The Bow Bag Journey - LIVE!

When we kicked off 2024, I decided to embark on a new journey: The Bow Bag

I've done a bow style bag before and LOVED it, it sold out and I've always wanted to go there again but then along came Arthur. After dwelling on it night after night and adding it to my list of goals to work on this year . . . it's time!

I wanted to have fun with the whole manic process, so decided to document the journey right from the start. I'm inviting you all in to see what the process entails and also a realistic timeline of how it works from start to finish . . . in my case  . . . forever! The process is usually long because it has to be spot on.
For the first time, I'm putting it out there and just having fun with it. At present, 4 segments of the journey are live on my insta, get up to speed and check out the inspiration behind the ideas so far:

Heavily inspired by my love of packaging and online orders arriving tied up with a beautiful bow, this bag design is so far leaning towards being an elegant shoe box! But all could change  . . . . It's very early days . . .

A slice of Cheshire history || Crewe Hall

I'm a history geek, through and through. Always have been, always will be. 
Me and bestie Kate love hotel life, especially if there is a spa or a pool or both!
We enjoyed a last minute escape to Crewe hall which to be honest, caught me off guard. I knew it was steeped in history but had no idea it was to this extent! 

After we enjoyed our delicious meal in the hotel restaurant, we had an explore around the hotel. 
We noticed many other guests were doing the same, there were so many rooms, suites, function rooms, worship areas, gardens . . . 
My print design senses were going wild!

There had been a wedding earlier that day, we found the white aisle carpet runner which naturally we treated as a catwalk! 
















It's giving . . . Liberty of London!
