*cough cough*

No, no. That wasn't a hint. That was the sickness going around over here.

This is Jess again... you're probably tired of me... two in a row... get over it :)
A and I are both taking online classes for college, since the nearest college is an hour away and we didn't feel like driving that much this semester. A is taking more classes than I am, and has a baby, and therefore has less time to do things like blog than I do... :-D

Just a little update about what's been up here-
I've been sick, so my life has been quite boring BUT I have still been planning things.
Saturday, the day I got sick, we were in the booming metropolis of Santa Fe with a friend, wedding-dress-shopping (YESS. Girl time). We ALSO picked out the fabric for the bridesmaids dresses we're making for said-friend's wedding- and its gah-orgeous.

That's the best picture I could get with my phone :) But really, they're super-pretty and luckily, on sale!

We also visited a new store in the Taos area on Thursday... I think... in which we actually felt "in our element"! It's called Substance, and it's rockin. We're talking Alexander Wang, James Perse, Marc Jacobs, and other such delights. Speaking of, this Saturday (the fifth) we are planning on running around to local stores and "peddling" (or at least that's how it feels) our designs and pieces to the eclectic folks who live around here. Luckily, since we make our clothes out of vintage items and fabrics, we are considered eco-friendly, and New Mexico looooooves its eco-people.
Not gonna lie to you, we weren't going for eco. Not that we don't love the environment... it's been a great place to live and we'd like it to stick around for awhile. But what we were really doing (many moons ago before we started thinking business-wise) was learning to sew and doing it cheap. Now that we are selling the newly reconstructed clothes, we're finding it's cheaper to sell them that way too... so here we are, an eco-friendly company, and probably the only one who did it on accident!

So wish us luck as we talk to business owners on Saturday (we wont mention the accidental-eco if you wont) and as we start making the bridesmaids dresses! Ooo.. speaking of, here's a quick shot of the sketches A did for the dresses...

Let us know what you think, and we'll let you know how Saturday goes!
