Tuesday, Up early and busy...


 I think I have been chalanting way too much! What thinks you?

Spent the morning pulling all the potatoes, and onions from the garden. Now I have them curing in the garage.  After I rotate them and air them for a couple weeks, I will store them away. I did not plant many potatoes probably grew 40 lbs at the most. Potatoes are still really cheap here.  On sale they are 1.28 for 10 pounds. I will go pick onions off the road this fall.

The shop has been crazy busy with at least 8 clients so far today.  Two wedding dresses came in actually 3 as one had 2 dresses. I also have two wedding dresses booked to come in next week making a total of 8 in the shop.  My June was not as busy as usual, and I think I am going to make up for it in September. Which is great, I have another savings goal I have not been able to touch that I thought I would have to give up on this year. But maybe it is still in the works. I hope.

Sissie ran up 4 piecrusts for me bless her. I pulled out peaches and I have the three cups of blackberries and I will make a pie and then freeze two crusts.  Ate at Sissie's last night, chili and I brought down the corn bread I had made.  Yum! Tonight, she is doing pork chops so I will eat there again. I am so blessed to not have to cook.  I will take down my frozen applesauce.

I still have a mother of the bride to finish and a wedding dress I did not get to yesterday.  These dresses that are coming in have cheaper and cheaper linings and satins. Like costume satin which is throw away quality.  I have just noticed the really good bridal sites are really dumbing down their fabrics.  They are hard to work with, and don't hang well. I was so frustrated yesterday with two dresses I just gave up after 3 hours and my back was angry.

But I will get these done and call it a day!

God is good

  1. I have noticed mother of the groom (and bride) dresses looking significantly cheaper. I am looking casually in case my youngest pops the question to his girlfriend. Cindy in the South

  3. Hope you managed to get the dresses done today. I wish I could purchase 10lbs of potatoes for that price. Here 10lbs usually costs around $8.99, hence why we grow our own and keep our fingers crossed for a good crop.

    God bless.
