Thursday, another chart, Thrifty Thursday

Finished another chart yesterday, but the day was kind of a bust.  The red dress was a pain and I knew it would be, then it was too small still so I had to rip it out and redo part of it.  I hate that kind of work, as the dress was not worth it, but the client wanted it. Finally got the sucker done.  Then the 4 skirts that needed new elastic were also a pain.  Did not have two kinds of elastic I needed and had to go to Joanns, which interrupts my day. 

I felt like I struggled and sewed all day to only get a few things done.  I realize that not everyday can be a bang up day, but yesterday was just frustrating. Lil sis had a bad day also, so I went over to her house in the late evening to talk her down.  So we all have those days.

Today I have to get a Wedding dress done by this afternoon and a bridesmaid dress.  So it is pressure today. I hope things go well.  We have all talked about how we put things off that really don't take time we just make it up in our heads.  Well the red dress and the skirts had been put off because I knew they would be a pain and they were time consuming.  SO sometimes we put things off because we just know.....

I have a full day ahead of me.  It was over 100 here yesterday and the chickens are going through water like crazy.  Also the garden (which we don't have on the sprinkler system) needs to be watered two times a day now.  But I do love the heat.  

Lil sis is putting in a pool and they start digging next week.  I am so excited. We can go over in the evening and cool off from the day. Also the grand kids are going to love this.
