I sit here eating leftover Christmas snacks and drinking my leftover champagne from last night (really French champagne I might add, I splurged to celebrate this past year as it felt like it was not all bad).
I have to say, I am really excited about the next 12 months to see how my progress works out and how far I am able to come compared to last year.
The last month of 2021 was very stressful, and it became apparent I was not going to meet my deadline. My bag manufacturer came back to me and told me that the costing for prototype production had tripled and that the manufacturer would not be able to start until the end of February at least.
And my contact that was referred to me regarding the manufacturer of my scarf wound up ghosting me. We had a few good phone calls and conversations, he even texted my some material to be used for the prototype and planned to come over my house. Then he just never showed up. He never responded to my texts and I am not sure that I will ever know what happened, perhaps he has become ill with covid.
Regardless, I have had to push through and carry on with new plans and a new timeline.
Which is why I have now decided that I want to make it my Business New Year’s Resolution to document this process as much as possible.
My memory is shocking with my epilepsy medication, so I want to be able to journal as much of this process so that I am able to look back in 10 years time if I am successful and remember the journey and how far I have come.
I also have bought a whole range of business and books in Fashion that I want to start reading, I used to be an avid reader, but have just not been able to keep up with it for years. I need to get back into it.
Anyway, I am off or now, my next task on my to do list is to sketch 10 more ideas, should I ever make it to releasing a second collection ahahah
