I had completely cleaned up my studio at the beginning of the year and though there were plastic tubs of fabric in another room and boxes of supplies that lined one wall because I didn’t have anywhere else to put them, I was feeling pretty good about things. Then in the first four months of the year I had to prepare booth samples for two shows in January, design and create multiple projects (with step-outs) for two TV tapings in February and March and finally prepare for three more shows in April. Oh, and there was a trip to the Philippines thrown in the middle of all that. The end result was a complete disaster in my studio!
