The first week of working through the day was very strange indeed. There was no worrying about the sound of the machines waking anyone up, I could listen to music without headphones and have a coffee while I work!! The home life / work balance is still in the adjustment period and I have sorted out a wee schedule to try and manage my time better, 6 hours slips away so quickly especially when you are trying to clean and work. So for the moment I am still sitting hand sewing and stuffing at night until the routine is established.
I spent yesterday painting a new doll and there are a few tweaks needed before I can allow her to dry fully, there is a very sweet backstory to this doll which has been run by my kids and they love it. The fabric for her outfit should arrive next week and it will take a lot of work to get on par with the design.
I am still working on the next few pages for the website and the artwork to go with it, I have so many ideas that would do well and it is making it very difficult to whittle down to the ones that will work. There have been a few suggestions to have a design for each page and it was found to be a bit busy and off putting when they were given a sneak peak at it, I was expecting it to be honest as I didn't find it visually pleasing but it did spark an idea for a layout. Huge thanks to those who gave me feedback on the mock website, it was literally an eye opener wasn't it.
I mentioned that I was working on a side project to run along side Pretty Darn Perfect and it has moved into the planning stages! Having looked at the ideas and if the planning goes well I will be able to make it part of Pretty Darn Perfect officially! I am not setting an official time scale for this project as things are busy enough around here just now but everything going well you should all start seeing a few sneak peaks around the middle of September. It is the first time I have been brave enough to move this idea forward and I am really looking forward to revealing it when it is complete.
