Thursday, Prices are going up!

 One of my readers showed me a link to a shop in Boise and boy am I undercharging. So, I printed out their list and then put my new prices up on the door.  I am still significantly lower, and I have the discretion to selectively lower for my clients on fixed incomes. But it is time. Wedding alterations are going up also, as they are the largest part of my income.

Kelsa is a great watch dog as she is constantly looking outside and running off the marmots.  What am I going to do when she leaves? Well, her dad will come fix the fence and that will help some. 

Had another dress picked up today and hopefully one tomorrow. Then I just have to press and call a bride for another pick up and go get a dress off the rack to start. By the way I thought I had 4 dresses for August and I have 5.  So much for Kim keeping track. 

I am going tonight to get paint for the changing table I bought on craigslist for B, and I am going to look for a small dresser.  Then I will paint them both this weekend.  I would like to go up to Moscow for a few days but with having to water every 2-3 hours that is out. By next week the lawn will be 3 weeks old and I can set the sprinklers. I am really looking forward to that; you have no idea. 

By the way hand sewn hems on the Boise shop are 1 dollar an inch. We hand sew all our dress trousers, so that would run 30 a hem for pants. I think that is overkill. But I went up some. When I was in South Carolina, we stopped at an alterations place, and a starting hem was 30 dollars. Then again, these people have to pay rent and maintain a separate residence for their work. 

God is good
