So last week I found out that my client's husband lost his job, and has lost their only source of income. They're getting on unemployment, but I doubt very much they will have any money to spare for fluff stuff like her dress. Well, at least until he finds a job.
I was so excited about this project. I was getting paid to do something I loved. But now that probably won't happen. I gave her the option of splitting up the payment plan a bit more, or I'll send her everything as is and she'll have to make the dress herself.
It was such a great design. I have no doubt that it would sell. But there is always the question of whether or not I could get the money I want from it. I've had to sacrifice so much on other projects.
I just barely sold the Marie Antoinette dress, and I didn't make any money on it at all. The entire balance went to Party Palace. That whole thing was a bunch of bull sh&*. But its all over now, and all I want to do is look forward to the future.
Now all I have to do is wait with bated breath to hear back from my client on what she has to do. Lately, her response times haven't been very quick, sometimes lasting more than a week. We'll see what happens. :(
