Hello all! Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet, needed a few days away to clear my head but thought it was about time I put a face to a name… so, here’s a semi decent pic from when I had hair… don’t have much at the moment due to chemo, but it’s coming back through. I don’t think I’ll get my proper colour back 😬 never thought I’d miss being ginger!!
I am receiving A LOT of messages daily for which I am SO SO grateful for, but I literally don’t have time to reply to that many. I wish there were more hours in the day and I had more hands so I could make something for everyone! I really do.
As a lot of you who have been following my page for a while know, this last year I have been having a fair bit of cancer treatment. Couple of surgeries, chemo, radio and a new drug regime on-top of the hormone therapies I started in January. Last few weeks my body has been trying to adjust to a new drug called abemaciclib but I’m starting to feel like I have some energy again… other side effects are a whole other story 🙈.
What I haven’t shared with most of you is that inbetween all of this we have been planning a move to Italy. It was actually planned to happen before diagnosis but then that happened and so things were delayed. However, we did sell our house last September in the UK and moved into a caravan temporarily on my sisters farm before coming to an air BnB earlier this year until our move at the beginning of May. We bought a house in Italy last summer and my husband has been overseeing the renovations on that side of things as I literally have no capacity in my brain to have thought about it at the moment. Most people would say we were crazy… and at times I’d have probably said the same 😂 So, all your little models have been made amongst all of this and this is also why I have had to limit what I can take on.
Because we are due to make the move in 5 weeks time, I made the decision to cease taking pre-orders and am just releasing ones I make with no pressure on myself. Once I am in Italy and settled I may go back to taking custom orders, but will definitely continue to sell batch releases (for postage purposes it makes sense as I’ll have to send them all in one parcel to the UK for my little apprentice I have recruited - my nephew - to distribute out) it’s the only way I can keep
Postage low at UK prices. Italy charge £20 to send a small parcel to the UK!!
Thank you so much for your support and for loving my little creations; you have no idea how much of a saving grace they have been for my mental health. I will be hard at work next week making up lots of favourites that will be up for sale on Sunday 5th April on a NEW site with easier ways to pay and complete. I won’t be releasing the site details until Sunday so everyone has equal opportunity to buy one.
Angela ❤️
