			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week&#8217;s excitement is that I had my very first <a title="Witty Designs on Etsy" href="http://wittydesigns.etsy.com" target="_blank">sale</a> to a complete stranger. While my friends and family have been wonderfully supportive, purchasing dozens of my bags (each, for some of you - you know who you are) and spreading the word about Witty Designs, it was pretty exciting to get an order and realize that I had no idea who the buyer was. It feels like the first step toward sightings of celebrities carrying my bags and then being on the <a href="http://www.oprah.com/slideshow/omagazine/200908-omag-olist" target="_blank">O List</a>. Okay, so maybe it won&#8217;t happen that fast, but it&#8217;s pretty exciting for me. For now, back to sketching designs for the new line I&#8217;m planning for this fall. I&#8217;ve been collecting fabric all summer&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-536"></span></p>
<p>In not-so-exciting news, our pack out is scheduled for Monday. Ugh. Which means the teeny-tiny apartment is filled to the brim with stuff. Double ugh. I try to remember that it will be really nice to have all the new stuff I&#8217;ve bought when we get it in Nassau - in 3 months or so. It&#8217;s like waiting for Christmas.</p>
<p>Also, Peema is back with our family, after spending the summer with my parents. She&#8217;s settling in nicely, particularly since Laika is still at &#8220;summer camp&#8221; (aka - two weeks of intensive training in WV). I think my parents had a hard time letting go, though. And we&#8217;d forgotten how much we enjoy P&#8217;s gentle meowing at 2am to see if we happen to be awake and willing to pet her. Eight years and she still hasn&#8217;t figured out that the answer is always NO.</p>
