My Lily and the Rose

13/02/2018

I've been quiet for a long time. Have been busy with the biggest of my makes. She took 9 months to arrive and even decided to make her appearance on her due date too!
This is Mia-Susannah and she'll be 3 months this Friday.
Since she has been born I have been seeing Bella By D in a different light and wanting to take the business in another direction. So am going to be rebranding and thinking of doing a kickstarter crowdfunding campaign to coincide with this.
Just wanted to get everyone's thoughts and maybe some help with the new name:
We were going to try to do something along the following-
Mama & Mia Designs
Purple Lily Designs
Lady Lily Designs
*Bella Mia Designs (too many companies with the same or similar and a jewellery company too)
My Lily Designs
Lady & Lily Designs
*Rose & Lily Designs

My favourite being DElaine Designs

*Unfortunately there are companies that match this too close that make jewellery. So need to find other alternatives.

These would either have Designs or not at the end

I wanted to go with something that incorporates mine and my daughter's name and the meaning of our names:
DONNA ELAINE - LADY FAWN
MIA-SUSANNAH - MY LILY

If anyone can come up with any other name -this would need to not be the same as any other company especially another jewellery/gift company to not confuse customers.

Or if you like any of the names I have given above let me know.

Here's a piece I've been working on recently, it's a new weave for me, not sure what it's going to be yet, most likely a pendant.

I can certainly say it's been a strange but good start to the year.
We have recently moved house and are in the middle of sorting our new flat out.
So lots of great things happening this year.
Looking forward to the first event of ours of 2017, fingers crossed for some good weather :)
