I have now determined that I will never be caught during bridal season. It is like someone opens the flood gates and I get bombed with things. But I will persevere. I will not do it willingly. I will do it while whining a lot. So, get ready. Feel free to take me off your reading list.
After picking up Kelsa (who fell asleep in the car on the way down the hill) I was trying to get a suit altered and then another mother of the bride dress. My machine kept pulling the very ornate fabric down into the guts as I was sewing on the horsehair braid. You all know how I loves me some horsehair braid (NOT) So when I went to roll it back onto itself, I realized I would not be able to get the machine to properly stretch the braid and not eat the fabric. Then I had to hand hem the braid to the huge hemline. What a Pain. I had two other dresses to hem both with linings, and I was not done sewing until 9o'clock last night. Thankfully my brother in law came by and watered for me.
This morning has been nonstop clients with huge piles of things, and I am warning everyone that I am out at least 2-3 weeks. Trying so hard to stay caught up this year and I think I will and then I look around and realize that might not be possible.
Anyway, trying to stay positive, but I do hate getting overwhelmed. I can do this.
Sissie will be up in a while, and she will help me down from the mountain of stress I have climbed. Either that or she will be disgusted with me. Who knows? I will wait and see.
I am taking the day off tomorrow come hell or high water. I think that will help my mood.
Today I need to get the Sheriff uniforms done and I also have three bridesmaids' dresses to do. I have a bride coming in for a fitting and I need to start on another bridal dress. Next week will see major bridal sewing.
The weather is beautiful, and I want to be out sitting in the sun. I think that is my biggest problem. Acute want to be in the sunitis.
Have you ever suffered from this condition?
Have a great and productive day
God is good

During the times I feel overwhelmed I find that hunkering down and just doing it helps me get it done. It stinks being overwhelmed though.
ReplyDeleteWell I have a secret weapon it is SIssie!
DeleteThis happens every year girl - but that doesn't help, does it? LOL
ReplyDeleteYou do something that I could never in a million years do - you have quite a talent.
You area right it does.
DeleteI know that you can do this, hopefully things calm down and you can get out in the sun.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I did for a little bit so worth it!
DeleteJust remember to make sure all this stress and work is fairly compensated! It needs to be and if you can't do it, I will become your new billing department.
ReplyDeleteI love you!
DeleteHello, lovely friend! I wish I lived next door, so I could pop in and give you a hand. Although, considering the fact that I cannot thread or sew a button, you may not want to let me in!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy your day off and that the weather is perfect for you to sit outside and recharge your batteries.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful and I will just sit outside and do nothing.
DeleteMake sure to get some of that vitamin D.
ReplyDeleteHere comes the sun
DeleteSo sorry you have so much going on! I definitely overbooked myself yesterday, and this entire week. I feel like I got run over this morning. It's not great. But, my goal is to have a very productive today & tomorrow, so I can spend Mother's Day largely reading in the sunshine & chilling! - Hawaii Planner
ReplyDeleteYEs, and both of us dragging an auto immune around with us!
DeleteI have turned down more work this year than previous years. If it is a problem client or something I do not want to deal with I send them on.
