The future?

I feel much more relaxed in myself after this trip. Yes, the future is uncertain - I WILL need to find myself a survival-income job before the end of the summer - but I am not unduly worried about it. We spend far too much time on the money mill chasing more and more of the ruddy stuff! Yes, of course it's lovely to have, and I enjoy spending it as much as the next person, but it can take over...

Whether book-making will come back into my life much I don't know: there has been the odd enquiry. My main push at the moment is to get shirt-making: people have always admired my loose, floppy shirt design, so I'm busy making up samples and such. In an ideal world they'll be made to measure, but I will have to have some 'off the peg ones too. Natural fabrics of course - linen, cotton etc.

One of the 'fun' things about starting a new venture is deciding what to call it! 'Made by Me' seemed a good one, but a) all the web domains are already taken and b) what happens when things take off and I have to get in outside help?(!) I'm working with 'Mainly for Men' now. Very apt actually as the shirts ARE primarily aimed at men, but will also suit women as well. Hey! they'd even make good maternity blouses! And of course most men are dressed by their women... I am also in the process of making an extended one as a dress for a friend.

So, watch this space... well, perhaps not this actual space... more like www.mainlyformen.com - once it's up and running!


All the best everybody - and keep in touch.
