So its official, we are now 1 year old! Been really exciting so far and so many things have come up for us that we never knew when we first started. Business aside, our own lives have also been total madness, our little son Ernest was born 3 days before my birthday and we've been parents for about 4 months already. We are just learning so much and having a child tho is never easy, is a very fulfilling thing and I feel everyone should have a go at. haha.

  Things pass through my mind like nobody's business, as a boss of your own setup, you get to chart the direction and vision that your company/business is heading towards, it is so different compared to your job/career everyday. You always get to decide and choose your path. On that note, I have a whole bunch of ideas, things we want to do and try out, ways to make money and its really dynamic and anything can happen. Its lucky for us that at this time, the support for local design is slowly building up, retail stores are open to stock our products and the public are slowly opening up to handmade products. Just yesterday unfortunately, we stopped stocking at...
