Drawing and drawing and drawing ....

Hand drawn 51 pieces for the final collection, now just about to do all of this again in illustrator...
So much to do and so little time to accomplish it. This is very stressful !!

Plan of attack !

This is the last week of the Master and here I am building on a strategy to go through the next 4 weeks of my life and hopefully produce a final master project that will correspond to my standards. Time for a plan of attack !!
Hard, yes very hard as I feel so much like relaxing, putting my feet up and do absolutely nothing....I am exhausted and really fed-up.
Hey !!! I did not spend that tremendous amount of money and waisted all my evenings of the past 9 months to give up now!! So Ladyee, get the motto back to work and get it done !!
Wish me luck, the road is long :-/

In progress

I have rationalised my stress of the other day and I am now trying to do one bit at a time. Anyway I am no wonder women so I can't do everything in same time.
Yesterday I had a financial tutorial about costsheets and other aspects I need to think about while setting up a business... That was useful.
Today I took the time to enjoy the sun, rode to the center and discovered this interesting place : Eliurpi
This little taller-shop is run by its own designer Eli Urpi. This is perfect for my visual merchandising project I thought. This boutique instantly got my eyes attention, cosy, charming vintage style, so inviting !!! Shame it was not opened when I passed by, but never mind, there is a website and a blog where I intend to get in contact with the designer and see what more this charming rincon can offer.
 

Back at home and full of new tools and toys I can play with, I tried myself at watersoluble pencils illustration....huuummm definitely need to progress on that :$
Well now inserted an invisible zip with my new special machine foot... Not bad for a first time, I am quite proud of myself...



Now back to work while the positive spirit still shines !! :-)

The Finishing line

Who would have thought that it would be that hard ??!!!
I knew I was not going to enjoy it fully but I never thought that I would be in the brick of the depression. Really!!
I don't know if it's because managing a fulltime job plus evening school plus tonnes of homework well the whole situation that is driving me nuts or it is because I am deeply disapointed by the school and that is leaving me really puzzled or it's because summer is coming, a lot of festivals and activities in perspective and everybody seems to have fun but not me, because I don't have the luxury of the time to have fun...I don't know but I feel quite sad and I don't know what to do to get better. Maybe time will help.
This is the finishing line, there are only 3 weeks left of school but my stress level is reaching hights: I feel that I am not doing enough, I am so late on every project but I am so tiered and really can't do more that I am already doing. I believe it would be almost impossible to get everything done by the time I have left.
Maybe I am being too ambitious and need to reduce my wishes? I certainly need help! I had my boyfriend doing all the "house management" so I can focus on my design homework, I even had my family helping me on a tremendous project... Is that enough ?! Not so sure, the list of things is never ending.
I am meeting with someone today which I hope will be of great help and will provide me with experts hands.
Will see, my hope is huge!

Spring is in the place

Kids are flirting, skirts get shorter, hair are floating with the wind, and with it the hoard of tourists .... Yes spring is here ! Finally !!

What a pleasure to walk in the street without a jacket, and to feel the sun slightly burning the skin... I love spring, the excitement that it brings and that soon summer will be here :-)

But the only downside of this is that my workload also goes crecendo and so until the 18th July, presentation of the final master project.
I sware I will throw a party just to celebrate the end of my hard labour, I so need it ! :-P B-)

I am on holiday :-)

Yes it's true I am on holiday but it took me up to now to realise it. Is this never happened to you before, that you are so busy that you don't even see the holidays coming ???!!
Well hummm for me this is the 2nd time. There is something wrong with me.
I slept until 9 am not bad not bad. I have downloaded blogger app so I can write more spontaneous post on the go like this one. And I just realised that there is some actions going on, on the rooftop of the building in front of my house .... they are recording a movie. And I have been watching them in my best night gown outfit (means my ideous red pyjama) for a good 10 min .....ouuuuucccchhhh I hope I am not appearing in the camera spot :$
