I have two wedding dresses that I need to put long sleeves on. That requires so much hand work to embroider the lace to the tulle sleeve. I spent last evening getting one set done. It all has to be done by hand before it is sewn into the dress.
Also have a model that does a photo shoot once a month and I am doing her rack, which is good money but takes me about 3-4 days just on her things.
The house constantly need love and here it is the end of the month and I have to pay bills again. Blah! But January is over and that makes me happy.
Did not get tickets purchased for Hawaii yesterday. I might just have to call a travel agent. Dang. Will try again today. I did not try late last night, and I will see if that works.
Six more brides scheduled for next week. I also have turned away some business as I am just too busy. Like coat zippers!!!!!
Kelsa has dance tonight and I am taking the missionaries and my best buddy out to dinner. That will be fun, then home to sew, sew, sew.

That is so sweet that Kelsa likes to decorate with Grandma. My daughter's grandmother decorated for every holiday like that.

ReplyDeleteIt is getting easier.
DeleteYou are most certainly busy! Hope you get a break, and get a chance to book your flights.
ReplyDeleteI did and paid way more than I wanted to!
DeleteExactly what does 'doing her rack' mean?
ReplyDeleteAsking for a friend.
Practical Parsimony
When someone does a movie or a photo shoot, they will have a rack of clothes or costumes to use. All have to fit to look good otherwise you are pinning and stapling things to your frame. This happens all the time. So those that are truly professional have things altered so they can just dress. Saves them time and they can get back on camera.
DeleteThanks. I just now got back to this since you mentioned the rack again. That sounds like fun work.
DeleteJust be sure to charge what you are worth!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Anne I have raised my bridal prices you would be so proud of me.
