Hi
Business update for you !
Last May I moved my studio home and decided to take some well deserved time out.
In May 2023 I was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphatic Leukaemia. While I am ok at the moment and need no treatment I will have this for the rest of my life.
It’s all been a bit of a shock and taken time to recalibrate . It’s been pretty heartbreaking letting my studio go and to say I’ve felt lost would be an understatement.
So it’s a new phase one where I will be creating art , focusing on my health and making the odd exceptional piece (because I’ve got a loft full of beautiful fabric to use)
A little less hussle from now on . However I do have an entire exhibition worth of ideas and once I’m over my funk I hope to create some magic again.
I’d like to say a very heartfelt thank you to every one of my customers and those that have shown me support over the years . You have no idea how much you’ve meant to me.
Thank you X Big Love ❤️

Well Hello ! Long time no post .
I deactivated my account back in June and took a break from all things Bridal .
I’ve been keeping busy doing some pastel paintings in my home studio. Improving with every picture, taking inspiration from my daily dog walks.
Big Love X

The magnolia tree is in bloom and the daffodils line the road to the studio, such a happy joyful entrance. Here’s to the bright and sunny days of spring.

This stunning bottle green silk looks super on illuminating on the skin . This picture was taking before the first fitting. With a few minor changes, tiny stitches and a zip this beauty was ready to fly the nest. The detachable side detail adds sass and the option of simplicity.
