I'm going with a citrus- inspired palette:
olive green, cantaloupe and yellow ochre with cream and grey.
Here's a storyboard I put together this morning to get it into my head:
I should have samples in a couple of months. Can't wait!!

designing for spring '08
I'm procrastinating. I have about 24 hours to finish designing for spring and here I am writing a blog. I've decided to narrow my focus even more by doing only outerwear and dresses. I had designs for a high-waisted A-line skirt and a cute belted blouse but I've decided that separates are too much of a liability for my limited budget. Here are a couple of sketches of what I'm working on:

in the throes...
Wow. Has it really been only a month since that last post? It feels like every minute of my life has been so jam-packed with things to do, things that should've been done, and things that demand my immediate attention, it seems more like 3 months.
The shipment came in just fine. a few snags with customs as I was "randomly picked" for yet another intensive search. Getting the shipment into my place required some serious elbow grease. At one point, I actually thought I might die of overexertion. It took two full days afterwards to feel like I had the energy to lift a glass of water. And that was even after I tipped the truck driver a lot of money to help with half of it.
I've been busy rounding up new shops, tending to old accounts and changing the way I do business with others. to date I've shipped out 130 cardigans, 143 wool coats, 160 dresses.... and still so much more to go. I'm really building a relationship with the postal workers around here.
Speaking of shops, my line is now available online at http://www.petaline.net Be sure to also check out my sweet friend's handbag line, Sabrina Love, on Petaline. Sabrina makes the most gorgeous high-end bags you've ever seen.
Well, as predictable as this may sound, I'm tired and need to go to bed now.
I'm working on my spring 08 line and will post photos of samples as soon as I can.
Here are some shots from the 08 resort collections that caught my eye. Simple. Elegant, Feminine. Love it.
