So as per usual I haven't written in a while. I have been using up all my creative writing juice creating articles for Social Student so there hasn't been much left for me to say on here.
I have been designing still so that I can hopefully start making in the new year so there should be something at least for me to share with you once it's all taken some shape.
I went to London at the beginning of October to source some accent fabrics for the collection and at the end of this week I will be looking into the main body fabrics and linings too.
I'm pretty excited about all this and it's getting my creativity flowing again. As you know, I was getting really bogged down in my job and although I have had a promotion now and am earning a little more, money is not more important than happiness.
If I didn't have so many bills to pay, I would have left this job by now because it is demoralising and upsetting. I wouldn't recommend taking a job in retail unless that is ultimately what you want to do. I am currently looking for other work at the moment that will satisfy my skills and abilities in selling but that will treat me with respect and kindness. I have seen a lack of those qualities in this business, more so than I have ever seen in a job before.
It does beg the question, will I ever find a job that satisfies me? Is it me, or is it just retail? Will I ever be happy again in work, if I am not part of a design team?
These questions will be answered I'm sure in good time when I hear back from the dozen jobs I applied to yesterday.
Other than that, lovelies, I'm not sure what else there is to tell you apart from I will endeavour, as always, to keep you updated.
Now I simply MUST go and make my lunch!
