What a doozy!! This week absolutely used me up and spit me out. I have such a problem with getting back in the groove after a break. I’m wondering if everyone experiences this or if it has something to do with being self-employed. Without the insane holiday volume, I’ve caught myself with a hanging jaw, staring at the wall with a massive holiday hangover, thinking about…nothing? OR playing online Scrabble, when I should be organizing my life and coming up with my coolest designs yet.
But with a killer feature, exhilarating rehearsals, my first international boutique order (lookout Dutch beauties, b & i is coming to the Netherlands), and amazing growth, I have absolutely nothing to complain about and I need to get my butt in gear!
What better to increase the pep in my step than Grandma and Cowboys??

Hi Betsy, Thank you for mentioning Margaret & Oliver’s! And, congrats, congrats on getting the gig with the Dutch. That’s wonderful!
Thanks again, love the outfit, and hopefully I’ll see you soon.
To Inspiration in 2010!

You look stunning!
yeah, doesn’t have anything to do with being self-employed, except the ability to access Facebook at work…
I want to give you a big hug in that sweater! Also, I think those earrings need to be mine. And I have to check that Margaret & Oliver’s out!
