The last 2 weeks have been filled with sewing. The gal that most people have called for prom dress alterations is in the middle of 2 houses and just couldn't do it this year. I told one girl and then a few others heard rumor. I altered 8 prom dresses. Some things were hems, straps added, one needed the zipper taken out and a corsette back put in, 1 needed a jacket, 2 of them wanted sleeves added, one needed a back and cleavage cover. Plus I hemmed 3 pants and turned a tie into a bowtie plus made Livee and Aleena a dress for Easter. Oh and it is a mask Prom theme so we glittered and decorated 2 masks. And Sunday was Lexey's birthday and the girls wanted to decorate by them selves. They love Cake Boss. Needless to say, not much cooking and very minimal cleaning and laundry has been done for the last bit. I have really liked it. So far everyone has been pleased. I have 2 more to come pick up.
The kids have been very patient with me. I let Livee and Aleena sew lines on some paper the other day. Livee thinks that is the funnest thing ever now. She even wrote me a special note tonight. It says something about how she loves mom so much because she lets me sew paper. And then she drew her at the sewing machine and paper and all the little slashes are all the strings on the floor. It was too cute. My back needs a bit of a break from sewing so I am taking the weekend off but have the bug to make a few things.
