Sissie is on her 8th pair of pants that needed to be patched in the crotch. It is not easy work, you think it will be, but it is tedious. But she did it and I did not have to do it! I have to hand sew lace on a wedding dress, and a bunch of other minor alterations that all take time.
It has been a nice two days I have been able to get 2.5 wedding dresses done. I should finish the other .5 today! I have another wedding dress getting picked up tomorrow.
I am going to go up to my youngest daughter Braunwyn's apartment tomorrow and work on her bedroom. I bought them a new mattress for Christmas, but the bedroom has not been really done over since they moved in 8 years ago. It needs love and a deep clean. I will stay the night and then come home late Saturday.
Jackie from The Land of the Living Sky, is my Joy today. She and I were lamenting about the economy perhaps getting worse. But I feel like she and I have the skills to face this. You can survive hard times if you have skills. If you can cook, use less, sew, mend, do without you will get by. But to be able to do all these things and still have Joy is a real blessing. I will always be grateful for the things I can do that help me navigate a tough situation.
Went to the gym last night and forgot to put on my sneakers. I jumped on the tread mill in my boots. Oh well it worked, not quite as comfortable but I did it anyway. Have to remember to slow down and change clothes or shoes. I can be such a drip.
Even though Sissie and I have both been busy the shop is still so full. But we are slowly making progress. I think. I do have two more wedding dresses due in today. Segue: Another wedding dress in now have one more later this afternoon.
Sissie is done, her back is giving out. She is just like me after 2-3 hours, it just starts singing.
I have to complete some paperwork for my late mother in laws estate and get that in the mail today. Just one more thing to add to the list.
Need to run to the dollar store and buy a package of legal-size envelopes, also stop and get some soda, go to post office, and see if Hobby Lobby unpacked an order of thread. I need several spools and they were out. But you have to get there right away as they keep so little in stock. Thank goodness it is right next to the gym so I can run in and check the stock.
Well, I am off to finish this wedding dress and call the client! Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy.
God is good

I don't have any real marketable skills, but I can cook and do without. I don't really need a lot, and have enough clothes for me and 2 or 3 other folks
