Lately I've been rather consumed with "other" things going on in the background. First, my dad got ill. He'd been falling and becoming increasingly confused over time and hadn't been at work for over 2 months. Sadly it meant my brother and I were dragged into a strange world of "how to close a business" and we had to clean, empty, sell everything and deal with all of dad's 30 years of paperwork.
At the same time I noticed my leg muscles were wasting away and my power/strength in my legs diminishing. Let's just say it's not been a good half a year but I'm a glass half full kinda girl.
I have a spinal cord impingement that may be the cause of everything but needless to say I'm managing ok. The brain fog due to menopause is slowly lifting (finally) and my ability to concentrate is getting better every day.
I've been expanding my card making skills and I've dived into the realm of journal/folio/album making. I've found that there's several jewellers out there that made the leap and in all honesty it's been fabulous for sparking my creative streak!
Due to my ever expanding range I'm shortly going to be doing a massive overhaul of the website. I have a brand new logo and I've decided to keep it simple with a black and white theme.
I'm very black and white, all darkness and light with a love of bright colours, quirky designs and fairytales. I always see the good and try to weave the magic into my designs. When I'm making things my pieces evolve, grow and develop their own little personalities-flawed, imperfect but beautiful-as we all are!
What you see is what you get. No trickery, no falsehoods, no gimmicks-just plain old honest pieces designed to outlive me. Everything is tried and tested (duplicate designs) and the tweaks ironed out to ensure as close to perfection as possible. I struggle with self promotion, advertising and the anxiety of putting my head above the parapet and saying "hi! I'm here" fills me with fear!
I'm human. Entirely flawed and imperfect just running her own little piece of the world, quietly in the background like a best kept secret. I'm just ME. Mizzicats Emporium is me. My dreams, my designs, my makes. I am Mizz Cat. I am me x
