I was really on a roll there with the regular posting and then things got a little hairy round the studio in the past week or so. But there's a lot brewing, so I'll be filling you in as I get a moment to breathe.
One fun little project was this Goddess Day Invitation that I whipped up for my yoga teacher. She hosts this annual event with her fellow yoga teachers every year at her house and she told me she normally hand writes an invitation to her guests. I was happy to come up with something on a whim to invoke feminine energy in honor of the occasion.
In other news, we finished our bathroom renovation--I've got details and pictures for another post. That was actually a fun and fairly painless undertaking. The bright side of unemployment is that Dino is around to do lots of household projects!
I had a great two days with my new part-time assistant last week--she's perfect, for real. She already has an interest in invitation design so I can just ask her to do something, she totally gets it, and finishes it up without having to ask any questions. Not that questions would be a bad thing. I'm just thrilled with her competence level and can't wait to have her around again!
Mainly she was helping me meet deadlines for two massive weddings in July--both are next Saturday, one of which I will be attending as a guest. The other, I've been keeping mum about at the request of the lovely bride--she wants her stationery suite to make a big impression on her guests when they see it for the first time at the event. I've got pics in the camera waiting to share with you after the 18th.
I've been wondering how people who have full-time businesses at home, like myself, manage to blog regularly, twitter all through the day, return e-mails, update the accounting, ship orders, meet deadlines and eat lunch in a day. I really struggle with doing it all. Maybe it's because I like to structure my time and not work late into the night--are the rest of you working into the night? Or maybe it's because I'm a really bad multi-tasker! I am in awe of those of you who can keep up appearances on the social networks and operate a one-man business too. What's your secret?
Best be getting back to it--stay tuned for more pics on the latest projects!
