Man, it's hard to stay focussed in the summer. All the work I should be doing, is piled up on the cutting table, judging me every time I walk past with no intention of touching it.  Now, what always happens, is happening. My "I've got plenty of time before the show!"'s have turned into "Son of a Nutcracker, I have less than a month??!!"'s. Why do I do this... every... time!  *stands up and raises her hand* Because I am a procrastinator. Hello. I'm not saying I haven't been busy doing stuff... but I've been busy doing the fun stuff....

The One of a Kind Show is great for many reasons, but one of them is all the wonderful people, artisans and customers alike, who get woven into your life.

Whether you wanted me to or not! They're there! (please feel free to tell me to stop) I have NOT posted any of the photos that I have secretly taken of you on the streets when...

I love looking at new fabrics and planning new collections! I got to spend an overwhelming two point something hours looking at millions of fabric swatches yesterday. Ok, maybe it was dozens but it certainly felt like hundreds. What?! I could have spent the day in that showroom, but I'm not sure if it would have been from excitement or from indecisiveness. So much fabric. In the end, I made some decisions and I'm so excited for the next season! Which is always a bit strange, because weather wise, we're not even started this season, and I'm already looking forward...
