Wednesday, Yikes! must pace myself

I loved this.  Because we all know Kim has a really hard time pacing herself and boy do I need to the next week.  In a week I will be flying to St. Louis for the wedding and when I pulled work yesterday, I realized really how behind I am and just what needs to be done before I leave.  

 

So that being said or written, anything that comes into the shop from now on unless it is easy or a have too will be put off until I get back.  I have already told 4 people this morning that it will not be done until I get back. I will also maybe call some brides to let them know they will not be fit until I get back, that is just the way it is.

I was pleased to get my list done yesterday but again no sewing.  Now sewing is a must. Also prioritizing is a must.  Not something the ADHD brain is very good at.

I know Lil sis is also panicking a little. I will take over cookie dough on Thursday evening and she is going to color my hair and I think I will convince her to go ahead and do up the cookies that night.

Here is my mockup. Little Ax cookies as the grooms last name is ax. We need to make 100 of these and put them in little bags as favors. Also, cake will look like this for groom's cake.  I have figured out how to make the handle look more like wood.

Signe' is out of town for two days and I am teaching her class tonight, then advanced ballet mistress called and can't get downhill as she is in the middle of a research project in her 4th year of college.  So I will teach for 2.5 hours.  Which if I sew for 5 hours I will need to get up and move.

Here is the list.

1. finish men's suit

2. alter prom dress

3. alter prom dress

4. start wedding dress call client

5. alter wedding dress

6. start wedding dress call client

7. alter prom dress

8. alter prom dress

9. alter prom dress

10. alter a pile of clothes 6 hems

11. perhaps get to 3 zippers if I have time?

Let's see what Kim can get done before she goes to teach. Wish me luck, I am going to need it!

Heavy sigh*  I can do this.  DO you ever have to talk yourself into things? Pace myself.  As in don't waste time.  I love to waste time.


Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.


Kim

  2. Wasting time is so satisfying some days. But, I can rarely take that luxury.

  3. I recognized the cookies as is - I wouldn't bother with the change in the handle if it takes more time! They're adorable!

  4. That's adorable those cookies. It will be a sweet wedding for sure. The teaching part made me cringe though.

  5. I love the little cookies!

    I'm a procrastinator - I tend to do things in binges - and also flit around from project to project. I think you accomplish an amazing amount of work in a day!

    1. I am prone to do that also. But I had to learn to produce and try to finish things.

  6. I talk myself into doing things i really have no interest in. Sometimes, i’ll give myself a task that must be done but i try to get it done in 30 minutes. After that, i can sit and do something i want to do as a ‘reward’. Some days it works… Love the cookies. You’re such a talent in so many areas!
