Can't wait to get this bad boy organizer hung up in the studio. Those who are close to me know that I don't "do" power tools so I'ma need to sucker someone into feeling sorry for me to get those holes drilled into my cement wall.

The navy velvet corners are now getting sewn onto the ends of all the blue arches. If there was any way I could've made this already-challenging step harder, it would be to sew it in velvet. Thanks a lot, ambition. I mean at least it's not stretch velvet...yeah, not stretch velvet. Keep telling yourself that, Ann.

I can't believe that I was able to participate in NY Fashion Week and NOT live in NYC! I peacefully fretted over my work last weekend and let the crazies go north to fret during the week. While I'm just doing the technical aspects of putting on a fashion show, I could't be more excited for myself. I made the dress on the left and the pants on the right. Everything designed by Victor and Sarah Lytvinenko of Raleigh Denim.
