Crashing for a minute
Yeeehaw ! I just had lunch. It's almost FIVE PM. I snacked on a few things to keep me going, though, but I'm still amazed I didn't crash before. Most of my stuff is in place - starting tomorrow I am taking part in my city's BIG art and craft fair. It is... huge. I'm still amazed at the sheer size of the hall (there is a *parking lot* INSIDE the hall. On top of the several hundreds booths. It is a bit surreal. I don't have my own booth - I was invited by someone I know to share a collective booth (there are 18 of us, ranging from jewellry to clay to clothing and furniture). I had only planned to take the weddign stuff plus the few muffs and capelets that look bridal enough. Then this morning we unexpectedly had a few more square meters available, so there was spare room... so I drove back home and hauled out the rest of my inventory.
Now I have my t-shirts, scarves and bags out, too. And I love them, and part of me realizes I have missed them. I am rather sensitive to signs, and this... it tells me I need to find another balance between advancing my wedding dress portfolio and keeping up the work with my textile line. I think a good part of my burn-out with it at the beginning of the year was related to the people I had been networking with. I have to put a finger on what exactly was wrong, and what I can do better. It will probably invole splitting up some part of my brand communication, and keeping a slow pace on the textile line.
I'm really happy I signed up, I love the mood between the peopme there. At least one person wants to do a photoshoot with me, and possibly a second. I need to make that happen - not just a dress photoshoot, something a bit bigger.
