Hi Lovelees! 

Goodness April is just zooming past! 

I haven't been able to set time aside for drafting a little update and I figured I should do that now whilst I have a few extra minutes this morning! 

I've been running extra slow the past few months, with only having the 2 full days a week to work on studio, its just alot of work spread out. I've been especially tired because we've been pretty busy at my job as well. We've had around 15 new performers this year, with around 15 at the end of 2024 as well. Since I had been promoted to a senior pattern-maker back in November, its been alot of adjusting. So on top of learning the basics of the show and its performers, I jumped in to a senior role after only 6 months. It's all great stuff, but again, I'm just mentally tired and wish I could be off for months to finish out my orders. If we count my days, I've only had around 30 full days of studio work this year so far and it's not enough. 

I've been trying rotating staying up late, and waking up early, I still don't know what I prefer. I've used all vacation days as soon as I got them and I still take an extra day here and there. I have also been bulk making certain sizes to push faster. 

I currently have around 60 corset shells made, all remaining daredevils, some captains and barnes, (both kinds) so finishing those up with their boning, linings and more is what I'm working on currently. 

I've been shipping singles sometimes as they are made or as my studio gets too cluttered so that's been a nice little reset that I do. I'm pushing as much as I can, when I can, and look forward to the finish line. I also look forward to making this all my passion project again since I have a career. I really look forward to that. 

I'll try to post a little blog every other day or when I have news! 

Otherwise, I hope your year is off to a great start!
