a look back at 2013- a year of awesome things!

 

 

what a year! so the first day of the new year I woke up with an inkling that something was different, a few hours later a little blue line told me I was having a baby! and so 40weeks went by and then 10 more really long days!, and finally my little boy turned up, he is so different to his brother, in looks, temperament and personality, he has made our family complete and I cant remember him not being here. It was also a mega birthday year with most of my favourite people turning 30!, mine past by in a haze of sleep deprivation, baby gurgling and unbelievable joy as my best friend and partner proposed on the morning of my 30th.

Me&My has also had a huge year, working with some great stockists, meeting some inspirational designers and proving to me that hard graft sometimes takes a while to pay off!

Christmas has be awesome,I got some really cool presents, like my Mister Peebles 'David Meowie' print, I got another one called 'keeping it reel', I had a close encounter with a friendly goose and I made A LOT of homemade gifts! in the process I ate my body weight in truffles, shortbread and mince pies, and glugged my way through a small draft of sloe gin... I know not every year can be this great, but for now I am enjoying and appreciating what a lucky life I lead.

I hope your year was just as good as mine, heres to more of the same in 2014!

 

Bring on Spring!

its been nearly a month since I last sat down to write on this blog....
its simply been a crazy crazy month, family illness taking centre stage, many trips back and forth to London to see sick family member (who is getting better) house purchase falling through because the house turned out to need MAJOR renovation, so back to looking for a new house to buy, and the fact that at 4 months pregnant I'm feeling rough!work has definitely taken a back seat, I have been sewing little things, mostly to keep me busy and because I can zone out and just enjoy a simple task. but I cant help but stare at the pile of beautiful fabric, half finished t-shirts and patterns strewn around my studio and think I must just jump straight back in.....and I might just do that.

 

I did however find time to make this little fleece rabbit, took all of an hour, but it is my sons new favorite toy, expect to see many more of these, as I have many friends with babies, and many metres of fleece!

New Tee's!

 

Well yesterday was busy! whipped up 3 new designs, what do you think? all just needing to be stitched, available in ages 2-8years,£12 plus P&P, will be on Etsy soon at MeMyUk

 

New Stuff

its a bit late, but HAPPY 2013, its been a busy first 9 days to the new year, with family visits, attending a baby shower, getting the little man ready for nursery,replenishing stock, and seeing the new lines emerge from under a stack of fabric! in the next few days, all 2012 stock will be put on to the Etsy shop MeMyUk, and will be 20% off, making way for the new collection. 12 unique designs for girls and boys! here is a sneak peek of whats being stitched up at the moment......

2013

its been an eventful few months at Me&My, a year ago we didn't even exist! and now plans are being made, designs created and a whole new year to plan for, its been at times very hard to stay motivated, the UK is in a recession, no one has any money, and starting a business seemed like the most ridiculous idea to even attempt, yet, it keeps moving forward, more orders keep being taken, more stockists added and more joy given in all the little processes and challenges that make up running a business. Exciting times ahead. branching out from just T-shirts and accessories into skirts, trousers and fabric lines, packages of Me&My clothing have been sent to as far as China, the US and Germany, and each and every customer has been valued and appreciated. so see you all in 2013! and THANKYOU for all the amazing support.
