I'm getting ready for two carnivals in the next two weeks. I have 4 half-done potholders at the sewing machine, I have to put collars on at least 3 toddler aprons, and I need to embroider a few more items as well. Oh, and I'd like to bind a couple more blankets as well. Plus, I have five little pillowcases to finish sewing by Saturday for a regular client.
But apparently that isn't enough work for me. Oh, no, not me.
Yesterday a lady called about embroidering some "wedding bibs". (Yeah, yeah, I've never heard of them before either.) I quoted her $20. Today she came by to drop them off, and I end up agreeing to cut out and bind the darn things for another $10 (I should have said $15). Anyway, my mother got in the act and told her about my micro mitts and my newest item, heart-shaped hotpads. I showed them to her and she loved them, so much that she left with two hearts and these mitts.
She was so taken with them that she ordered two sets of each.
To be done by next Wednesday, before she goes out of town on Friday.
With all that I have to do in the next week and a bit, why oh why did I agree to make 8 more hotpads on top of the "bibs"?
All together now:
because I'm a glutton for punishment!

Hugs and deep breaths!
Congrats on all the sales and I hope everything falls into place timewise for you to get it all done!
hmmmm ... maybe if you flew to Switzerland and put yourself into the LHC, you'll come out with a few dozen copies of yourself to get the work done!!
Seriously, I hope you get everything you need accomplished.
(In case you're wondering, I found your blog by surfing the Etsy Texas Crafters ring.)
