Hi,
A big thanks to all my gorgeous friends who have said they have read my blog. I am loving this medium.
I am actually a journal writer from way back. Some may even recall "Miss Fairstar". One of the things on my list of things to do in this lifetime is to publish The old diaries. Guess this is doing it for me already(scary). Tick.
Need a favour..... can someone please add a comment, even just "hi" so I know I am set up properly. I know at least one friends comment couldn't be posted. I have fiddled with settings and hope I have fixed the problem. I must admit I check regularly and still no comments. Bit like waiting for the boy to call scenario.
So, as the title mentioned, I learnt a new word! Yay! crazily enough it actually a word that describes how I have been making a living for the last decade. Bespoke. It refers to custom fitting and making clothing with a high degree of tailoring, cutting a personalised pattern from extensive measurements and making one off garments. Who thought it. That's what I do.
As anyone who knows me will realise I have been on a quest to find that one thing that I can do which will define me in terms of my career. I am obviously an ideas person.
Got hit by another idea yesterday. It almost knocked me over! I am sooooo excited. But then of course the idea grows and grows and grows into a monster,massive, multinational.....oh dear. Fantastic idea. But where to start. I wake in the morning tired. I know I have been working this out in my sleep. It's where I believe I do my best thinking.
For once though, I am not scared. This must be it. I have set the wheels in motion, made a few appointments with perhaps some key players. It's a start - might work , might not. No harm in checking it all out.
You're maybe wondering what this idea is - sorry. Can't tell yet. You will read about it soon enough I am sure.
Still very excited though.
That's a good sign.
My last post was "why Miss Carla". I have heard that an awesome brand is about the why not the what . Makes sense.
Some background stuff - bit out there. But it's my thing. I believe totally in things happening for a reason. Not a broad term like fate so much, but about small clues. You see them more when you look back at situations. If you believe in them then you can look out for them more and you start to see them almost at the present. I like to hope that I am a little psychic too - but that's another story.
I have been bombarded by little clues leading me to this idea. It all makes sense (hopefully I have not lost any poor souls trying to follow this) and that's why I am really thrilled about this new project.
Vague, I know, sorry, but keep following and this will all unfold.
Better go for now.
Tip: we should wear more red, even just on our lips. xxxxx
Ooh, how intriguing and guess what I get to be your first follower. I have been blogging for a while now but have lost the umph. I got rid of most of my posts so I could start again, if I still want to do blogging that is?
