Ok, so I’m feeling really anxious today. It was a really warm day today and I had to work on my business’s finances. AUGH!!! I get cranky when I’m hot and sweaty, and if I have to pay bills and write checks while sweating…watch out. It could get dangerous.
Starting a business is truly an emotional [...]

No more fairs, trade shows, or craftaculars!

That’s it. I’ve decided that I will not attend any more fairs, trade shows, or craftaculars!
The cost benefit analysis convinced me. I make more money staying home doing nothing. I know that I am a new fashion company with new brands, but it makes more sense to work the web and make phone calls than [...]

I don’t plan on ever having children. I have felt this way my entire life. Really, at the age of 18 I even thought about getting my tubes tied. Fortunately this isn’t a problem with my husband. He can go either way and I’ve always been honest about this with him.
Even though I don’t want [...]

Lindsay, thank you for being arrested at the Sean Bell demonstration. This design is inspired by you.

In California, being green is just a part of life. I grew up recycling and reusing items without a second thought to it. When I graduated from college, I worked several years at a solar energy non-profit and then at a carpooling non-profit. I’ve always seen myself as eco-conscious and socially conscious.

High quality handmade stuff is consistently turned down for the Made in China cheap alternative. It all [...]
