Update…. Feeling like I might be making some progress in my recovery. Review with surgeon next week.
Also getting back into my sketching and sourcing some more fabric suppliers for something a little different. Keep checking in! 🤩

Have just opened an Etsy Store, to sell some canvas bags with my logo and favourite quote. Check them out! See comment below.

Check out some of my likes! I do not receive any financial commissions from theses companies but I have been a long-time fan and would like to give them some love for making my life easier and more enjoyable. I hope you enjoy them too.

Sorry I have been so quiet on social media. Have had a bit of a set back with my recovery process but happy to say back to my regular GP and a great Physiotherapist I feel I am again progressing.

Still keeping up to date with fabrics from my supplier Martin Savage and starting to sketch again without too much pain.

Looking forward to getting back to some sampling of garments in the next few months as long as my shoulder and arm is agreeable!

Hope you are all enjoying this lovely weekend. I will be tidying and organising my house for the weekend ahead, rehab and a walk and spend some time with my Mum. Her Uncle passed away last night and she will be needing some emotional help to get through the next few months. 💖💞

Recovery journey...now approaching 6 weeks. Looking at another 3/4 weeks off work and then hopefully some part-time work/ study & setting up my business. Until then, mediatations, rest, keeping positive, lots of reading, home duties that I am able to do and short walks along the water trying to use my right arm in a normal motion as much as possible. Photo where I enjoy my walks. Enjoy your day! 😃

This is exciting! I would like you to tell me what you would like to see from my clothing designs. I have just been in touch with an old supplier from my "East End Mode" days and have asked for some samples. Fabric will be stretch and machine washable. What colours would you like to be able to purchase my essential stretch tops and midi pencil skirt? I am looking at these 2 designs to be available first when my right arm & shoulder recovers.

JoLou updated their business hours.

Welcome to JoLou Atelier. My Name is Joanne Louise and I have a French and Scottish family background. Atelier is a french word meaning a workshop or studio, especially one used by an artist or designer.

Years ago I did have a small business open in the top end of Newcastle called "East End Mode" and I am hoping this will be my opportunity to continue and expand along-side my nursing career and further study. As a Libra I do work very hard to maintain balance in my life and as part of my self care I like to walk along the water, meditate and practice yoga & pilates regularly.

I am looking to use my Facebook account to show you my upcoming designs and keep you up to date with a positive blog about my life raising now 2 busy teenagers single handedly along-side my work, my cooking adventures and how I manage to do it all.

Welcome again and I hope you enjoy wearing my clothing line as much as I enjoy designing these pieces for you. All feedback is welcome and I hope you keep in touch regularly.
