I started to make a post on Halloween, but for some reason the draft wouldn't save and the pictures wouldn't work updating from my phone! So I sort of gave up and forgot to try again until now! Here are a few detail pics of my mermaid costume I made. Took 3 tries with the fin but I am glad I didn't give up and had extra fabrics! lol
My first month working for myself was excellent. I had more clients in the first month then I did the whole 4 months I was at my last place of employment, so I am definitely no longer fearful of my choice to move ahead and work for myself! I book at least 1 appointment ahead of time per day, and I think for being relatively new to the esthetics industry, I am doing very well!
My To Do List is getting checked off at a nice, steady pace! I am quite nice and settled at Avenue Eighty-Five now, but I have also gotten more stuff organized at home and in my design space as well! Actually I don't think I have every seen that room so organized! I want to live in there now. Here is a little tour!
I have decided against doing Red dress again until next year, but have made the decision to show a small line of clothing this Spring at the NBCCD annual fashion show. Not sure exactly what yet, I have a rough idea, so I can't wait to get designing for it! :)
As for news of Fredericton Fashion Council, I am still currently looking for help, and I am finally getting around to building the blog and hope to get some extra hands to help run that! I think it could turn into something really cool!
As I mentioned before, we are turning the front porch into a boutique area for local designers to sell their wares. We should be able to have a soft launch early January, to celebrate the official home of the FFC!
We just need to winterize it (new door, fireplace, plastic on windows, curtains) but the space in general is coming along nicely! We have also talked to a few artists/photographers about filling our wall space with their art for sale!
So besides getting boring personal stuff out of the way, getting settled at work and pondering ideas for FFC and my designs, thats about it for news for now. I helped with make up/styling a friends shoot a few weeks ago, and I hope to share a few of those photos soon because they are super cute!
I will try harder to steadily update here!
Butterfly kisses,
Kayleigh
