Hootchie Mama goes live!

Been a long time since the first (and last!) blog. There is so much to be done re-branding something. Have had little sleep and little time with my family. But, I think the results are worth it.

Had 4 different events this month and had amazing feedback from everyone who's spoken to me. Had lots of suggestions and requests and also interest from retailers. Plus, lots of sales which has made my husband happy. He's still labouring under the illusion that Hootchie Money = Hooch Money. Have been secretly buying more fabric in the dead of night to stop any disappointment.

Have made myself a promise that I am going to get my head round this blogging malarky and do it weekly. Try and get a few followers; get myself promoted; take over the world.......

I would like to thank everyone though for all their help in making Hootchie Mama possible. It's been a long, hard few weeks getting everything together and we still have a long way to go to get the website to where I really want it to be, but I feel like I've turned a corner.

Am now going to shut the laptop and spend a whole day - yes, you heard right - a whole day with my family tomorrow and not go into the workroom once, not fiddle with the website or lovingly browse fabrics online. It's going to be hard and I'm sure I'll have the odd wobble, but I can do one day. And my family deserve it. They will think otherwise I'm sure after 24 hours but here goes.........
