The Best Way to Clear Your Head

Lara Neece January 30, 2015

Ever seen that skit from Portlandia? This one. That's what my brain is like by Friday and sometimes even by Wednesday - a jumble of notes, ideas, and reminders for the entire week or more. When my head is filled with so many competing thoughts, I can't make decisions. I become paralyzed. Even with a million things to do, I can't seem to focus on just one. It's time to hit reset - to instantly clear my head - time to find a great spot outside to sit and catch the sunset. It's that simple.

Bike Errands and Pattern Adjustments

Lara Neece January 22, 2015

Last week I met with a local sew shop to discuss the Bicycle Wrap Skirt project. To keep things moving along, the next step in my process is to get my professional pattern made and have marketing samples created so that I can use them in photoshoots, my Kickstarter video, and to take with me to any popup shops or events (so you guys can try them on!). I've also been going over some of the design details, which will be altered or modified in some ways before it's finalized.

New Design Feedback - One color or two?

Lara Neece January 20, 2015

I was born on the cusp of Aquarius and Pisces, so I'm naturally indecisive. Pair that with perfectionist tendencies and, well, it takes me a long time to make decisions. I need your help choosing between options for my new spring designs! I could keep dialing them in from now until June, but it'd be so much better (and faster) to get a few opinions on the matter. Please don't let me deliberate forever!

So what do you think - do you prefer the one-color or two-color red fox design above?

The Year of the Bicycle Wrap Skirt

Lara Neece January 8, 2015

While 2014 was all about development, 2015 is going to be the year of implementation - the year of the Bicycle Wrap Skirt. This week, being my first week back after a two week break, is all about reflection and projection. What that really means is that I've been making lists like a mad woman. Seriously. I've got three months until April and while that excites me to no end, it also terrifies me a little bit too. There is a lot to do between now and then!

If you've been keeping up with the progression of the skirt, then you probably already know that I am planning to launch a KickStarter in April to make the first batch of Bicycle Wrap Skirts available via pre-sale.
