no pressure



























so lucky indeed
finishing up the 'green sleeves' for my first ever order
felt extremely good, delivering them was even better

i took them up to santa barbara today and was just a little bit worried,
would they still be happy to recieve three dozen sleeves? would they be happy with
my effort? they were and they were. yes!


tonight i'm looking forward to catching up, getting to the unread magazines that arrived in the mail days ago. i'm looking forward to journaling, drinking wine, working a few more rows on my neglected shawl. no deadlines, no pressure.  for a little anyway. i think i heard in the shop today there may be another order soon. oh mercy me.
:)

happy monday, happy week everyone,

    How did you manage to do them ALL on your own?! You sure must soon employ some helpers! But great, they look so pretty and unique, I bet they were happy, your clients!

    Now do it, relax and drink some wine, and we will all try to entertain you! Love from Geli in sunny Germany

    Oh Lori they were ALL BEAUTIFUL!!! (of course they were NORO....drool! slurp!)
    And I knew that had to be one of Pam delightful creations giving the box the official send-off blessing!
    The store looks like a wonderful place to roam and get lost in....for hours.
    Congrats on the order, filling it, and a lovely-lovely shoot of the final product!

    They look gorgeous all together, I love things in bulk, just beautiful. The store looks wonderful but I know those feelings of doubt when you present your handmade items. "Here is a piece of *me, I hope you like it"

    I'm glad you're relaxing and basking in the glory but I think you'll be knitting more "Green Sleeves" soon.

    congratulations! xoxo

    They are presented so beautifully, and the colors are delicious as french macaroons. Looks like perfect place for them and I will try and get there next time I'm in Santa Barbara. 909 State is easy to remember.
    THEY are so lucky!

    Lori, the sleeves look great. It must feel satisfying to get the first ever order.

    It's been cool being "with you" since the beginning -- that very first sleeve. Awesome my friend!

    They look gorgeous but you are going to have to start a tiny little kind and gentle sweat shop! or else a little machine that can make them (remember spool knitting?)
    but really - wonderful news about the order and more to come.

    teehee...Olive makes a sweet supervisor :)

    Lori, the sleeves look amazing, and I agree about the presentation! Wow, so professional. I'm not surprised there will be future orders.

    I want to go to that wonderful shop! I love boutiques, and I love the green concept they carry throughout.

    Yay you!!

    Sip slowly and linger over the things you wish to catch up on.

    No pressure is a good thing ;)

    They look FABULOUS! (and I get compliments every time I use mine at my local Starbucks.) I hope they sell out in a matter of days (I was gonna say minutes but I think you need a few more days off) and that everything is well with you. I'm so glad things are progressing so well! (now go enjoy that wine.)

    lori, until tonight i only saw this post on my iphone. now that i see your display on the big screen i am tickled pink! (and green and blue and red). your layout is so cool!!!

    it's obvious that this store deserves you. what a classy place. i notice more than one comment mentioning 'help' to handle future orders. ahaha! where is that happy knitter who wants parttime piecemeal knitting work? (keep your eyes open, you know the universe works that way!)

    so so happy for you lori. and it's just the start...
