They don't call her Hipster Sister for nothin'.
I still haven't decided if this weekend has been way too short, or if it was just right. You know, sometimes it just feels like you've had a long weekend, and then you officially hit the, "I never want to go back to work again because I'm in vacation mode", mode. I could totally retire right now. I definitely made that decision while laying by the pool for 4 hours today.
This weekend has been chock full of raging designing madness. Seriously, you should see my bedroom right now. I would take a picture of the intense inspiration that is scattered about my room, but it's actually a bit embarrassing. (That's where all of the creativity was running wild. My sewing room just wasn't havin' it.) There's scraps of fabric scattered literally everywhere. I even found a piece of orange plaid fabric floating in my fish bowl. So sorry Reef. It's terrible. It's a mess. But it's also very inspiring. I've managed to bang out a couple of new pieces. All of which we are using to launch with, so I, unfortunately can not show them to you. Sigh. Soon enough, babies. Soon enough. Lots and lots has been getting done for the line. Things are going at a pace that I haven't expected. How can I describe it, oh, like my line is taking off on jet fuel. I need more than 24 hours to get everything done on a daily basis. I've even been doing work for my line, while at my other job. Needless to say, my boss found my "To Do" list for Prim Suspect, and added to the bottom, "Don't forget about your FIRST job!", and "Keep busy at work!" No offense, boss lady, but that's why I come in an extra half an hour early every single day. Did you think that I woke up at 6am on a daily basis because I find it enjoyable?
On a really fun note ... My partner works in NY, so he lives here in NJ for part of the week, then in Brooklyn for the other part of the week. We've basically decided that we want Prim Suspect to be based and run out of Brooklyn, makes sense, considering our target customer is Brooklyn itself, basically. So he's being a serious trooper and gathering up a ton of listings for us to find a place to live, in between working. He's an awesome dude. (High five, Rob!) Hopefully we can live in a decent area and start ruling the big BK in no time!
I found a new store that I'm completely and utterly obsessed with, Opening Ceremony. Just drop me off out front and pick me up in 5 hours. I would probably come out looking like I just competed in the Olympics. Gold metal champ, for sure.
And I'm STILL so so so into Steam Punk. I just can't get over it. And no, I will not apologize. (See Steam Punk deer in above photo.) Maybe it's a little creepy, but I can totally see a twenty first century Bambi coming out of this....
You heard it here first.
