Just Call Me Scarlett

I remember reading "Gone With the Wind" when I was in sixth grade. I read the whole book in less that a week and fell in love with Scarlett. I was very shy and insecure and the whole "take the bull by the horns" attitude intrigued me. Unfortunately, one of her characteristics that rubbed off was the whole "tomorrow is another day" mentality of dealing with things. Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow. That is soooo me!!! I am really trying to change that part of me but it is so difficult since it has been around for a while.

This weekend, I am paying the price. I have made 12 pillows (with zippers) 3 bedspreads, and put in 64 grommets (with the help of my loving husband). Several of the pillows are unusual sizes so I have to still make the down pillow forms for those. By making the forms, I'm talking cutting other down pillows up and stuffing the new ones. Zyrtex, here I come. That always makes me sneeze and cough. My eyes tear up, it's horrible. This install is in the morning and I have to get everything ready. I hope the customer likes it all. There is a lot to deliver. After this, I need a vacation!!! I won't take one though, too much going on.

Well, let me get to the feathers and get it over with. I will post pics when we get everything up. Actually, I may post pics of the mess with the feathers. We'll see......

The above picture is another condo in Florida that we made draperies for.

Hard Days Night

Boy, am I tired. The reason I haven't been posting is because I am working everynight. I have a really big order due Monday morning and have been trying to get it all done. We are all working like crazy. I had to go buy supplies today over in Norcross. Even though I only planned to be there a couple of hours, I spent all day making stops. The kids watched a movie in the back of the car while I went from place to place. My machine had a little freak out fit night before last so I had to go get a part for it. I had a freak out fit the rest of the night trying to figure out what I was going to do with my main machine not working and this order due.

It is spring break here and I want so bad to go on a mini vacation. I think I will plan one as soon as I get all this work done. That will be a little treat to myself. Speaking of vacations, the above picture is from a condo in Panama City, Florida that we did.

I will post pics of all the bedding and window treatments that we are working on when we get them installed. I did pick up a lot more fabric today so "Bring it on....."

My husbands new office is in dire need of a makeover so I may have to take some time and get that done for him. We will see.
