Monday, 5 days left of February!


 I have way too much to accomplish in the next 5 days.  Oh, my I knew this was coming, but I never really am prepared for it. Wedding season in in full swing.  I had a fitting this morning and this dress will be out tomorrow afternoon.  Then another late bridesmaid came in and her dress is due out tomorrow also. I have at least 4 fittings this week of existing dresses.  Yikes!  How did that happen? So, my only solution is to get busy.

I had a nice weekend.  Took care of Kelsa, went to church, took a long nap, spent time with Sissie.  Practiced the piano.  I have to play in two weeks and the song is fast, so I am really putting my nose to the grindstone. Or I should say my fingers. 

It was a rather beautiful weekend, and I was able to get my seedlings planted and I need to get more started but have to get seeds first. It was very warm yesterday.  Up to 60 in some parts of the area and this is causing flooding.  So much snow and melting too fast, the ground cannot handle it. So, we went from cold, cold to warm in 24 hours.

Aunty is coming next Tuesday, and I am excited for her arrival. Need to get her room ready, as in a deep clean. Drawers and closet reorganized so she has someplace to put things. I am sure Sissie will help with this.

Dan has been down with a low-grade fever and a cold. Actually, all of us are dragging around a bit of a cold. I really feel fine just have a cough in my chest, but it is not bad and may it stay that way!

I am going to list what needs to be done on a wedding dress just for fun.  When all these steps are done it will be ready for client.  I am thinking maybe 1.5 hours of work.

1. press in hem as pinned

2. cut hem and serge area

3. reinforce back loops

4. sew up ends of back tie

5. reattach beading and lace in three places

6. finish seams on inside of dress

7. press

8. bustle

Let's see if we can get this done!!!!!

I just need motivation.

God is good

  3. Since things are marked off I am thinking you managed to get it all completed. Good for you.
    I can not believe how quickly this month went by. Five days left and then we are into March.

    God bless.
