I'm getting things done this week. I just need to keep it up.
I've even sneaked in some time to embroider paisleys while cuddling
Evan at night. He giggles when the needle comes through the fabric,
chanting, "Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes…" I've got to get this on tape.
After the Sewing Summit keynote
in two weeks, I have a film crew coming to my home studio to tape an
online class. I am designing the project today, after I go over a
newsletter to introduce Lottie Da.
Of course, the fabric I am supposed to use for the class is not in the
United States yet (this is a different group of fabrics than Lottie Da).
And then the day after the shoot is my high school reunion in the San
Francisco bay area. I have to decide if I can fit that in. I don't want
to regret not going for the next decade. And I can't put off arranging
flights and hotel, so I have to decide this weekend without knowing how
I'll survive the next two weeks.
In
the mix, I would like to complete the embroidery patterns that I'm
anxious to introduce. And get things rolling along for a tradeshow in
October, followed by another fabric collection due November 1st. Oh, and
costumes for Halloween. You know that I can't let that slip. It looks like I better get some help on Lottie Da samples for Market.
As they say, one foot in front of the other. I'm not leaving my
studio much for the next few weeks. For me, it's one thought in front of
the other. So far, so good. We'll see how I feel in a few days!

Yes, you must get that sweet voice on tape saying “here it comes” before it’s gone.
If I can help in anyway – let me know! Except on the embroidery…still need to practice/perfect that skill.
Looking fun!
Oh goodness your plate is full. Your fabrics and embroidery designs are gorgeous though!! I wish my daughter and I were somewhere near you, we’d help with samples for sure!!
You are one busy lady! If I didn’t love everything you do, I’d tell you to slow down! Praying you figure out how to balance all of this!
Heather we should do lunch while you are in Utah! đŸ™‚
There needs to be an 8th day in the week!
We are looking forward to the embroidery patterns (especially the labels đŸ™‚ )
What’s the saying? “If you want to get something done ask a busy person to do it!” I love paisley!!
I haven’t heard that before — but boy, is it true! —Heather
That sounds lovely. It might have to be dinner. Let me resolve my schedule a little better and see where I have flexibility. —Heather
Your work is fabulous and so lovely…
Way to go!

Oh wow! You’ve got a lot on your plate! I wish I could come sew samples for you to share some of the load (and play with pretty fabric!!!). Hang in there. November will come and you can breathe a huge sigh of relief.
And you have GOT to get a video of the embroidery…here it comes….here it comes…. Oh my gosh so stinkin’ cute!
All of your work is nothing less than spectacular. This season of life I am letting go of old, trying new techniques, arts and paths of creativity and just being grateful for all the blessings. You have sparked something inside me and I am very
Excited about it. Thank you
You have a lot going on! The good news is you have a huge support system here and I’m sure there are more then a few ladies willing to sew for you. And I would love to see that video. So cute!
First fabric now embroidery? We are so spoiled! Congratulations Heather on your Lottie Da range. It is truly fantastic.
so exciting tomsee the new fabric line, can’t wait to get my hands on some xxx
Your embroidery is lovely! I usually do more embroidery as the weather cools—your patterns may be just the thing!
