It's what time?!!

How can it possibly be 4:30 in the afternoon? I started about 10:45 this morning working on drafting patterns for the new line (exciting!), and it is now 4:30 in the afternoon and I have gotten 2 done. I still have SIX to go! This doesn't compute does it? I mean the prototype and all of the measuring and fitting together and all that is done. I am just making a pattern that we can set down and cut around. Sounds easy, right? Apparently not. And, I am ready to start hurting people at this point.

Anyway, it is break time now. Funny, generally I need a break to get AWAY from the computer!

On a lighter note, I have a new "hobby" of reading business books. I think it is the only way I can work at home without getting yelled at for not relaxing......Anyway, it has been very interesting, and eye-opening, and informative, so I went on a bit of an amazon.com binge. The final few of my order finally got here today, and I don't know which one to start with. I am so excited. We were going to go to the Seattle Gift Show tomorrow to shop for the shop, and now I think I am going to actually take the day off, stay home, do laundry, and read all day. Sounds perfect.

I hope you all are having a nice relaxing weekend too! I'll certainly be having a better one once these darn patterns are done. grumble. grumble. grumble.

I'm Here!

Yes, yes. I am still alive. Busy, but alive.

I am sorry for the long absence. Christmas got hectic. Really, really hectic. Then, the week after christmas I got sick. Really, really sick. For like 2 weeks too. Then, I am have been freaking out with this new line, which is way, WAY behind. So, but it is all just excuses really. Oh well.

But what is important is I am here now. Oh, and this bag:



I think this is about the cutest thing I have ever seen, nonetheless made. I love it. I don't want to give it up.

Anyway. All is good here. Really good. We are frantically working on the new line: new photos, new products, new tags, new store design, new business structure, new employees. New, new new! Lots of fun, but crazy busy.

Well, I think that is all for now. I promise I will write more, more often.
