So, it's been a few months since my last post. A few months full of exciting new things! To mention but a few...I've moved into a beautiful little house with two friends, bought a dog, and had the honour of making my friend's wedding dress. My heart is brimming with joy. It's amazing the joy God gives when you open yourself up to what He wants to do with you. Which brings me to what's next...
Along the lines of my previous post a few months ago, I've been developing a range of accessories to sell online and hopefully in some local retailers. It's been a challenging journey. I found my confidence quite shot to begin with, and I was nervous to start something completely alone. FEAT sock co. (the sock business I started with my friend Alison) is doing so well, but having a partner makes the risk-taking feel less risky (if that makes sense). And then, I found myself attempting to plunge into something all alone. But then I realised I'm not alone at all. I have felt this has been God-ordained right from conception to what will eventually be completion. The concept of honest & loyal product goes far deeper than just design, where God has breathed all over my experiences and hurts and triumphs and shown me that He has me exactly where He wants me - ready to use design to express what is on His heart about the way He wants us to treat each other and His majestic creation.
Last week, I took a deep breath and started a Facebook page for 'No. Don't Go.' I don't know why I was so afraid to start one to begin with. Within the space of 24 hours, I was receiving encouraging words from friends and friends-of-friends loving the product and telling me how excited they are about the concept. I also did some cleaning up on the website and now all there is to do is take some slightly more 'profesh' pics of the product and launch it onto the store front, ready for sales! Below are screenshots of the Facebook page and online store (followed by a cute pic of my new best friend, Teddie and my stunning friend Emily in the wedding dress I made for her).
More details about the store to come.
