Ideas/Designs/Plans

So as it turns out, I'm not as prepared for my business as I thought. I knew I still needed a logo design and banner for etsy shop and professional photos taken of all my products, but what I didn't know was how much research I needed to do for my product titles and descriptions using "keywords" and "tagging". Man I was way behind.

Thanks to some lovely people at etsy.com I think I'm well on my way. I still need my logo designed and photos taken, (both of which are being worked on), things are slowly coming along. And once my logo is designed, my brothers own a Design & Printing company so anything I need printed will be done with LOVE. - Thanks George&Michael!! - ALSO, I plan to have Corrabelle turn my logo design into a gorgeous stamp for my packaging.

My amazingly talented partner Darcy is working on my design, he is sketching it as I type. It is fantastic, I can't wait to share it with the world!!

MY LIST:

  • Logo
  • Banner
  • Photos
  • Stamp
  • Stickers
  • Flyers
  • Business Cards
So excited about it all. (I am also working on some new ideas... very excited)

Designs

This piece goes with almost anything. Wear it casual or dressy, it will make any outfit look gorgeous!

Each chipboard button is super-glued onto felt. 

(I did not make the buttons.)

This piece is a gorgeous bold statement. 
Each piece is carefully hand-sewn. 

For a more dramatic effect, wrap this pieces tightly around the neck. It can then be tied wherever you want it, either the front, side or back. For a more loose fitting, simply wear it like you would a scarf.

Autumn Love

Although technically it is now Winter, we are finally getting our Autumn season. The leaves are starting to change colour and fall, the streets are lined with gorgeous brown/red leaves. It is definitely my favourite time of the year. I took the most beautiful photo today.. 
<---This is what I get to see everyday as I walk from my car to work... it makes me so happy!
So since this photo was taken, I've been in love with warm, hue tones. I am going to work on a whole range of neckpieces in these colours and follow this theme.

LOOK OUT FOR IT

Lady Bow P... is ME!!

This is how they look on...

Things I need to do.

I have almost everything organized for Lady Bow P. All I really need to do now is have beautiful photos taken of my neckpieces so I can add them to my online store and get this show on the road...

  • I need a photographer, a setting and a model!!
  • I then need a website built. I'm just not happy with the one I'm using now and I don't want to pay $20 a month!!!
  • An invoice/receipt  book is needed as is a visit to my accountant and the bank!
I guess I need a lot done.. Slowly but surely, I'll get it done.
