I always love September. With fall on the way and the kids in school, it feels like a time of renewal. This year has been no different especially with the official launch of my new company MiniLou. I just got back from our very first tradeshow. It's been a whirlwind, but I'm excited for everything that we are trying to accomplish.
Of course, my two little companies are experiencing growing pains, but that's part of it, right? I'm always trying to learn how to better prioritize, get organized, and balance family with work. It's such a struggle. One of the things I struggle with is updating this blog. That means that my priority is to update you with new releases and designs—which means I hardly get a chance to tell you about my joys and struggles. Maybe some of you love that. Maybe some of you wished I would share more.
Either way, I hope you know how much I appreciate all the support you have given me. Whether it is through the emails sent to me, classroom forums, or the little tidbits I hear at a meeting (my assistant Susan just told me this morning that through our fabric sale someone was able to buy fabrics for a project for cancer patients...my heart was so filled with joy!), I feel so blessed to be able to do this for a living.
Hoping you are having a wonderful September too and that your life is filled with joy and love!
