It's been a big month in preparation for this next week. I keep forgetting how hard these final weeks get with budgeting. A brand of my size should not be doing collections of 10+ cut and sew items especially when I'm paying for Australian manufacturing, but I still do.
I've started to feel the pressure with deadlines closing in, budgets getting little to nothing. Each time I take on a project this big I feel humbled by the difficulty in the final weeks. Still trying to keep a high standard but also knowing when to pivot is a very fine line I'm not sure I've mastered yet.
What I do know is that the stress of these final weeks will help me grow. Ready to soak up this weekend and drop night on the following Wednesday but also ready to reflect and improve from this latest challenge.
Can't wait to see the fruits of these growing pains.
