This is my life right now. I actually have a black wedding dress to tailor and finish for this afternoon's pickup. It will be the first thing I do today.
Yesterday was very busy, and I had two more dresses come in. Did I tell you this is supposed to be the busiest wedding season on record? I know I am getting dresses in faster than last year. And last year was my busiest year ever. I had to get out of dodge in August just to save my sanity.
Right now, the shop is a disgusting mess and after the black dress is done it is getting a thorough cleaning and organizing.
Lil sis just came and picked up her daughter's dress, to take to St. Louis this weekend. She will mark and bring back the bridesmaid dresses for me to alter. She also tried on her dress, and I marked the hem and I am going to take it in on the sides. None of us girls were born with waists. We are tree trunks. I always said I was a square. We are small but no waist to speak of. Straight up and down. SO, I am going to define her a waist.
Having a seamstress in the saves this family a ton of money. We will also do all the flowers and decorating when we get to the venue. We were discussing ribbon and pins and other paraphernalia we would need to pick up once in St. Louis. At least we are not trying to take glassware to the Bahamas.
I pulled out a large package of chicken breasts to make enchiladas out of for dinner. I will probably make two pans and freeze one and then whatever chicken is left over figure out something else to do with it. Hubs will be working at the high school off and on for the rest of the week.
I am so happy Lil sis let me off on the wedding shower, or I would be getting ready to fly to St. Louis. Just the thought of getting on a plane with this sinus crap and my ears all wonky makes me cringe. Plus, the recirculated germy air.
The missionaries came yesterday and used the kitchen to make cinnamon rolls, they are so funny. I just stayed out and stayed in the shop. They tried to clean up, but.... they are men. I finally kicked them out about 4:30, it was like having 5 monkeys in the house.
Well, I had better get to work. That dress is not going to do itself!
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
