INSTAGRAM ROUND UP

So, as you can see I've been  making the most of mine and Mike's free time before bubba arrives, with the odd lazy Saturday breakfast bagels, Moroccan dinners, days out to cool places like Hyper Japan. I'm also trying to clearout as much as possible and buy lots of cute girly things before I move out of my gorsh-forsaken bedsit into a proper place where I can have my own privacy without conflict with other tenants as well as having lots more space!

I'm now on Maternity Leave too, and I was soooo happy to leave my job and have a well-deserved break... all work and no play makes Ify a dull girlie- I haven't had a proper break in over 2 years and it was good timing for me to leave and just work on bettering myself emotionally and focus on what's actually important in life, which will hopefully mean a nice holiday away.

New Updates, via Instagram.

Hi lovely people!

I'm so sorry that I have been neglectful lately... I have been enormously stressed and under a lot of pressure with the last few weeks of Uni, with my last ever project. I know I've promised I'll write more blog posts, but sometimes... when push gets to shove, you have to prioritize.

Here's what I've been doing, in random order:



- Making new jewellery! So excited to be making jewellery again after my 2-week absence away from my tools. I think I'm getting more and more quirky with my pieces. I'm doing this especially, because me and my awesome friend, Saxon are selling together again- but this time, in Camden! I've sold there with another friend but they didn't sell that well, because I guess I just rushed everything, so I've done things properly and started stocking up on more jewellery pieces, or things that I could transform into jewellery, which is why I haven't stocked up on any clothes lately, but rest assured lovely people, I have made some new clothes and they will be in the shop by next week ;)



- Sewing away in my creative cave. I have been making new bags that are made from a mixture of recycled fabrics and fake suede to make some new bags for the shop. I'll be making more when time allows.


- This is what I do at Uni! I specialise in woven textiles, and for my project, it was based on the inspiration of fish in the aquarium from the Horniman Museum, London... and I'm currently weaving my final pieces- it is NOT easy, it's full of tangles and messes and thread breakages. I think I've put on a dress size cos of my overeating from the stress of this course, haha (I know, excuses, excuses, right!?)




- I cut my hair! It wasn't anything dramatic, but I was doing my monthly relaxer treatment on my hair, and when I was blow drying my hair, I noticed that my hair fell out in the middle section... and I was kinda upset, but then I thought... it's only hair! It WILL grow again! And so, I grabbed a pair of scissors and hacked at it. I'm a little crazy for doing this, but I can still just about tie my hair, and I can wear my hair down too now, so I'm a happy girl!

Enough rambling from me, but I hope everyone has an  awesome weekend... and if by any chance anyone is in Camden in London around 26th May, come and find myself and my friend selling our jewellery... and maybe you can snap up a piece before I sell any leftovers at my shop?

Lots of love,

Katherine xo
