The new 2022 patches are here! And I’m so happy

The new 2022 patches are here! And I’m so happy with how they’ve turned out 🥲

I mentioned in stories that I don’t get physical proofs of my patches (for a few reasons) so it’s always a relief when they turn up looking 👌🏻👌🏻😆

I didn’t design this bit of lettering to be on its own originally, it was part of one of my 2022 patches, but it works so well as a little design in its own right!

I love repurposing designs, its something I don’t see people doing enough - if it’s good, don’t just use it once! Not that I’m saying you should slap it on every damn thing but ya know, give your designs the mileage they deserve and have them work harder for you. ❤️

👀 My main brief when designing cards for thortful is “make it a bit dirty”. They’re bloody gagging for it over there!

Do you do anything for Valentine’s? We maybe did for the first couple of years, but the last 17?* Nah mate. It’s an M&S dine-in if we’re lucky 😅

*I also just asked Adam how long we’d “been going out” hahah, we have a kid + foetus, two dogs, two cats, and a house. “Going out” 🤣

Morning! Anyone else getting increasingly annoyed

Morning! Anyone else getting increasingly annoyed at that low winter sun?! Feel like we’ve had the blinds down for the last two weeks because it just hits your eyeline in the most annoying way, and don’t even get me started on driving with it!

That said, I *am* loving having a bit more light in our days, and I’m definitely getting the feeling that spring is just around the corner. Though now I’ve said that it’ll probably snow next week, won’t it? 🥴

You might have noticed on stories that I've not shown Eli's face for the last couple of weeks, something which I stopped doing here on the grid last year.

Before E was born, me and Adam discussed how we'd approach sharing him on social media. We agreed to see how it went, and change with what felt comfortable at the time. Initially I shared his face on the grid, but as he changed into more of a person (not a generic newborn), the easy permanence of the grid felt like too much of an overstep into his privacy so we decided to remove his face from there. As time's progressed I've felt comfortable enough sharing his face on stories but last week after reading someone's post about image theft and child role-play (mostly innocent but can be picked up by sinister groups), I decided I felt more comfortable with removing his face from all social entirely.

That's not to say I won't be sharing our lives, just in a less easily identifiable way. When baby two comes along I'll likely share a couple of newborn photos but then his face will be hidden, too.

Obviously no shade to anyone who *does* share their kid's faces on social, for a long time I felt comfortable doing the same, it's definitely a fully personal choice and you've just gotta do what you feel comfortable with!
