getting organised

Monday, October 26th, 2009

I think I am recovered from my jet lag, thankfully helped by the extra hour, so I have absolutely no excuse for not getting on with things. Trouble is, I am so easily distracted. I‘d like to think that it is just one of the problems with a creative mind, but I really know it is just an excuse for putting off what you don’t want to do. I know, I’ll write a list that usually helps.

We have got another nice order from the swish cashmere company, so I need to cut out the fabric today in preparation for sewing tomorrow.  I have also bought some gorgeous aubergine silk to make something Christmassy with, I have got some ideas already, I really do get a buzz out of making new products.

For our customers out there who may be waiting for orders, I am getting them out as quickly as I can, but I think the postal strike is upsetting things. Thank you for your patience.

Just retuned from a short visit to Japan to visit daughter number 2, Jameelah, who is living and working there with her husband. Had a wonderful time, but seriously jet lagged, waking up raring to go at 2am and zonked by the afternoon. Hey ho.   In Tokyo we went to have a look at a very swish shop that stocks a cashmere range that uses products we have made for them. What a great feeling, little Pennine Lavender is well and truly global —Yorkshire—Japan where next.

Had a lovely event yesterday at a ladies charity luncheon in North Yorkshire. They were very elegant ladies indeed!

Victoria, daughter number 1, is helping here today, starting to think about the Christmas range. Yikes !!
