Finding myself, re-inventing myself, and taking the summer off to boot!

Last fall I found myself getting the inspiration bug sometime in September, and started working again, (finally). I told everyone that I un-intentionally took the summer off, which wasn't a lie because I hadn't planned on not doing anything work related all summer. This spring I felt determined that I wasn't going to do the same thing but here it is almost mid july and I haven't much of anything. Well, I've thought a lot about things, things like my style, my design, my business acumen, and all sorts of other "junk" and here's what I've come up with so far...
Somehow in 1999-2000 I managed to lose my style, this is due to a two part situation. First I had cosmetic surgery that changed to overall shape of my body and second I moved from NY to Ga. The Georgia part impacted me in that I fell madly in love with southern food and couldn't stop eating it, so like "poof" I gained a bunch of weight, which further affected my not knowing how to dress my new body shape. Then there's that crazy heat down south, who the hell wants to put clothes of any kind on when it's 98 degrees with 89% humidity. Also I feel there's a whole different aesthetic and sensibility down there that I just never "meshed" with.
So finally this spring, after almost 3 years of being back up north I've found my style and remember how much I love the fun of fashion, the art of decorating ones self, and the burn I've always had to create my own decorations for this purpose!
With all of that being re-discovered I now plan on proceeding this fall with work that follows my passion, things that make me smile as opposed to things that I think will sell. In the past few years I've had these basic thoughts in my head when writing patterns or working on one-of-a kinds, "keep it simple so I can keep the price down" or "will it appeal to the masses?". I didn't worry about these things when I was creating without the intention of trying to earn a living and my work was so much better then.
Now I'm thinking about just how I'm going to retool my on-line shops to best highlight my new found self. Am I going to remove the items that I made with saleability in mind rather than my aesthetic? Will I keep all of my shops around, (I've been flirting with ditching some venues for other reasons anyway), or streamline back into one store? For now I'm in the very early stages of my re-invention and I know I have a ways to go, but every day I make a new decision and come closer to having a finalized vision. By then it should be late summer and I'll be ready to get back to work.
Oh yeah, about that summer hiatus thing. Seems it's just the way it's going to be for me, I do have some summer pieces up and will probably have some next summer too. But really, once that mercury starts it's climb I'm just out of inspiration so I'll consider myself on hiatus until fall.
