First dress from new and improved studio finally went out last night. Im getting there. Plagued by a few injuries, it has definitely been a struggle. This little engine keeps turning no matter what and no matter how slow.

Happy Memorial Day! I'm spending mine getting my workshop studio set up so I can actually get back to work again. Been moving for 2 weeks and have some deadlines steadily aproaching! Its somewhat how I want things arranged. The tall shelves will move but right now they are holding all the drawers for the tool chests.

Moving day part 1 done. Part 2 on Monday. Part 3 next Friday. Ugg. This is going to take awhile. If I have not updated you on your dress shoot me a text. Lots of things in motion at once for my crazy adhd brain at the moment.

I'm not crazy, I'm just wired differently. I do not own a computer, and I sketch every design out on paper with pencils.

Handwriting on paper doesn't just feel different. It forces the brain into a deeper kind of encoding that screens cannot trigger, and the difference shows up on MRI scans within an hour.

Sometimes the smallest thing can bring back so many memories. While organizing boxes in the garage, in preparation for the big move, I come across a lone hanger. The only hanger left with a name tag on it, Kyndra. If you dont know Kyndra DeMott, she was my first muse. I made many dresses for her, all unique and original, just like her. Her picture was also chosen for the article written about me in the paper. We made the front page 2x, once for an article on my company, and again for when my team won the stiletto race which she ran in. Miss you girlie!

First podium shot of the season goes to Lily in her "Whatever Lola Wants" dress, and Annabelle in her tango inspired dress. Great job ladies! Rumor has it they were talking about me, and someone asked to see Lilys... um... under part. The brief on Lilys and back of Annabelle are the best parts! Hahaha
