mapsedgeIt's been a long day. Good, but long. There were two piles of dance dresses (10 in each, with one dress waiting assembly). Pile #1 needs sleeve hems (three minutes each on average, most of that time spent wrestling the damn dresses into place), shawl velcro, and neck bling. Pile #2 needs all that, but zippers first.The hardest piece of the whole deal is done, attaching the skirts to the bodices. I do believe we'll have all the dresses done for Monday delivery. I didn't anticipate that.
I've had Michelle helping me which makes a huge difference. Right now I've got her working on tights orders, tomorrow it'll be all sleeve hems and neck bling (a string of rhinestone trim zig-zagged around the neck trim.) Beyond having an extra set of hands contributing, psychologically it helps to know that I'm not back there all day doing all this work alone. I like working together, and I think she does too. She's better enough now that she can contribute, and that's making a difference for her general disposition, too.
I was up way too late last night, stressing about an Australia order that will be three days late, and finally got to sleep about 3:30 - at least, that's the last time I remember looking at the clock. I'm nearly falling asleep at this moment, typing most of these words with my eyes closed (I can feel most of the typos when I make them, it's weird.) So, bedtime for me. It's early, but I think I've earned it.
