What a wonderful roller coaster of a first year. Its been hard work, I've had highs and lows but I have thoroughly enjoyed it.
Firstly I have to talk about a special little wiener in my life BELLA - My first fur baby, whom I named my company after and little Darcy - BELDAR - unfortunately she gained her wings in December after a brave battle with bladder cancer. I cannot tell you how much I just wanted to curl up and pack everything in, but I was determined and still am in making this company work in honour of Bella. Never forgotten my girl and always a reminder of you - BelDarDesigns.
Bella - RIP 27/06/2010 - 06/12/2021.
I have single handed designed, maintained and updated the website. Designed new cross stitch patterns and kits. Got to grips with Instagram and Tik-Tok! which yes I try to post current projects and I will get my face behind the camera soon enough. Launched my new Teeny Wienie cross stitch range. (I hope you like the play on words Teeny Wienie) I do try to tie my Dachshunds (wieners) into everything I do.
I also manage an Etsy account which has done amazingly well, so much so I've had STAR SELLER of the month badge many times! and if that's not enough to juggle - we launched our new knitted doggy apparel range.
We added to our pack in March and decided to get a Rescue Puppy! Meet GINO - giving kisses to his sister Darcy May.
Amongst selling kits, I also had a steady stream of Custom made cross stitch orders and was absolutely stoked to be contacted by RADIOHEAD to design quite a few cross stitch pattern's for them, for their new cross stitch clothing patches.
A couple of the patches......
So here's to the next year! what's on the horizon?? you shall have to subscribe to find out the latest...
