Holiday Crunch Time

The holidays are fast approaching and I have lots of projects to get finished. That is both good and bad. Just finding some time to get into the workroom has been a problem lately. Multiple meetings in a week really impacts my production time. Oh well, this is something I just need to work on. The family room pillows are almost done, then some hemming, ottoman slipcover, valances with grommets and a duvet cover. I do love what I do.

Julia finished her back slit denim skirt and has started cutting out a round neck blouse to go with it. Lauren started on sewing her robe. She started by embellishing the pockets with raw edge applique flowers cut from the capri fabric. Anna missed class last week, Izzy started her sewing bag, Meghan is working on her banded blouse and Katie is almost done with her peasant blouse.

Also had a couple of private sewing lessons this week. It is fun to see the adults as excited as the girls.

Need to start working on dinner for Sunday. We are celebrating Thanksgiving with family. There will be 15 for dinner. Should be a good time. John and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary this past weekend by staying at a B&B in Woodstock and going to see Pirates of Penzance at the Woodstock Opera house. The B&B we stayed at was the Royal Victorian which was used as the Cherry Street Inn in the movie Groundhog Day. At the time of the movie it was a private residence and just recently was made into a B&B. It is a lovely place. We had dinner at the Woodstock Public House. The loaded baked potato soup was so good!!! We might need to drive out there again.
