Tuesday, Sissie struggles

 Poor Sissie here she stands so poised and knowledgeable. I am rarely poised.  The knowledgeable part it left for discussion. But she is struggling to learn the ropes of more difficult tailoring.  It takes time and you get faster and faster. Boy, have we had some laughs.

The shop is full, full and Sissie is a little slow. It is aggravation for her as she is normally so good and quick at everything. She will get better; I keep telling her this, but I don't think she believes me.

I have many things to do today.  A bride came in for her fitting, and the dress is due out tomorrow. I need to adjust the lining and everything else is hand work.  I started another antique wedding dress yesterday and I just got it ripped, I need to call bride for another consultation and fitting on that.

But in the meantime, Kim needs to get to work. As in produce something.  Kim also needs to go to the store.  I am out of milk and bread and assorted other things. Ate leftover pizza last night that Sissie made Sunday. I did take some chicken legs out to roast for this evening.

So, I am making a list today as I feel like I need to push myself a little or maybe a lot!

1. Finish wedding dress

2. call bride about fitting

3.put a patch on a uniform

4.hem a pair of pants

5. shorten sleeves on a jacket

6. hem and peg a pair of pants

7. shorten sleeves on a coat and take in back seam

8.  Alter a top at the back, the sleeves and the neckline

9. put a buttonhole on a coat, and alter the neckline

10. call several people for pick up

That is enough and I will probably not get through it today.  But I will try.

I am determined to go get groceries, go to the gym, go get dogfood, and practice the piano tonight, as last night I just vegged.

My joy for the day is watching Sissie struggle, not the struggle part but the laughter when she screws up. Oh, such fun, mostly for me.  I am the evil twin

Anything bringing you joy today?

God is good

Kim
