Calling all Animal Lovers!

Hey guys,

I'm just showing some support for my friend Rhian's fundraising she's doing to try and bring her lovely dog with her when she returns to Australia in December this year. I would love for this to happen, so if anyone out there could please donate as much as you can! :)

I have donated and also plan to give a small portion of my sales and a small portion of my wages towards this. I already donate to charities and fundraisers already but I love helping people as much as possible, especially people that I know and love.

If you would like to help, have a look here.

Lots of love xoxo

Fathers Day and Shop Facelift!

   

 

So, lately I've been hiding my hair a lot because of that ghastly regrowth I've been suffering with recently, I hadn't treated my hair kindly enough so it's kinda just gone pretty dry and untameable... that's what happens when you don't bother to moitsurise the hair!

I also went to the home to see the family for fathers day- I always go home on a sunday since I moved out, just to see how they are and catch up on lost time, but it was especially good to see my dad's smile when he saw me walk through the door :), even if I did sleep for most of the day.

Handmade by Ify has also been going through a facelift... starting with a new logo! I love this one because it actually represents myself and my style, as well as the kind of egdy look that I want to give to the shop... many exciting times to come!

Latest shenanigans: New clothing, accessories and team members!

     



      

I have finally been customising clothing again! :) I have missed sewing and stuff, so I have been chucking studs on EVERYTHING, haha! I also treated myself to an iPad, which I am totally excited about, because that means I can keep you guys updated more on the latest news! I have literally been playing about with my iPad since I bought it- best purchase ever, me thinks! Also, I have finally got myself a new team member for Handmade by Ify!

 My friend Gina from work does PR at Uni and wanted to help out with running the business, which obviously would benefit both of us, because I have no time for blogging or social media, so it would be great to have an extra pair of hands! My other friend Rachael is also helping out, which is awesomeeee. I can't believe I have such good people in my life who actually wants my business to boost as much as I do- I feel so lucky! :)

   

   

I'm introducing collar clips to the shop! They are soooo cute and uber quirky! I recycled them from old buttons and made them into the most awesome accessory to have. They jazz up any shirt and makes an outfit more exciting, whether it is day or night wear.

    
   

I have also been creating textiles jewellery again! I was inspired by the festival themed display at Topshop in Westfield in Shepherd's Bush and thought, "it's time to make some amazing jewellery again and use up all my yarn!" I hope to create more in a few weeks too, and will be doing so all summer long in a variety of colours! They are all hand-dyed by myself and made from cotton yarn, so it's nice and durable too!
