Excuses, excuses

Excuses, excuses
What’s this? I think I’m the boss of this blog, and yet I feel it necessary to write a note motivating for a bit of time off. Methinks I’ve created a monster, but here goes anyway:

Dear Blog

I need to take just a couple of days off, and I’m do hope you’ll understand why I say this when I explain my circumstances.

Last week was a total writeoff, as I was attending the Design Indaba, blogging it for ELLE DECORATION while trying to run business as usual, update catalogues, supervise workers paving the driveway and move studios. So I have some catching up to do.

On the studio issue, it’s in utter disarray. I’m trying to move some of my things in my current studio into my new space, which is almost right next door to my current space, but separated by a studio mate. Sounds odd because it is, but the cheap rent justifies the poor spacial arrangements. At the same time, all my new fabric – that’s almost 1500m of it – has arrived and I’m trying to work out where to put it (see teaser pic above. More soon).

Also, I have to deliver an illustrated talk at the CCDI on Wednesday, and I haven’t even started.

So please, can I take just a few days off?

Many thanks, Heather
