Soooo everybody wants their new curtains done in time for Christmas, frequently made out of fabric that holy crap why would anyone think this was going to work for a furnishing item?! Seriously! Today I sewed a sheer curtain out of fabric that snags if you look at it cross-eyed. I hope they don't have cats. (Or kids. Or wear rings. Or have rough nails. Or slightly calloused hands…)
Ahem. Anyway. Didn't come here to gripe about that. (Besides, we got the showroom staff to agree not to sell that fabric any more and the sample has been thrown out HAHA.)
Like I said, everyone wants their stuff done by Christmas (and if you are ordering now, NO. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN.) so we're kicking up the overtime and as well as the one extra hour every weekday that has become standard I will be working Saturdays! Yay, money! Boo, lack of free time. Life is compromise. :P Current plan is for us to continue to write, but if I throw a complete wobbly and decide that I refuse to engage any more braincells than are absolutely necessary to sustain heartbeat and breathing during my leisure hours, well… I'll try to be amusing when I tell you about it?
