Well here I am!
I have been wanting/thinking about writing a blog for the last couple years. I still sort of screw my face up at the word. Yes my whole face! Not just my nose! I guess it has come down the oh gosh, what I want to say is too private, or, what if its not funny/witty/clever/slap-in-the-face opinioneee enough?!? Meh We will see:) My name is Lucy. I am 23. I live in Brisbane Australia. Within the last 5 years while and since scraping a pass from high school I have- -Started my own label, -Met a man -Moved out of home (to Melbourne), -Received some wholly-molly news (a baby is coming! 10 points for responsible adult), -Moved back to Brisbane and had our baby girl (Poppy) at 19 years old -Kicked in to young parent survival mode and moved to the charming mining town (Gladstone)(Lived in an old shop with no hot water or shower for 9 months with a 2-3mnth old? (oh boy) -Decided I can't not continue designing, which led to 4 Brisbane runway/artist shows and my first experience in being stocked in boutiques. -Moved down to the middle of no-where town Agnes Waters/Town of 1770 :) -Kept my label going slowly while pregnant with another baby!! -Had little Elk and moved back to Brisbane to be closer to family (and a city..) -Had a screaming new born and made a collection which is still one of my favourites (yellow buttercup dress) -Sam, my partner started nightshift -Managed to become stocked in a Tokyo boutique (Girly Rose) doing custom orders. -Got sick from messed up hormones and long hours/stress = Hypothyroid.. -Became afraid to commit to any more collections/projects for a while. -Unsuccessfully tried different diets to possibly help, and of course = me just taking out stuff I thought I couldnt eat without replacing... so yes I was sort of starving myself. Not good. -All the while, organising a my wedding for Nov. 2015 -Got married -Started to see someone professional for the first time instead of trying to fix and do everything myself! -Moved to a new house -This year is when I will move to actually having a part time job with actual day working hours, in which I don't have to feed anyone but myself or stop to play doctors or doggies or people fingers. (A game that I can never get out of with the excuse 'I don't have a toy'.) I am not completely sure where I want this *cringe* blog to go, but I guess I want to be honest as a girl creative entrepreneur and young mum. What advice I can give or take from others who have big dreams, and also may have lots of other priorities that they also have dreams for to juggle. And as a woman and a mother with particular priorities and ideals for my babies, I know that if I want something else too, it is added not a replacement or a swap. Its happy loving family with time for each other, AAAAAANNNNNNDDDD a fabulous and creatively and brain smarts fulfilling career. x Lucy
