I did something crafty!

OMG, I just can't believe this! I made something crafty!!! And I love it!

Making dresses turned out to be a little too complicated for my "working 9-5", schedule. I'm sorry but when I get home I just want to relax. So I decided to put the dress collection aside. Instead I invented a skirt...fine I saw a picture of it in a Elle magazine but it was 300$... a little too much for my budget! So what do you think? Should I make a few and sell them on Etsy for, I don't know, 50$ (shipping included)? Just an idea!

Stay focus!

Lately I have been pretty quiet…too busy focusing on finding new ways to hate my job! What can I say? I’m passionate no matter what! I realized that it was time for me to quit when my doctor told me that I had rosacea and that it was probably the result of high emotional stress. So I have until June 1st to find a new job. Great timing (uber sarcastic) when you consider that we are in the process of buying a new house! Anyway!

However, when I was not agonizing over my job, I was making patterns, cutting fabric and sewing samples for a very tiny summer dress collection...so tiny I only have one dress at the moment! It’s pretty pathetic when you think about it but it makes me happy! I have one pattern in x-small, small and medium (working on the large next week). Each dress is unique since I only buy enough fabric for one dress. In theory, they should be available on Etsy in two weeks. I can’t wait to show you the result!
