My crochet specialist has finished with the second samples and we make final detail changes to the measurements and fit and she takes on a new design I’m very excited for. Today, we move our headquarters to the area of Sukawati. I hire a 4WD and we head to the mountains again with the iPhone vs Blackberry GPS. It’s my first time driving in Indonesia and its great fun with manual off-road driving as the villa is located in quite a secluded region that looks over lush green hills and the valley river.
On Monday, I wake up to find a hornet’s nest outside my bedroom door. One sting, and you’ll have a painful gigantic welt for weeks. I discover so many more exotic creatures in the most unwanted places that share the outdoor living space of the villa. I have to meet my knitters again for a second sample approval and we drive back down to Denpasar while being greeted by local kids strewn across the streets on the way. At my leather supplier, I hand pick all the skins ready for the new bag designs in various washed out colourways.
