What a beautiful day 💫. Dissertation submitted and I'll have my viva some time in the autumn. 🥂

I'm looking for a super rare textile book called Pique: Plain and Patterned by Donna Sullivan.

If anyone knows how I can get my hands on a copy, I'd be SO appreciative!

Finished writing my PhD today and finally closed 1,000 tabs that I've had open for as many years.

Down to writing the conclusion chapter for my dissertation. Almost there 🥲

Literally punching the air after finishing edits on my core PhD chapters.

Still work to do for the intro and conclusion, but it feels like the meat of dissertation writing is finally behind me 💥💪🏾
