Sew and Tell Fridays

I finished a ton of stuff for other people, for the business. Mainly locals wanting one item or small stuff, like stockings embroidered with names, a tree skirt and a few stocking caps. I also did a jacket. But for me, I made a few lace ornaments to give away. I think next Christmas I need to close the shop earlier, or make my stuff earlier. I got asked the day before Christmas Eve if I would embroider 10 stockings. I turned her down, but told her to call me after the new year and I would give her a good discount for non-seasonal (Hint: non-rush) embroidery. She said she would call me.

I did a bunch of digitizing today waiting for deliveries. We bought a new bed and dressers for the three bedrooms upstairs. My kids are rough on furniture. I wanted real wood. if the oldest boy breaks anything, hes been told he is paying for the replacement of my choice. He has broken sofas (3) tables (2), bed (2) and two dressers. I also told him if he yanks the doorknob off his door, I will not fix it. He regularly has to tighten the knob. He's gotten pretty good at that, not the slamming the door part, but fixing it.

Okay blogger is giving me fits about uploading and linking my pictures, and I got a notice that IE needs to close because of an error. I'll write more tomorrow.
