what you think? (Sorry about the somewhat blurred images, I am still waiting for the actual look book and was sent these low -res images in the meantime, also, my scanner seemed to cut off the right hand side a bit!).



Have a great evening X

Dior Dismisses Galliano!!

After my last post about the alleged anti semetic remarks made by John Galliano, I was sent a video clip by a friend which was recorded in a Paris cafe. In it John Galliano makes some really disturbing comments to the people he is having a "conversation" with.
In light of this and the most recent incident, Dior has dismissed him.

In a statement, the Paris fashion house said: “In light of the deeply offensive statements and conduct by John Galliano in a video made public yesterday, Christian Dior has commenced termination proceedings against him.” Mr. Galliano joined the house in 1996.
Chief executive Sidney Toledano said in the statement: “We unequivocally condemn the statements made by John Galliano, which are a total contradiction to the longstanding core values of Christian Dior.”
