Weird Day

Well, It has been raining which means my basement is flooding again. Great. Had to deal with that first thing this morning. The "n" key on my laptop only works if you beat it. This laptop has been a pain since I got it.

We finished some panels today. Got to the install and the customers idea of bottom of trim was not mine or the itstallers idea of bottom of the trim, so I had to bring them back to change the length. (BTW, the customer had several layers of trim). No biggie, I will repleat in the morning and get them back to her tomorrow afternoon.

I also found out that all the bedding and draperies for the Buckhead Symphony showhome are due by the 30th. I was like great, the 30th of April, no, the 30th of March!!!!!.

I just got home at 8:30 this evening from a meeting with a decorator. I'm really excited because it seems like she is going to let me do some really cool things. I can't wait.

We had to do some mitered corners today, we were drawing a blank so we broke out a training video. That's pretty tired. LOL.

Some days can be really hard but I really do love my job.

Snow Day

It was another snow day here so of course, I got nothing done. My studio is in my basement and I have 5 kids. Need I say more. When I came upstairs to check on them, the house was wrecked. Not a little messy, we are talking marshmellows on the floor, bread on the coffee table, naked toddlers, the works. (I did make them clean it all up) I'm so ready for school to get back in session. I had just got my routine back in order from the holidays and then snow. I need a little order back!!!
I spent the morning pretty much yawning through my work. I did get some supply ordering done. I don't know why but I procrastinate so bad when it comes to stuff like that. I wait until the last minute and then have

to rush. I must work on that this year.
We did get a london shade finished for a client. I love those shades when they are made out of the right fabric. Soft fabrics work best. When they are stiff, they just loose the soft folds they are intended to have. Thankfully, this fabric was soft.
I am going to spend the rest of the day figuring yardage and cutting lumber.
Oh, I did find out that we will have work in the Buckhead Symphony Showhome this year. We will be doing bedding and window treatments. I think the Symphony Showhome is the most prestigious show home in town. We will be working for a decorator. I'm very excited to be able to have work there. Hope you can come see it.
