Tuesday, you would be so proud!


 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

  7. Good for you Kim. "No" is great and I am slowly learning to use that word as well.

    God bless.

  8. Antique beaded leggings sound both beautiful and terrifying at the same time, especially when sewing beads. .
