The Face Behind The Feral
Recently a campaign went through all the FB business pages to show the "face behind the page". it was a really great way for a lot of us to put people to the businesses we support and like. So, in a way of continuing that I've decided to provide some insight into the face behind "Feralique".
Some of you guys know me quite well, others not so much, so this will either be a crash course into me, or some basic revision.
Alrighty then. My name is Jacqui. I am 32 next month (why does your age always look older when you type it?). I live in Canberra with my husband (AKA: The Husbanian) and my two crazy little kidlets Kyla, more commonly known as Wookie - and no, she is not excessively hairy :o), who is 2 and a half, and Lucie, who we at home call Peanut who is 9 months.
Fun times.
I started sewing last July whilst on maternity leave as something new to teach myself. Turns out I quite liked it. The husbanian decided I should start selling the odd bits and pieces and so Feralique was born.
Unfortunately though, I had to return to the "day job" in October. I work as a Laboratory Technician in Pathology here in Canberra's major hospital. Due to those unfortunate things like mortgages I had to go back full time so I work Monday to Friday from 11:30am - 8pm. Great hours hey? Gives me time with the kids in the AM and bugger all time in the PM. And I'm still trying frantically to sew orders together!
I have, however, recently decided, that after 14 years of working in labs I might want to do something different. I'm calling it my "Thirty Life Crisis". I'm currently looking at doing a course at TAFE in Clothing Manufacture, which would get me into a fashion design course. But, I don't know, pipe dreams maybe.
I do LOVE Feralique. I love the people it has brought into my life. I have made some great friends via my page, and the support I get is amazing! And I hope that one day I can spend less time at work and more time at home making Feralique grow and spending more time with the family.
Man.......I have waffled on haven't I? Well on that note, I'll bugger off to you can get on with your day. Have a good one!
And as always.....Get your Groove on!
