Anyone out there?
Gee, I'm so faithful to this blog. I admit 2006 was wild and kept me so busy that I pretty much gave up trying to be crafty creative. I had to dust off my dress form the other day and realized that I needed to gt back into the swing of things.
First up, I need to get out my plans for 2006 for sewhautecouture.com and reconfigure for 2007.
I did, however, get to buy a Wacom tablet and my sketching skills are improving daily. Another software tool I found the other day (that works with my Wacom tablet) was Curio, which allows you to collage images electronically, rather than cutting pictures from magazines (I have spent hours doing this) as my image files are stuffed. Curio lets me do it without the physical files and I'm having a great time!
In semi-related news, I designed and wrote a kid's sticker storybook last month for a Canadian publisher and it awakened my designing gene again. I also have an antique apron fetish going and found an old pattern that I want to try and tweak into something useable.
So here's my plan:
July 2007
I intend to have sewhautecouture.com redesigned and up, with a proper Wordpress blog and forum ready for use.
September 2007
I'll have the first ebook done and edited and ready for your consumption. I've been pouring over the hundreds of questions you've sent over the past year and have an ebook series planned, plus a home training course for people preparing to enter design school or who are interested in competing on Project Runway (skills-centric). But that's for 2008.
In the meantime, I'll get myself back in gear and get some pictures of projects that I'm working on up here. I appreciate your patience and may 2007 be the year this site flourishes!

I stumbled upon your blog, I will be watching for exciting things to come! I am a huge Project Runway fan myself.
Stumbled onto this blog. As I am a closet designer, and have been for a very, very long time, I will read everything. Maybe there will be an idea I can share with others.
I have also "stumbled" upon your blog, on my way to About.com's sewing site. I took sewing lessons for a couple of months and then had to quit when I got my new job. Now I am really itching to get back to sewing, and Project Runway isn't helping! I am a PR addict! I hope that I can learn some things and continue to be inspired!
