So as many of you know, I'm a full-time college student. Which means, school comes before business, as much as I don't want it to sometimes! The page as been pretty quiet right now because I have been super busy. But, I am a SENIOR! Which means, this is my LAST end-of-semester craziness! But that also means one of my projects is my writing portfolio, since I'm a Creative Writing major. I have to make two binders of lots of paperwork - a table of contents (which I just now remembered I had to do...), an artist statement (basically my philosophy of writing), 30+ pages of writing samples, an writer's assessment (discussing my work), and an annotated bibliography (list and descriptions of every creative writing work I've done during my college years). I have most of this done now, but I have to put this all together by Thursday, and it's my first project done. After that, I have two 8-10 page papers to write, for Monday and next Thursday. Neither of which I particularly want to write, and I would much rather be working on my portfolio, which is of course, the first thing due...
But stick with me! The first month after my graduation is going to be intensely insane with lots of moving, traveling, reoganizing, spring cleaning, resettling, and just general adjustment. But after that, I hope to get into a groove of working a regular job, working on new items for my business, and the catching up on the businessy side of stuff.
I have a growing list of products I want to introduce this summer, and I can tell you this - it is PAINFUL to not be able to work on them right now! I'm writing down my ideas so I don't forget, and as soon as I get a chance, I'm going to get to 'em!
The idea I am most excited about is my idea for photobooks that I've never seen before. It brings together different disciplines of craft to make one super special product! That's all I'll say for now... But just you wait til you see it ;-)
Another item I'm hoping to introduce is my own fabric bracelets! I have been racking my brain for the past year to come up with my own style of fabric bracelet that's not just like everything else that's out there, which are all mostly the same in my opinion. I have a couple different ideas, and while some are similar (which is unavoidable in simple designs - the basic structure is going to be the same), my first big idea, I haven't seen before :) (though that doesn't mean it's not out there...)
The last thing I'm planning to do more of is baby clothes and accessories! As you may have seen me post about on the page, I have a baby boy and a baby girl to spoil now <3 One is my nephew, my step-sister's son, and the other is my "niece," my boyfriend's goddaughter. They are absolutely the most beautiful babies I have ever seen (unbiased, of course :-P) and you will probably hear lots about them, and how much I miss them because they both live halfway across the country in different directions! But, they give me a reason to make lots of baby stuff :)
So, that's what I have planned for now (along with many other small ideas), but I'm sure I'll come up with more along the way, so stick around!
