Where in the world is Evitt?

I bet you have been wondering where I’ve been…I also bet you’ve said to yourself “Where is that girl?! Gah! I bet she’s laying around being a Diva.” Well I can’t disagree with the latter - guilty as charged (I’m a Diva everyday — just ask my husband!) ;-) But in my defense I have been busy. I’ve been studying all the fall fashion trends and colors so I can plan my bag and jewelry collection. I don’t want you Divas buying out-of-date fashion trends! I’ve got some good information to share with you on that — look for it in upcoming posts. Then I created inspiration collages of all the colors and images I saw in the magazines. I sat on the floor, surrounded myself with pictures torn out of magazines, snipped, snipped, snipped them into shape, categorized them by color, and then glued them to the boards. Then I started taking little snippets of my fabric and added them to the collages so I can visualize the fabric on the various designs. I also picked up a bunch of fabric on Thursday that I had special ordered. It’s so pretty!!! I can’t wait to start making pretty little creations with it. I love the names of fabrics: Classico Scroll, Delizia Bark, Fancy Dot Java…doesn’t that sound delicious!?

The only yucky task I am still working on is the inventory database. Gosh do I ever hate doing that! Seriously, I am like a little kid sitting at the dinner table staring at a pile of peas — can’t get up until they are all gone! I’ll sit at the computer and get a little start and then I’ll get pouty and go look at a website. How rediculous am I?? (Don’t answer that!) I’ve got to get over that mental block! Grrrr!!!! (sigh) :-(

I have to admit that I have intentionally avoided the computer as much as possible because I find myself getting sucked into a time warp — before I know it I have lost hours to email and websites. I just can’t believe how quickly time flies by! I tell ya, if you ever work for yourself you will find that time ZIPS by at an intense speed! While that sounds really great compared to the long weeks spent in those offices, it’s very scarey for someone like me. Because every time a week flies by that I’m not selling anything means I’m not making money. Fortunately money isn’t an issue right now but I must say that it concerns me in the future. But I think I needed this reality check because it proves to me that I really need to be more efficient and intense with my time in order to be really productive. Life’s a lesson and I try not to learn things the hard way. So I’m really going to turn up the dial on my productivity and get things shakin!

I hope you are having a great week! I’m going to go work on the dreaded inventory database again. (sigh) Or maybe I’ll got look at a website…. ;-) Just kidding! I’ll try to be better about posting new info. I have some really great articles to share with you about fall fashion and how to pick the right bag and jewelry.

Kiss, kiss dahling!

P.S.
I did get a sample of what the labels will look like. I should have them in a couple of weeks. When I get those little babies then things are really going to get rockin’ around here! Below are the sample images they sent me. The difference between A and B is the type of thread used for the stitching of the company name. I chose B because I thought the stitching looked a little bolder and didn’t have as many little gaps. What do you think?
