Welcome
Welcome to Maisie Turner Designs' website and first ever blog. I am Maisie Turner (soon to be Maisie Allan, a story I will share with you all at a later date) and this is my brand, spanking new business. 2020 saw a lot of change around the world and encouraged some of us to make some big decisions. And so as we continue to live through this crazy and scary time I decided to just put myself out there and try and start my own little side business and see where it leads me. I guess not all bad things came out of this horrendous pandemic for me.
So what is Maisie Turner Designs? Well I am a self taught water colour artist, focusing on animals and the beauty in nature, capturing the expression and fun that these wonderful creatures we share this world with express. I love colour and vivid brush strokes and water marks in my work, I paint rather loose and expressive, much like the subject I choose to paint. I have decided to start this blog to record this journey, a journey I am beyond excited to share with you, to share the trials and tribulations of starting my own business. My life, the ups and the downs, the fun and the sad. To share with you lifestyle wins, things I am loving things I am not loving, things that help me and anything I can recommend to improve ones life. To share with you my business at it grows and I create and launch more products and add to my collections but most importantly I want to enjoy every moment of this unknown and somewhat scary journey of uncertainty that I am about to embark upon.
Who is Maisie Turner? I am engaged to Dave Allan, a flat jockey - that will come with its own stories and laughs along the way in itself. Being with a professional sports person is not as glamorous as it may seem, especially when said person can't go out to tea on a whim and planning any down time and holiday getaways is impossible, but that is a whole other blog for a whole other time. I have one gorgeous and loving step daughter, Nicole, who is a budding artist and at the age of 11 coming up 12 is looking to take me out of a job before I've even begun. Finally I am mother to two wonderful hounds - lurchers to be exact, Billy and Jag (Jag you may think is a rather odd name, he is named after Dave's first Group Success as a jockey on board the horse called Fayr Jag and that's how the hound got his name) We live in North Yorkshire, God's own country some may say, but I shall leave that for you to agree or disagree with. And that is pretty much me in a nutshell.
So as we settle into 2021 and hope for a more positive year I personally cannot wait to see what the future holds and where this next chapter of my life leads to. Let's begin this journey together. Please bear in mind I am not a writer, it will be a case of trial and error, my punctuation may not be the best, I tend to write as a speak but please be patient with me. I am hoping this will be more endearing than annoying but time will tell, I will strive to improve in all aspects of this blogging life. So if you are wanting to jump onboard this journey with me be sure to sign up to be alerted to my new blog posts and lets grow a fun and positive community where we can inspire each other to be the best version of ourselves.
Until next week
