It's 3:30 in the morning....do you know where your corset-maker is?


This is me singing along with "Bleeding Love"

By the way, I was REALLY going to be a singer before I gave up that dream and became a corset-maker.

Just wanted to drop in a few notes here!

*Everyone that buys something from now until the end of February will be getting sweet Valentine's Day cards from us with coupons on them.

*I AM working on the "Design a Corset Contest", I've just been slightly sidetracked from it for the last week. I want to have all the rules up by the end of next week.

*Since we sat down and had a business meeting about how many festivals I was doing this year and what I needed for my inventory, we figured that ALL I HAVE TO DO is sew 700 corsets. Phew! Not hard at all. Especially since I have so little else to do.....I mean, doing all of the custom orders, keeping my online shops stocked with goodies, and being some vague kind of wife and mom? Sure, I can do it all.

*Which brings me to my next item of business. I just wanted you guys to know that I am seriously committed to this company. I have been faithfully waking up at 3:30 in the morning to get to work. I pretty much go to bed at 7 or 8, like a total loser, and then get up at that unearthly hour. The GREAT part is that I'm getting AMAZING things accomplished, because there's so many uninterrupted hours in there that I can work! The bad part is that I feel like a total slave to my sewing machines....but oh, well. 700 corsets won't make themselves!

*Therefore, if you guys get frustrated with me because I'm not performing at peak levels, just remember that I actually AM performing amazingly well....it's just probably not in the area you want me to be.

yay for corsets.

  12. Yay for singing in the wee hours. Can't imagine the hours in front of the sewing machine, I think my body would develop arthritis just to make me take a break. I hope things are going well for you. ^.^
