The Beginning

So this is my new blog. I've been meaning to get round to this for some time now but when Sam bounced in from work yesterday and said "Carrers you HAVE to get a blog!!!" I thought, ok, it's time to blog. I sat in bed this morning with a nice cup of tea and wondered how i could use a blog and what it could do for me...

The story so far is that I have a website called CARiLOVES from which I sell tees and hoodies with bold, life affirming statement prints. Most of them are hand screen-printed from our home-based workshop, the living-room table, and it's pretty much a family set up. I love comfy clothing and I love to be creative. I have lived in the dark and in the light and at this point in time I much prefer the light because the dark side can get pretty scary. So my tees are all inspired by the lighter side of life and I'm trying to spread some happiness - pretty cheesy I know, but someone's gotta do it! :)

I believe that it is possible to do what you love in life and my amazing Mum's motto 'where there's a will there's a way' is a great one to live by (she does have many others which may be featured from time to time). It's quite simple for me, I want to share my ideas through my clothing and maybe inspire someone on the way. So as I sat in bed and finished my lovely hot cuppa, I realised that I could have some fun with this blog. I want to be as honest as possible and hope to share my life and my t-shirt making antics with anyone who cares to read!

Hope to write again soon!
