My studio, which I love BUT it is never this clean!! A clean office usually indicates a photo shoot or slow sales. This was a photo shoot right before my launch. This year I expanded my studio and converted to a standing everything! My computer is permanently at a treadmill - it is not always on but I have to stand. I've learned to sew standing as well! At first, my days were long and tiring from standing all day, but I quickly got used to it. One thing I have learned from standing - wear shoes or at least stand on a yoga mat, your feet will thank you!

My first thought about our launch is yay!! I have awesome, supportive customers and I love them all... but after a week what do I really think?? First of all, I LOVE building something new, creating new products, design patterns, photography, building a website... Yes, I did it all myself. I was able to stay focused throughout this process, which led to my amazing new collection! Now what?? I need to focus on marketing and spreading the word, which I do not love and I'm not good at it. BUT I'm determined!! Of course, my mind is working on some new releases for Fall, but my main focus needs to be this new collection!

Okay my studio is never this clean...
