I made a to-do list the other day and filled in all the stuff we have already created. I love checking things off and seeing our progress! Soon we have to turn out attention to legal matters. That will be amazing to get out of the way, as neither Jessica nor I are very fluent in legal-speak.
On a side note - Fashion week is soon approaching and we can't wait! More on that later. . .

Christina's update
I have been meaning to do this for a while too. . . So, I have also been busy crocheting up a storm! Pretty much any free time I have, you will find me with a project. I even brought it along with me to a Second Runway meeting at Goodwill last week! Speaking of which, Jessica and I plan to show two looks in the Second Runway show, which will be just a few days after our own on September 18th. Here is a little more about that:

So, here is where I am at with my projects: I started with first business look because that was the yarn that arrived first. I made at least one of everything, but have since put it on hold. I am thinking about doing something different with an accent, so we'll see! Also, I will need more yarn to finish the sets.
I am currently working on the first look. It made sense at the time to just go in order, but we'll see! I can get sick of something pretty easily too, so it's nice to be able to mix it up! I have two pieces done so far. It doesn't sound like a lot, but if you saw them, you would understand why they took so long:)
I think that's all for now . . . our 'presentation' got a very positive response at the party last night, so we will continue on with that nice boost!

Lots of work some interesting some not so much
Jessica here. :) Well it has been awhile since either one of us wrote anything but we haven't been sitting around. We have been touching on quite a few things some of them interesting and some not so interesting but very important.
The not so interesting things have been time lines, and legal business issues. We have had a few meeting in between the fun stuff to get this stuff done. You don't need to know the details but it is getting done so more assurance that we aren't going to fall flat on our faces before we even take off.
The fun stuff. I have almost finished coloring the illustrations but all of our yarn came in and knitting and crocheting has been way more fun. I have almost finished all the pieces for the second look in our line up including different color ways and multiples of each piece. I have also been working on one of the two sweaters that we have in the line. I have a final pattern and am almost done with the work. It has become so big though it doesn't fit in my knitting bag so it is something that I am only working on while at home.
We are also on a model hunt and are hoping to get our models set in the next two months so that when we move into our studio we will have everything ready to go.
The Oscars are tomorrow and Christina and I are throwing a party for a few of our close friends and are going to show some of our line. It is very exciting to be able to get a little bit of an outside view before we start working on producing the line. Now that means that I have to spend a lot of time today and tomorrow not only working on party preparations but also on finishing coloring the illustrations so we have finished looks to show our friends. So I am off to work on that. Christina will update you on the awesome stuff that she is working on. :)
