I feel busier than I have in the last year. Why did I take on so many projects and responsibilities in the last few months? Oh yeah, because I am awesome and I can do it! (Self affirmations have been getting me through a lot lately.)
I’m in final negotiations to move into a new studio workshop. I have big plans for the space and I am excited to bring something to Omaha that our creative community really needs. When I get into this space I hope to hire an intern as soon as possible to begin helping me with fashion week projects, publicity, maintaining the store, assembling kits, etc. So keep that in the back of your mind if you know a young lady or gentleman who would be good at that. This workspace is awesome so cross your fingers that the negotiations work out!
I’ve been asked to contribute to a book and my studio photos and project are due in the next few weeks. What kind of project would you like to learn from me? What would make you buy this book? What in my studio do you want to see?
I committed to show five pieces at an Omaha Fashion Week runway preview show and charity fundraiser on March 31, so getting the accessories together right now is weighing on my mind. Click here if you’re interested in tickets for that.
And I have a lot of errands and chore-y things to do.
Gotta take care of some business with the IRS (joy).
Gotta open a new business account at my bank (glamorous).
Gotta get some quotes for insurance (blah).
Gotta finish bookkeeping for February (I actually enjoy that).
Gotta order tons of fabric.
Gotta pick models for the March 31 show.
And I have a lot of customer-y things to do.
Gotta figure out a few invoice issues.
Gotta finish photographing and listing new headbands in the PL store.
Gotta ship six kits and three bridal orders.

Cool news, in list form:
I got accepted for sure to this year’s Omaha Fashion Week. I counted my chickens before they hatched on this one and had been planning and designing this line without a guarantee that I’d be included, but after reviewing my application the committee did select me this week. Hooray!

The bouquet would be used in a Brides magazine photoshoot based around a Very Special Cake.
Renowned cake decorator Rebecca [...]

I have looked all over Omaha and still can’t find a copy of that magazine. All the newsstands still have the old one out–so I guess I’ll just have to wait a bit longer. Right now I am watching Barnes and Noble, which is where Dave took these pictures of me tonight on our series [...]
