I have been designing and running my company (companies) on a full-time basis for 2 years now and it never ceases to amaze me how busy it gets for me in the fall. It seems like once I hit my birth month (September), I come off of a some what slow summer and then have to run on maximum capacity until May.
It was worse when I was working in the accounting profession and working grueling tax seasons. I would come home exhausted, but had wedding gown orders to fill and sometimes wouldn't sleep or unfortunately get sick.
This season, I am making a vow to keep up my health my priority during my busy season and focus on being productive everyday. I know myself well enough to understand that when I get busy, I put all my time in my work even if it means pulling an all-nighter.
I'm not afraid to announce since I turned 30, things have become clearer to me. My body likes the routine of waking up between 6:30-7:30am every morning (including weekends). Exercising to get my work day going and sewing until bed-time. My dreams will no longer wait for things to happen, I have learned that as long as I have the day I will seize it and do what I have to do to be the rich and famous designer I was meant to be!

We share the same birth month! Your dresses (and models) are gorgeous. Interesting that the Fall season is busier for you than others, esp. since we always think of the summer as the "wedding months." I love reading your blog, as I am an aspiring designer. Two years and running. Wow! I'm totally rooting for you!
Thank you so much, your message couldn't come sooner : ). In Arizona, since it's so hot the summers just kill the bridal industry. But anywhere else, June still remains to be the most popular month for marriage : ). When I move to Seattle in a few years, I think I may have re-adjust my seasons - hehehe.
I'm already married, happily so, so no need for a dress. =*(
HOWEVER... my baby sister (not really a baby anymore...) may be getting married soon. I already promised I'd foot the bill for her dress. I'll be calling you when her beau pops the question!! ;-)
