It'll be a night of cocktails, cookies and couture!
Needless to say, I've been over the top busy trying to get ready for that...I want to make sure I have a large selection for people to see. There are so many of my designs that I feel need to be seen in person to appreciate. This is my chance and I don't want to blow it!
Last week was one of "those" weeks. I not only had to finish the uber order, but I also got a mini uber order from Indonesia and I was all set...I had everything cut out and ready to sew...and then...my serger BROKE! I literally screamed bloody murder and nearly started bawling my eyes out. So I tried to calm myself down by telling myself I would just order the part I need and get on with everything. Well...I called the company to get another part (which is a discontinued model and all parts shipped from Sweden) only to find that it will take TEN WEEKS to come in! I had only just finished screaming (again) when my phone rang...turns out my darling teenage son got into trouble on the school bus and was being suspended from school for 3 days.
Well, I decided to turn lemons into lemonade (I actually used that term in front of my daughter who informed me that all I had to do was squeeze them...duh) and I did something completely irresponsible but necessary. I bought a brand spanking new serger! Yes, I made my son wait in the truck with the girls for a solid hour while I carefully decided on which serger to buy. :D Now, when the part comes in for the other serger, I will have two sergers and will never have to scream again! Well, I know I will, but it won't be for that!
I'm not going to be unveiling anything new that will be at the party, but I will show you this. It's probably my only "real" Christmas piece for the season (I know, I'm lame, but I'm BUSY!). I still haven't even decided what I'm going to do for my own girls this Christmas! Nothing seems quite right, but picture time is coming so I'd better get a move on it, huh?
She was so cute in that outfit - she pranced around like a little reindeer!
Also still working on a large order (the one with the 8 Miss Mamies!). I finally convinced my little model to pose for a few pictures. I still have more to make and even more to photo, but this will do for now!
Love the photos! I can't believe she lets you follow her around and actually looks into the camera ! I also love the "you suck" option under reactions : )
