Life has a way of rewriting your plans before you've had a chance to finish writing them.

Our little boy arrived eight weeks early, and just like that, everything shifted. The studio renovations, the content calendar, the carefully mapped-out maternity plan - all of it quietly moved to the background, replaced by something far more important and far more tender than any of it.

He is here. He is doing well. And we are completely in love with him.

He's settled into these beautiful long stretches of sleep, which means that while I'm spending a lot of time at the hospital by his side, I'm also beginning to think ahead - preparing for the moment we bring him home, and stealing time for my art or for my writing when the opportunity finds me. It's where I find my breath, and right now that's needed more than ever.

The weeks ahead still look different to what we imagined, with special care visits shaping our days for at least another month. But there's a rhythm starting to form, and with it, a quiet kind of momentum.

Orders are still being fulfilled, and my wonderful team is keeping everything moving with care.

Thank you for being here, for your patience, and for the warmth so many of you bring to this little corner of the internet. It means more than usual right now.

We'll keep you close.

With love, Corinne x
