Hooray! They are done. Just barely in time. If you are ever thinking of sewing for hours and hours with a sinus headache I strongly recommend against it. I survived and the aprons fared pretty well. Only one run in with the seam ripper. A new record. As I was sitting at the machine, dosed up on Dayquil and garlic, boo hooing my fever and general crummy feeling-ness I got to thinking about Project Runway. They create elaborate entire outfits from scratch without patterns in about a quarter of the time it took me to make seven simple aprons. They must be robots or have a secret crew of elves or mice finishing their garments off camera. Off to crash on the couch. Hoping I don't have to see chocolate brown thread for a long, long time.
I am a horrible person! I am soooo late in getting two wedding presents out. Crazy late. Like the bride and groom are probably wondering what is the deal with us, late. I ran out of zeroes a while ago and kind of forgot to finish the signs. Mind you I have finished many many signs for Etsy with zeroes since then. Both of them were just sitting forgotten in my garage, sad and lonely. Wanting to go to a newlywed's new home. So today I decided to get my act together and finish them. They were drying in the backyard and I was feeling pretty good about myself. I figured that if they have a year to get thank you notes out, I can be a few months late with a present right? So while I was waiting for them to dry I ran out to the mailbox. You would not even believe what was in there! A beautiful card from one of the couples thanking us for "coming to the wedding"!!!!!!!!! I just about died! They have already sent out their cards, we haven't given them a present and they are thanking us for coming to the wedding! So sorry N & C! Your sign is on its way!
