Jerry and I had a late night meeting to talk about our current position. The result? Well, we actually feel pretty good about it. I mean, the anxiety is still there just a tad but at least our outlook for the next couple of weeks is a positive one. Achievable, that is.
We have 3 more styles cut and ready for my mom to sew. That really puts us over the hump in the area of sample making. Great news there! We have 2 programs left to cut, which equals 6 styles. Shirley is on the table today, Ellen is slated for tomorrow....just as soon as we buy the yellow Rit dye that we need to color match Ellen's fabric to the rest of the programs.
Friday night, we're spending the evening creating our storyboard for next weekend's photo shoot. We will be pulling photos, magazine inspiration, cuttings of the fabrics and lace, plus photos of furniture and/or settings to use as inspiration for our backdrop. We are also planning to buy the shoes for our shoot...just as soon as we decide which model is wearing which style/color so we know what color and size to buy in her shoes!
Saturday, we are meeting with our photographer/set designer. We also need to book the hotel rooms but depending on if we forgo the hotel room photo shoot as the backdrop for the second part of our photo shoot, we may or may not need a fancier hotel room....so we have to first wait to meet with our photographer to get direction on which hotel to book.
Sunday, sew.
Monday is a HOLIDAY!! WOO HOO!! So, need to make the most of it. If we don't find a hair/makeup person to help us out, we'll be doing it ourselves. That means buying the tools to achieve the look we want for hair/makeup. PLEASE, OH, PLEASE....if you know someone willing to help us out for hair/makeup, let us know!! We are offering credit on our website and all the photos to use in their portfolio. Pay? Well....maybe next season when we are turning a profit (we hope).
Tuesday, sew.
Wednesday all sales samples should be complete. We need this to happen. We MUST get photos out to the showrooms asap if there is any chance we'll have representation for the Fall 2011 market. Really holding our breath on this one....
Friday, we'll have a late night fitting with the models, just as soon as they arrive.
Saturday is our BIG DAY! Then it all continues rolling from there....
See you tomorrow and thanks for reading!
