Philadelphia in fish eye. Isaac's weekend. More bulgy, beautiful photos here.
Living Room in boxes. Heather's weekend. Shipment of secret product X. Not secret for long :)
The
DIY workload is out of control. We'll be hiring soon. Most likely an
assistant for Isaac at first, so Isaac can assist me: websites,
timelines, business systems, etc. I'll need an assistant as well soon
after. We are laying a careful foundation so our family can happily
handle the juggle.
Many may not realize how long the lead-time is in preparing goodies for the market. Most product designer don't blog about the next year's collection as they put it together. Hush, hush. Shh, shh. I know for a fact however, that we're all biting our knuckles to share, aching to tell all, but don't want to frustrate anyone in having to wait 3, 6, 9 or even 12 months to get her hands on said goodies. In short, I can't wait to start letting things Pop! Getting much closer on a number of things.
Two things I can share here today from my calendar:
1. I've been invited to be a panelist at Country Living's Women Entrepreneurs event in Chicago the weekend of March 15th, 2008. They'll be releasing ticket & event details come October 15th. Pop!
2. I've also accepted an invitation to appear at the Inspired artist workshop (paper-craft) in North Carolina on April 10-12th, 2008. Registration is already in progress. Pop!
Loving that hand-painted "Closed" sign up there. We should all
have one on hand for occasional use on the computer, oven, washing
machine, brain, etc.
Hang in there Heather....I totally understand how busy you are........(well not totally, but I fully support you!) Hugs, Laurie~ It's worth the wait ALWAYS, for what you produce with your hands!

Your husband is UBER talented. Just love his photography. Never been to Philly but it's been on my list for a while.
I can't wait to see some sneak peeks of what you've been working on. That pile of boxes must make you feel like a kid on Christmas morning!!

I am hoping for patterns and new fabric! I think that I am more excited about what all you talented fabric and pattern designers are introducing at market this month than I am for Christmas! I am hoping for sneak peaks soon!

Heather, I can't wait to see everything! And I wish that I could be your assistant--a long commute from Baltimore, but think of the frequent flyer miles. Just kidding.

Heather,
Blogging is strange and I love it, and I want to thank you for being a blogger. I am really enjoying this peek in to your world and what you share of your creative process. You are talented and generous, which is a very nice combination for those of us who get to visit your blog, use your fabric, learn from your tutorials and have a laugh over life's amusing details. Thank you, for your time, your humor, your sweet skills and for letting us ride along on your adventure.

Loved the PHL pictures. I was just at Jim's Steaks yesterday buying 3 Cheese Steaks to bring home to my Husband. He loves them.
PHL to PHX with Cheese Steaks... it's hard not to eat them on the flight home.
