Some normal, some not so normal, last one probably unhinged.

BUT the spell worked and I got THE job which was top of my list of things I wanted to happen this year so YAY!

What have you been doing to fill your cup recently?

Things are changing and it’s scary but great ❤️

I started this business on a total whim. It was a lifeline for me and threw me back into being a creative. Never did I think I would take it full time, or that anyone would be interested in the things I made.

I went on to win two awards, open a shop, collaborate with Uniqlo, be featured in magazines and newspapers… MADNESS.

But sometime things aren’t supposed to last forever, they’re supposed to morph into something different, and that’s what’s happening with TFM.

I don’t know what The Fruit Moth looks like business wise in the future, but I know that The Fruit Moth is really just me - and will be whatever I need it to be.

A new chapter is loading and I am excited for the challenge.

One year as Mrs Goddard 💒

A year ago today we did the legal bit with our beautiful family. I didn’t think I was going to be nervous as in my head the “real” wedding was the next day, but I woke up feeling SO sick with my stomach doing somersaults 😵‍💫

We had the most beautiful day, absolutely filled with laughter just like our whole relationship 💍❤️

I wore a one-of-a-kind Alexander McQueen moth print kimono bought at auction and a veil I found in the charity shop for £10 and added handmade silk flowers to it.

How has it been a year though?!

Sometimes you just need a bit of time with your creations to fall in love with them, and this was a prime example.

When I first tried it on I immediately thought absolutely not - these are pyjamas. But a few weeks later I’ve tried it on again and actually I love it now?!

What do we think - pyjamas or a great summer outfit?

Had the honour of being asked to judge at the Fashion Business Technology showcase for the second year in a row.

The creativity and collaboration between the students blows my mind - they have SO much to offer the industry.

Congratulations to the powerhouses behind who won the award, it was a really tough decision as there were some amazing business ideas in the shortlist but their unique idea has such a great scope for growth - we’re hoping to see them on Dragons Den 👀

Wishing all the students all the luck for their graduate careers which are looking shiny from here ✨

I taught myself to sew watching YouTube in 2020, and it was the best thing I ever did.

I had a gorgeous brand for five years and now I’m enjoying sewing even more, just for me, and learning even more!

When I was selling products for TFM I self drafted or developed patterns with professionals based on the fabrics I found. Now I’m teaching myself a whole new skill - actually following other people’s patterns 😂

I’m also considering starting to develop my patterns to sell 👀
So watch this space!

Let me know which is your fave ❤️
