A Good update of whats going on!

For our class, Website for promotion, we are to blog about some of the processes of our work and post pictures and such. I'm not exactly 100% what I'm going to document yet but I'll figure it out sometime this week.

Right now I'm just trying to warm up my blogging fingers.


So here is life in a nutshell for this year.
I graduate from NBCCD in the spring with a diploma for Fine Craft and Applied Design (for Fashion Design)
Our Fashion show (name of event pending) Will be held April 16th at 7pm at the Fredericton Delta. I will have a line of 9 outfits go down the runway (including my own outfit!) As you can imagine I am very excited and very busy, as I have never created a line of clothing before, I am learning it takes A LOT of time when you are just starting out in the world of fashion design!

I could chose to go back to school in the Fall to take an advanced studies diploma year, but my boss offered me an opportunity over the Xmas break that I could not turn down.
As I have talked about here before, I work for an awesome woman named Tina Robinson at a woman's consignment boutique called Lovely Betty.
In the next month, Lovely Betty will be moving out of its dank hole at Brook Side mall, and moving into a beautiful old house on Canada St. out in Marysville.
Once I've graduated in May,I will be working there full time, and Tina is giving me a studio space in the new house!!! That way I can start working on my own business while I take care of Lovely Betty at the same time. I will also hopefully be starting a website for Lovely Betty so we can sell our vintage goods for a more proper price.

I am very excited! There is also an apartment on the side of the house that they are going to renovate and its a good chance that Scott and I might move in there. It would be very convenient in multiple ways for the both of us!!!

Things are falling together quite nicely, and because of that I feel pretty relaxed about my future, which is nice because I need that reassurance during what is a pretty stressful last few months of school.

SO its been forever since I've posted here, but I need to get in the habit of building this blog into something better and more useful. I still just want to fill it with inspirational pictures and quotes, and share my artwork on it, but I never seem to find the time to sit and write out something good. I have to try and fix it's settings too because pictures are being cut off and I'm not html suave enough to know what to do about it.

But anyway, now I plan to post AT LEAST once a week, if not more.
I want to promise I'll write every Friday evening to wrap up the week in some way, and I'll try to keep it interesting.
