I've been working on something big. Well, big for me. I'm not going to show any pictures, yet, because I'm paranoid that someone will snatch the idea right out from under me, and I'll loose out on...on what, you ask? Well, that's to be determined by exactly how BIG this idea is. So, I'll share general information on it, and let you in on MY creative processes. Wow, scary idea, that.


So, this started out as a simple conversation with my husband about a little less than a year ago. How's that for vague? Good, I thought. We began the conversation like this: "what's that word I use to describe Samantha (names have, obviously, been changed)? We went from there, to what Hipster kids might or might not be wearing in the next 10 to 20 years. And we finally -- after about thirty minutes or so -- ended with this amazing idea for a collection of clothing. For really reals.

So, a dozen or so fashion sketches later, and many MANY conversations later, I have some working designs for this amazing little collection. It's still in the beginning stages, of course. And I'm not happy with ALL of my ideas, and sometime soon, may need to interject some fresh ideas from various people. Some day soon-ish, though, I may just have my very own fledgling collection of clothing that 100% me, and little tiny parts other people in my life who's ideas and creative spirit I love and respect.



I guess you could say, I'm starting this blog -- which I've started and stopped a LOT over the past two years -- to keep me on some sort of track, and to keep a record of what I'm learning and doing. Feel free to snoop around, and get some sort of joy through osmosis of the creative process.



Enjoy. And look forward to newer and more exciting posts in the future? I don't know. Maybe they won't be exciting to anyone other than myself. But I will certainly enjoy them.
