3 Days Away

Just 3 days until the wedding! After I finished the veil and bustling the bride's dress I decided to make clutches for the bridesmaids. My daughter can use them to give them their gift of jewelry and then they will have them to use at the wedding. Last week Thursday my daughter did the embroidery on the table runners so I was able to sew them up on Friday and Saturday. Things seem to be going along okay, now if the weather will just cooperate. There is snow and freezing rain in the forecast. We will keep our fingers crossed. I did the final fitting on one bridesmaid on Monday and did her last little alterations. One girl comes tomorrow and the other on Friday. Then rehearsal and dinner on Friday and Saturday is the big day! Oh and I have to make a garter still also.
Kids classes are finished for the year. We will start back up in January. I am looking for at least other person to take lessons on Wednesdays with Lauren otherwise I may have to cancel the class. If you know of someone who would like to join us and will commit to taking lessons until June I will give a month free, a $40 value. Lauren did finish her pajama pants and almost finished a notions bag that she is going to use as a gift bag. What a great way to use leftover fabric and also have a reusable wrapping.
I finished the drapery panels for a client and next week we will discuss the pillows she would like to have made. Finished the embroidery on a towel and now just have to do the Christmas stockings. Trying to figure out the best way to do them without having to take them apart. That is what makes my job so interesting, new challenges all the time.
Saturday a group of us got together and did a run in the falling snow. It was actually very pretty and not that cold. It has gotten quite cold since then, in the single digits this morning when I did my run in the dark. I miss the longer days. On Monday evening it was just too cold and windy to do speed work outside so my daughter and I wound up on the treadmills, not my favorite place but for a half hour workout not too bad. Trying to decide if I will do a quick run on Saturday before the wedding or maybe Pilates early in the morning or maybe just sleep in:-)
