A Corny Post

Not really what I wanted to be doing on a Saturday afternoon

But I can't complain...

...it's free and it will fill my freezer!

Thank you, PeeWee!

"Ick"-ing and rejoicing

 

OK....

 

Here's my thought for the day.

Or, perhaps it should be my statement for the day.

 

I don't like brown rice. at all.

Chewy little brown rubber nuggets....ick

 

I was trying to be all 'miss gourmet' tonight and tried a chicken dish with a dijon mustard sauce (the hubby liked that part) and since we're trying to eat more healthy, I fixed some brown rice to go with it.

 

Never again.  The rest of the box is getting donated to my mother who loves that crap stuff.

 

So, now the rejoicing part.....

 

I finally finished a HUGE order for a customer for like two thousand pairs of ruffled baby pants that have been hanging over my head for at least 2 months!

Actually it was more like 15 pair, but it sure felt like 2,000.

I've decided I don't like doing ruffles - at least not on such a grand scale.  I can't imagine being a seamstress in the early 80s!!

.....you'll also never find me working for Dolce and Gabbana

Sooooo......now that I've shared my heart with you tonight, I'm off to the bathtub for a nice, hot soak and then dive into these babies - no ruffles here!

 

Oh yeah...these too....a friend of my 'flung a craving on me' (as we say in the South) for some Mary Engelbreit and I started these dresden blades that now need turning and pressing.

 

 

 

 

Summer Sale!

Just a quick shop note to let y'all know that all my Ready to Ship children's clothing items are now discounted 25%!  

 They won't last long at these prices so get them while you can!

 

Swamped

....that I am!

I don't know why I let myself get to this point.  I get lazy as the orders trickle in and I don't think much of it, plus I usually have some HUGE custom order lurking in the background that I keep putting on a back burner because I just don't really want to get started on it.

Then, all of a sudden, I'm swamped!  This realization always seems to hit on the day when I'm the most tired, for who know what reason (probably also why I haven't blogged much lately - my blogging batteries have been dead.)

Well, it hit me today....Monday....ugh.  I don't really dislike Mondays since quitting the 'working world' and starting my own business.   Most days are usually just the same with none really being worse than the other.  But today, I definitely feel the Monday Uglies.....

I decided I needed to just jump on things, regardless of how I felt, and it would abate - get started and get on a roll, get in a groove, and as Larry the Cable Guy would say here in the South:  "Git-R-Done!!"

I was right!  My favorite saying came true today:

"Begun is Half Done!"

 

Now, if I could just pry myself away from this computer and get back to work!!  :)
