Wow! This summer has been sooooo busy, just like summer always is. From burgers on the grill, to sun-bathing, to celebratory glasses of champagne, we have really been having tons of fun. But, we are making sure to balance work and play.
We are super excited to announce that we have three shows coming up in the next two months! Liz Niemeyer has organized the Morning Times Market, which Flutter will be participating in the first Friday of August and the first Friday of September. We have also been accepted into Raleigh's 5th annual SPARKcon. Flutter will be a part of bazaarSPARK which will be held on Saturday, September 18th.
With lots to do in the next several weeks, it's time to turn on Pandora and hoard our favorite snacks into the underground studio of hibernation. Betty, Sheila, White, and Peggy. . . get to work!

one five dash five five one nine.
2010 Pantone Color of the Year! Oh Turquoise. What a funny name for such a wonderful color.
"Whether envisioned as a tranquil ocean surrounding a tropical island or a protective stone warding off evil spirits, Turquoise is a color that most people respond to positively. It is universally flattering, has appeal for men and women, and translates easily to fashion and interiors. With both warm and cool undertones, Turquoise pairs nicely with any other color in the spectrum. Turquoise adds a splash of excitement to neutrals and browns, complements reds and pinks, creates a classic maritime look with deep blues, livens up all other greens, and is especially trend-setting with yellow-greens."

Brief break, then back to work.
Thank you to everyone who came out to see us at the Handmade Market! We loved seeing each and every one of you, and appreciate your support. After months of setting up Flutter, yesterday's turn out was a confirmation that our hard work and preparation was all worth it. Of course we've enjoyed every moment along the way (maybe not the moments after midnight), and look forward to the next phase of flutter production.

Final days before The Handmade Market
Here we are with five days until our debut at The Handmade Market. First, I would like to say how excited we are that after our last full day of production together, we were able to wrap up our work and still make it to pilates! That means we weren't pulling our hair out at five o'clock screaming at our sewing machines and wondering where in the world all our time went.
In the last few months and even weeks, we've learned a lot about ourselves and about being your own bosses. We still have a lot to learn about becoming a business, but during this crazy transition in our lives the most valuable lesson learned thus far has been to be good to yourself. That includes not only working hard, but prioritizing time for ourselves and those we love and care about. And because we have worked so hard on production, tonight we can actually enjoy an evening with the wonderful people who have supported us unconditionally!
Happy Monday!

Countdown continues :: Six weeks
Six weeks until The Handmade Market. Market bags are assembled and ready for printing. Lots of iPod holders are cut and ready to be sewn. One big shopping trip to the fabric store down, many hours of production to go.
I think we're on track with producing inventory, if only I could get this blasted website thing to work!

Handmade Market, here we come!
We are very excited to announce that on May 1st we will be participating as a vendor in The Handmade Market! May feels like it's far off, but we have lots of things on our to-do list. Thankfully we're on schedule for our overall monthly goals and have already relocated and set up our studio. So bring on the quick and easy hot dogs, the oh-so-tasty coffee and the hum of sewing machines late into the night! (and a heads up to our ever-supportive and loving boyfriends)
