Hello all. Some of you may have noticed my long absence... well, I'd like to believe I had a few regular readers anyway.
So why the radio silence? I moved to a new city, moved in with my boyfriend, set up a sewing/millinery workshop at home, got a new website for the business, lost my best friend (she didn't die or anything; she just fell out with me spectacularly), and I had some sort of commitment/quarter life crisis thing.
I am now resident in Liverpool... here it is:
Except I haven't actually seen that bit yet. That's the city centre waterfront, I live in the suburbs and haven't had much chance to explore yet, despite having been here for a few months.
I have a garden!
Complete with punk rawk laundry. It actually looks smaller here; it's about 8x20 metres, it's bloody huge and we have to cut the entire thing with a strimmer (that's a weed whacker, for you Yankee doodlers).
I'm trying desperately not to become some sort of vapid suburbanite. Our next door neighbour mops and disinfects his patio, he doesn't even have a dog.
We put up lots of shelves for all our gubbins...
I dyed my hair blue...
I started making 1950s inspired bags, available on my shiny new website alongside all my fancy millinery at www.kalandrajane.com...
We adopted a super cute lazy leopard gecko...
...and I went on loads of adventures in my little orange tent, trading at festivals and weekenders.
That's a very brief catch up... I've been really busy and it's been kind of hard to keep up with everything without having to think about blogging too! More sewing/website/lizard/Summer fun details to follow soon, ladies and gents.
