Today was a lot better than yesterday. I had a bit more time to breathe and move and organize. Here are some pictures of the silk veils rolled up and getting ready to ship to Mexico, Canada, and Australia. They look like tropical flowers.
More veils on my workbench getting sorted and counted and bagged up to go.
And then there are the ever present panels. Today I finished the last two of the first wave and shipped them away. Tomorrow, I sew 5 more and then the last 10 and hopefully will not have to work over the weekend. Might but might not. Depends on how it goes tomorrow.
Veils and fabric orders ready to go to the Post Office. Rates go up May 1st again and will continue to increase every May 1st until Jesus comes back, I guess. I cringe when I see how much my customers have to pay to have supplies and orders shipped but wedged in the price is my time to cut and fold and cart to the PO. It all takes time and time is ________. You know the saying.I actually ate lunch with DH in the sunny back yard today! I'm sorry all you cold Canadians and easterners. Very sorry. Okay. Maybe not all that sorry?? We have to put up with a lot of nonsense to live in The Golden State so it probably equals out somehow.
Oh- one last thing- I worked on that silk velvet project I blogged about a long time ago because tomorrow ( I know!!!) I have to have a digital picture of it ready for the fiber art show that is happening here next month. I haven't even started to tell you about that...those alligators are only nipping at my heels.
See you tomorrow, my fiber friends.

any word from jesus yet? :)
M -- Having a great time reading the blog. The silks are just gorgeous and the velvet. I just want to wrap myself in the velvet, which is perfectly practical here in the chilly east.
No, you don't sound very sorry about eating outside on a nice warm day at all, especially evil since it was 23-degrees this morning here in Pittsburgh.
A note about postage, although it pains me to have to pay it, the cost for me to travel back and forth to get these great items would be far more costly, so I guess we just have to put up with it.

A'kai-Yes! He's coming back and boy is he pissed! FYI.
Bog-good perspective!
Thanks for looking everyone.
