Samples garments made = check. Brochures = check. All the extra booth necessities = check. Trailer loaded = check. Nanny and Paps here = check. Bags packed = almost. Time to leave for Houston = tomorrow.
It seems that we have been sewing non-stop for the past week on all of the goodies for our Market booth. This time around we decided to hold off on our sample sewing until the week before (we know, we know... not the best idea...) so that we could use some of the great new fabrics we wanted to include: namely, Pam Kitty Love, due out in December, designed by our wonderful, cute friend, Pam. As you can see above, we used everything she sent us, practically down to the last scrap! I suppose we could say 'all's well that ends well', since we sewed up the last little happy girl apron this afternoon, and everything's done and loaded!! Yay!!!
Sadly, we have to leave our other/better half here at home: Kristie/Mom and Abiah. We're going to be so sad without them! Abiah has kindly loaned us her camera, so we're obligated to take some good pictures for them. The other night at the table someone came up with the idea of carrying around a recorder so we could make sure they would stay up to date in the end and we wouldn't forget any important happenings. I think we decided against that --- no promises though! So, Bug will be handling the blog while we're gone.... she's so cute, she's just bound to do a good job.
Oh, and did I mention that in the past week we had the birthday party for this little hooligan + a graduation party for the other little hooligan, Abiah Hope Kingery??? Oh, yes, we squeezed those in too. Saturday night and Sunday night, respectively. Along with deciding to enlarge the storage space under my bed today, naturally, with 5 1/4" stands. So, a little cleaning under the bed happened too (how does it get so dusty under a bed?? I guess I'll save that for another day.). Did I mention that I'm a little tired? Yes, I think I'll sleep all some on the way to Houston.
Off we go! We would greatly appreciate prayers as we travel, and that Market will be a big success! We'll plan on reporting back when we get home. Sorry to say we won't be taping it....
Hugs and kisses!
Achaia ~for all
Oh, oh, oh, I just have to give a shout out to some new fabrics that I put up recently!! They're just that great, and it wouldn't be fair for me to keep them all to myself ourselves. So, what are you waiting for?? Go see Garden Party, Happy Land, Hua Hua Lu Lu, and The Simple Life!!! They're all cute! xxx
Can't wait to see you all!
