I was busy yesterday. I worked hard and fast. I also said NO!!!! several times. I just told people I was 3-4 weeks out and they would have to wait to bring anything in until then. I don't want more work in the shop.
I went and did my blood work this morning and as I was getting ready to get into a wedding dress I realized I had 3 more small projects Sissie cannot get to that I will have to get done today. This is why I am saying no!
When you have things crawling out from under the woodwork that you didn't know you had waiting for you it is time to put a halt on things coming into the shop.
Tuesdays are always my busiest phone and things coming in days. So, the phone has been a nuisance with me saying sorry, I am just too busy to take that in right now.
See I am learning, it is a slow process, but I am learning.
The yard man that is doing my lawn stopped by and he said everything looks great in spite of the marmots. It is raining slightly today so I do not have to water unless it starts to heat up later today. I am now using the sprinklers system which makes things much easier on me.
Here is today's list:
1. get blood work done
2. put zippers in antique beaded leggings
3. bind a baby blanket
4. alter a mother of the bride dress
5. hem a pair of pants
6. hem and dart and remove lace on a wedding dress and call client for a fitting.
7. start another wedding dress
8. try and finish up a smaller job on a wedding dress.
9. pay a few bills
We will see how far I get. The wedding dresses need to be my priority and that has not been the case the last 2 days with all the extras that appeared.
But I know I can do this!
Here is to a calm Tuesday... Ha Ha that is never going to happen, but a girl can dream. BY the way said no twice while posting this, the dang phone.
God is good

DeleteI am very proud!!! Now just keep saying it from time to time to keep your sanity!!!
ReplyDeleteOh honey the sanity left long ago.
DeleteAh yes, the one word complete sentence! "No" can be your bestest friend.
ReplyDeleteCheers to plowing through the must-do pile!
Oh the must do's
DeleteGood for you Kim. "No" is great and I am slowly learning to use that word as well.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It is hard for me.
DeleteAntique beaded leggings sound both beautiful and terrifying at the same time, especially when sewing beads. .
ReplyDeleteI just repaired beading thanks goodness. It is so tedious.
