Tradeshow

Well I've had a few days to recover from the madness and time to reflect on how it went. Overall it was quite disappointing mainly because the turnout was so poor. But there are positives to take from the experience, mainly: Having a deadline to aim for, meeting some really nice people and learning some insider knowledge. I did also make a few leads so there's still a chance I'll get close to making back the investment!

Didn't I say I'd keep you up to date!

Photoshoot

It's been a mental couple of weeks and this week will be no exception. The tradeshow starts on Sunday so the finishing touches and preparations are under way. Just to make things more complicated I've just had a load of freelance work which hasn't made things easy and some of the things I'd wanted to do before the show, but could have waited, are being pushed back.

Some of the t-shirt colours that I showed you last time have now changed because when the samples came back they just didn't work well together as a collection. This again causes problems as I had a photoshoot scheduled which went ahead but we'll need to re-shoot with the new samples, which are being printed tomorrow.

I've got a hefty list of things to get on with and late nights ahead but I will endeavour to show you progress along the way.
