COME OVER AND SAY HI 👋 ON INSTAGRAM @LAURENASTONDESIGNS

Following on from my last post about projects that are a ‘Work in progress’ I thought I’d share mine with you, here’s my biggest (and most time consuming) WIP... oh and the new jumper I’m working on 😜 . But if you slide across you’ll see that it does all come together in the end, just like magic👌🏼 it may not be perfect but that’s ok because that’s what makes it special 💖 . For now, Im waddling off (see the end of the video for evidence) to put the finishing touches on my jumper... it’s about to get a whole lot more exciting I promise! Happy Thursday friends 💖
Just dreaming up what to knit next... I’m currently working on 26 wall hangings (out tomorrow 🙊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻) 3 Jumpers, 5 Christmas kits, 2 cardigans and 6 home products.... I love a WIP but I’m not so great at prioritising so never know which to finish first 😂🙈 I’ve also got some new NEON versions of the leopard print cushions coming out soon.... I just need to (you guessed it) finish them 😂😂🙈 I know I’m not alone here, please tell me your WIP list is just as long as mine? (And if it isn’t, please teach me how to prioritise 🙏🏻🙊)
AD | Just thought I'd drop in and give you a friendly shove to tell you - You Got This . Whatever it is. Whether it’s the daily struggle of trying to drink your tea (before you forget about it and it goes cold), the thought of tackling your inbox tomorrow, the idea of starting a business or simply changing the world …I have every faith in you m’darlin! YOU GOT THIS! . I’ve been working with @crowdfunderuk on their Back Her Business program - trying to encourage more women to chase their business goals by giving you some *friendly* little shoves - and the feedback has MADE MY WEEK. It’s been wonderful hearing from some of you who’ve felt encouraged by this campaign to apply and start your own businesses. YAS QUEENS! 💪🏼 I think a lot of the time we don’t even try to reach our goals through fear of failing, or even, just the assumption that we wont be able to do it, but i’ve found it makes a HUGE difference when someone believes in you and backs you (I know this is true because you do it for me, Every. Damn. Day.) So I want to be your cheerleader and tell you ‘YOU CAN’ do this! Whether it’s making dinner out of the remaining contents of your fridge (Half an onion, some jam and questionable milk…I’m in for a treat!) or starting a bangin’ business, I believe in you! . If you identify as female and are considering starting a business then check out the link in my stories because @CrowdfunderUK ‘s Back Her Business program wants to help with funding, mentoring and coaching….so we can both be your cheerleaders
{Ad | Gifted} Just sitting here checking the weather forecast wondering when it’s safe to play in my garden again 🙊🤞🏼🙏🏻 (and by play I mean drink gin and watch films on my fecking huge ‘outside tv’ 💁🏼‍♀️) . P.S I’m rewatching Killing Eve (again) because it’s just so incredible and I can’t find anything to fill the void it’s left! . 🎥 projector from @ao (Gifted) 💡 lights from @lights4fun (Gifted) 🧶 knits by @laurenastondesigns (Stolen 😜)
I’m not sure if we’d rather be on Cloud Nine or the iCloud....Imagine all the crazy shit you’d see if you could get into ‘The Cloud’. Harry’s in a proper spin just at the thought of it 😜
Ad | Gifted BIG DECK UPDATE 🎉 It’s been a little while since I’ve chatted about my Big Deck but it’s recently been upgraded so I thought it was about time to show it off again! Our deck is now equipped with Hammocks, Festoon Lights and an Outdoor Cinema (can you believe?!) so this post is actually my announcement to tell you I shall be moving out of my actual house and taking up residence on my decking from now on. I can sleep, eat, knit and watch tv out here - plus Harry seems happy. What more could I need? (I know what you’re thinking but really...Who needs to wash anyway?! 🤷🏼‍♀️) . Shout out to @lustliving for forever bringing the garden inspo and inspiring us all to cinema outdoors. . 🎥 Projector from @ao (Gifted) 💡 Lights from @lights4fun (Gifted) 🧶 Blanket from @laurenastondesigns 🐶 Crazy dog who does whatever he likes whenever he fancies - my own poor training skills 💁🏼‍♀️ #ad #aoathome
BEST WEEKEND EVER. Between today’s recovery naps I’ve been reminiscing about how brilliant our Open Studio Days were on Friday and yesterday. Thank you so much to everyone who came and made it so special. I was far too excited to remember to take pictures 95% of the time but here’s a small selection I managed to snap... . We’ll definitely be opening our doors again soon (Standby for our November dates!) because it was totally MAGIC to welcome you into our studio. Thank you again to everyone who came to visit, everyone who sent kind messages, and massive love to my dream team @thecbnteam & @littlesallywaters for their incredible help and endlessly support (and for putting up with me!) JUST ALL THE THANK YOU’S! 💖💖 hope you’ve had a glorious weekend my loves! L x
The boss says we’re *nearly* ready for the open studio tomorrow. He’s delegated all the remaining jobs and is personally dealing with the more pressing issues like eating dinner and cleaning his bum’ole (I do mean Harry, my dog, not Alex, my husband) I better dash because my To-Do list is a bit longer than his 🙄. We REALLY hope you can make it 🤞🏼 more info in my stories plus secret goodie bag info if that’s your jam 🙊🤫 💖 . P.S I also want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who’s read and shared my blog from yesterday- it means the world, thank you so much! I’m a bit behind on messages because of open day prep but please know I’m so grateful! 💖💖💖
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A HAPPIER DOG?! . After my grouchy stories today I felt like I should put something joyous into the world. I also figured I’d say NO THANKS HUN to the Instagram pressure and rather than posting something ‘perfect’ I just wanted to post this happy snap Alex took today (obvs while we were enjoying our Big Deck) and to be honest, nothing brings me more joy than Harry’s ridiculously happy face 🐶💖 happy Sunday pals 💖💖💖
I was supposed to be at a marvellous @westelmuk event in London this evening but thanks to this climate crisis it was called off to save us all melting, so instead I stayed home and caught up on some jobs I’d been avoiding, like tidying, laundry, emails and taking new product pictures... which is what led me to standing by a window in my living room holding some wool and needles, desperately jabbing at the remote shutter whilst wearing a chunky knit cardigan on the hottest day in history. . I was going for ‘fabulous knit kit for both summer and winter 💁🏼‍♀️’ but fear it’s ended up more ‘ 😬 I’m seconds away from spontaneous combustion, somebody FAN ME!!’ Which vibe are you getting? I feel like the longer you look at it the more you see my desperation 😂🙈 . So, how was your day? ☀️🥵 . P.s I’ve tagged the cardigan since I feel like I really sold it to you there and you’ll clearly be desperate for one of your own 😂🤦🏼‍♀️
