We're trying to tidy up our store here and catch up on our shipments (everything's going out Monday then we'll be back to getting orders shipped right away). I just want my sewing room clean and Joey just wants all the business stuff tidied up. I guess that makes us a good team (as long as we're not crabbing at each other).
I got my cutting/creating table all tidied up and ready for the new year and I'm hoping I can stay on top of it daily instead of waiting until it's so cluttered that it steals my creativity. I don't mind a little clutter while I'm working on a few things but it does reach a point where I can't even think straight because of the mess. No resolutions here, just a little effort to make some small changes.
I went to get a pedicure/manicure yesterday and it was a nice treat but not my favorite thing in the world. I had a gift certificate from some great friends and yesterday was the expiration day so it was a "now or never" sort of thing. Next time I'll bring some hand stitching for the pedicure part since I hate just sitting there with nothing to do.
I've been really obsessed with the Kirman Grey fabric by Kaffe Fassett and I used it to determine the colors for my toenails. When I got home Joey looked at them and said "Well I like the design but the color makes your feet look like zombie feet". So I ripped his arm off and ate it (sorry, just a little zombie humor there).
I think feet are just ugly so I apologize for showing mine.
I figured as long as I was at the salon I would have my eyebrows waxed which I really like (not the ripping pain, but the tidy outcome). While the gal was doing my eyebrows she asked me if I wanted my upper lip done since I had "long hair" there. Excuse me? Thanks, but no thanks.
I noticed a lot of customers are buying the fabrics for the apron in my December 9th post so I've decided to put some apron kits in the store to make it easier to get just what you need and not have leftovers (I love left over fabric but maybe some folks don't?). I'll make up some Darla kits as soon as all of my back-ordered fabrics arrive. I'm going to put the Apron in an Hour tutorial in a pdf format (as well as the pillowcase tutorial) to make it easier to download and print.
And I thought I would show you what a napping redneck toddler looks like. We snuck in to see if he had finally gone to sleep (we're having a little trouble with naptime these days) and we caught him with his brother's pellet gun (and extra ammo!). Those monsters don't dare come out from under the bed now.
Sigh.
