Thursday, "Let's get her done"

 

Well, I have my buttons that I picked up last night and that is the first thing I will do this morning after I blog. I also ripped 4 pairs of little person pants last night and I will do those first although I have an additional 6 pairs. UGH!

I had a bride come in yesterday afternoon to try on her dress and I placed all the lace. I am redoing her grandmother/mother's dress.  It is fragile and some of the lace is discolored so we are replacing it and making the dress smaller after it was made larger.  It is intricate work, but I love restoring dresses.

 I also had a man come by with an expensive hunting coat, where the zipper kept splitting. He just needed a new zipper head, which was easy to fix in a few minutes, as I have all the parts on hand.   I really dislike replacing zippers, so when I can just replace a part, I am thrilled, and so is the client. $5 and 5 minutes and they are on their way.

Got the list done from yesterday so I was pretty proud of myself.  No Sissie today and I miss her. She and Dan had dentist appointments. I am an easy boss; I told her she could have the rest of the day off...*snort*

It is beautiful and warmer here than yesterday. I took water down to the chickens and one of them, is cannibalizing eggs. The problem is I don't know who it is.... I could see that three were destroyed. Cleaned up the mess and put down new bedding hoping to throw them off the scent.

I am going to Signe's tonight to work on furniture; I will spend the night and come home late afternoon tomorrow. I want to get a really good enamel and a good brush, so we have no brush marks. She was able to buy a really high-quality tall boy and a makeup table, from an antique store. If we do this right Kelsa should have this into college. Kelsa has an antique metal bedframe that was left at the house, so I plan on matching that as much as possible. We will have to do some major sanding, but I am sure it will be beautiful when it is done.

Now I just have to get a list for today, it is all about little person clothes!

1.exchange buttons on suit call client

2. shorten 4 pants that are ready

3. mend a pair of pants

4. shorten 6 pairs of pants

5.shorten sleeves on two long sleeved sweatshirts.( got one done)

6. shorten sleeves on 6 t-shirts

This is a lot and I don't know how much I will get through, but I will do my best, what I don't finish Sissie can tackle on Monday.  I want that wedding dress out by next Wednesday, so I need to be working on that.

No rest for the wicked.  In my case it is the lazy, as I really should have been working harder on Tuesday, but I lolly gagged. 

Okay joy for today is the fact that I am up and raring to go. Some days I don't have this and it is nice to feel energized and blessed with the spirit of "Let's get her done!"

Any joys today, Any plans for the weekend?

God is good
