So, I sat down to work this morning and after about an hour or two, I found myself getting bored. This is a common problem for me. And this is why I am always making something different and learning new things. Another problem I have is being a hermit. I always say for every minute I spend with people, I need five to myself. I'm rarely lonely when I'm alone. So, I pulled myself together (drew a line at the matted hair plastered to the side of my head- oh, my lucky husband- and smudged mascara), got in the car and ran around town doing errands. I stopped in at textile fabrics and got some really cute stuff. I was unable to find the fabrics that I went to replace. Isn't that always how it is? So, there will be new fabrics coming out in both the jewelry and the button lines!
I also spent some time working on filling the board. I am revving up to begin making samples to be sent out to additional stores. The catalog is in the works, the samples are being considered and prepared, and the new business cards are due to arrive any day now. I do still have a few things to consider. I am focused on sample presentation right now. I know what I want but bringing it into reality- well, that's a different issue.
As with last week's feeling of working and having nothing to show.....it will all come together. It always does. It's funny how that works.
Misc. Info: New supply shipments came in today. I am really excited to work with some of the new stuff! And the mannequin head arrived. I absolutely hate photo time and I do need a way to be able to show exactly where a necklace or pair of earrings fall. So, I got the mannequin. It may have been wasted money. She is eery. Each of kids jumped when they saw her. Max said, "Can you please put her away when you are not using her? Please?" I've had to put her on the floor under the table so as not to scare my poor children and, if I am honest, myself. When you see her from the corner of your eye she does have a startling effect.
