Happy New Year! I hope you've had a lovely festive season so far and I wish you all the best for a wonderful year ahead. As we find ourselves on the point of a brand new year I always tend to get a bit reflective, as I think most people do, and this year I'm able to look back and see quite a bit of progress. I won't pretend everything went perfectly - far from it - but I'm quite proud of some of the things I did in 2024, and setting up a brand new business falls into that category. I didn't realise at first how hard it was going to be, there was so much more to learn than I'd anticipated, and there's still plenty more I'll need to get to grips with in 2025, but I've tackled it and I found some wonderfully supportive people along the way, so as we close out this year I'm able to look back on it and find plenty to be happy about.
I've finished 2024 with a new design, 'La Femme,' who you can see there on a mug, but she's also available on the usual range of clothing. I thought a touch of glamour is the way to go on New Year's Eve... You'll find the clothing in the usual places, but I've also created some new collections to make the website easier to navigate as the product range grows. La Femme is now in a brand new collection which I've called 'Pride,' do look out for more new designs in there early on in 2025. I've also created a collection for the recent tattoo inspired designs, and another one called 'Philosophy' where you'll find the Rumi and Lao Tzu quotes that were among the first products I made available. I hope that makes it a bit easier - if you want a t-shirt for instance you can look in the t-shirts collection and find all the designs there, but if a particular style of design is your preference you can just go straight to that collection and find it there. That's not the end of the reshuffle, I think building and running a website is an ongoing thing, but it definitely feels more organised, like it's coming together a bit more now. I hope you like it.
I'll leave it there for now... Next week's blog will return to the usual Wednesday slot, I just felt it appropriate last week and this to do it a day earlier, what with last Wednesday being Christmas Day and tomorrow being New Year's Day. All the best for a great celebration - if that's your thing - and for a wonderful year ahead.
