Planning.

Hello! how nice you visit me! lots of thanks!

I was on holidays with my children in a wonderful beach town, and we had great days there. I need to rest as I felt very tired. 
In August I hope to repeat it!

I am so devoted to my work, that I have had hardly time these lasts months for others issues! But I am really happy as I see all my work is starting to bear fruit.

This holidays have made me to feel new and in good mood. Nevertheless, although I have not designed anything in these free days, I haven´t been able to be completely disconnected from my screen computer.

In the mornings having a coffee, I felt the necessity of checking my e-mails in order not to miss any of interest to me, as I receive lots of them daily. 

In fact; I had to answer a couple of them. But this fact made me feel much better than not to have a look! Even I did some of promotion at facebook and have a look to some sales tracks.

I am going to take my appointment book and to write a long to-do list. It is very helpful for me to write it! I am planning all my next future plans I want to do, and the goals I want to achieve.

My children are excited about this new high school course starting in September, and this month is also for me as the beginning of a new stage, just as 1^st January it was!

It is necessary for me to create new patterns as soon as I can!I am wondering what motives I should draw!

I am going to enter in new design contests, and to send exclusive designs to a textile magazine trying they like and publish them!

I also have some brands I would like to contact in order to license my future patterns. I would like to re-designed my blog and to open new accounts in some new Pod sites. 

I am happy as some just days ago, just returning from my holidays, some of my designs were put on sale by likemycase brand on its web. 

                                                                        
                                             http://www.likemycase.com/collection/artists/julia-grifol                     

This has been one of my last licensing agreements.They made this nice mock up photo in order to promote my designs on some social media platforms. I like the happy ones designs they chose. 

They are also selling suitcases and bags with my designs now!

I am also excited as I have also licensed some of my designs to a nice home products brand, and they will sell them on their products soon.  

Only some days ago, I received some Spoonflowers fabric swatches I ordered. 

I made several colorways of one of my design, and I coloured them thinking in children fashion. I am satisfied with the printing results.

I have told in lots of occasions, the great excitement it is to see your designs printed on fabric! I think I will choose two of these colorways and a dress maker will make two beautiful girl dresses with them.

Which of these colourways do you like most?

I am trying to take photos of real products, as in September I will be featured in a nice blog and they told me they wanted real products and not mock ups!

As I said, I am excited about all my plans… I feel I have recharged my batteries thanks to this nice holidays with my family! 

I hope you enjoy yours!!

Have a wonderful summer time and lots of work plans!
