Where have I been? It’s a long one..

Well, even though my account suggests otherwise, I’m still very much here! I think the last year and a bit has been a pretty big struggle for most.

Personally, with a family bereavement, becoming a parent for the first time, starting a new job, and then dealing with the baby’s undiagnosed allergies/eczema during a pandemic and an underfunded healthcare system has been A LOT!

Social media has not been a priority for me and, unfortunately small businesses rely heavily on this to succeed. I’m tired, very tired and don’t have time to think creatively on how to sell my products, let alone to be proactive in the sewing room. But, I’m not going to beat myself up over it, I’m doing my best and my focus is on my family right now.

When things calm down, I’ll spend more time on my little biz. I am still open though and available for orders 🙂

Also, if one more person says “it’s just eczema” I will lose my s**t. Watching a child cry and scratch until they bleed, knowing you can’t soothe them is not “just” anything 🙃

On a lighter note, here are some wedding ties I had the pleasure of making for an old friend ♥️

Mary’s back! And look how glamorous she is! I had some fabric left from the commissioned turban and Mary asked for something to complement her lovely locks - et voilà!

I’ve added some more turbans to the shop in the new style! (I’m happy to make them up on the old style if you ask 🙂)
I think this is some of my favourite fabric, I’ve put some aside to make some teeny trousers and overalls 💜

NEW PRODUCT ALERT!
So I’ve got double whammy news, after a slightly longer than anticipated Christmas break I’ve finally decided to open the shop tomorrow! As a pre-opening gift I thought I would introduce the new Frida range of scrunchie headbands! There will be seven different styles on offer tomorrow - all using upcycled materials - with the aim of making more if they’re popular 🙂 this one is made from an old duvet cover, lemme know what you think!

Turban completed, with a removable bow, so the customer can choose how to wear it :) now I can’t decide whether I prefer this style or the big bow style (see last pic), which do you like more?

Holy cats I am in loooove with this fabric choice by a customer, how beautiful does it look? I just need to add a bow and it’s ready to go, although I quite like it as is - what do you think?

This one was sent off with the previous headband! My shop is still closed for Christmas(!) but I’m hoping to reopen soon once I’ve added a couple more listings. I’m trying to figure out managing the shop with a little one and being back at work now, but I’m determined to make it work 💪
