A quick rare weekend post before I chain myself to the sewing machine again.
Thanks for all your help with Thursday's post, I appreciate all the suggestions from the bottom of my heart. Who knew tri-fold brochures were so emotionally moving to me? I think the show will be a success and if nothing else I'll get to hang out with two of my favoritest people in Chicago for a weekend. (We'll just ignore the expenses for now... hehe)
The kids survived their first week of school very well. Kelly reported that yesterday was her "best day of school ever!" Considering it was her second day, I'll believe her. Oh oh, Zach's already been bumped up to GT math without any more pushing on my part. I think the teacher quickly realized that yes, he has honestly already advanced beyond the regular 5th grade math curriculum.
And in case you were wondering about the Stitches show and my sewing (please check out my Etsy shop if you don't know what I'm sewing or selling), way back I made a goal of 500 items to bring. I'm currently sitting at 309 items sewn and ready to sell (ouch). To get a good mix of items (and not kill myself), I'm now trying for a revised amount of 450. That means I still need to sew 140 between now and Wednesday night. I average 3 sewn per hour so that means I only need 48 hours. Except I need to make 24 tote bags and those are actually almost an hour each to make. So I need 39 hours for the regular 116 items and 24 hours for the tote bags. I have 4 days. It's totally possible, right?
Back to the sewing machine!
