24- The number of hours that I worked on etsy orders this weekend
16- The number of packages that I took to the post office yesterday
15- The number of bibs completed
12- The number of onesies or shirts completed
10- The number of blankets (all personalized) completed
9- The number of burp cloths completed
3- The number of trips to Joann Fabrics
2- The number of tutus and number of times I had a bobbin explode
1- The number of times my needle broke
All of this plus countless interrupptions equals a crazy weekend of sewing. It seriously is a Christmas miracle that all the orders are finished. I have a couple more to do in the next week that are not needed until January, but I am desperate to get everything out the door so I can have a much needed break.
What am I going to do with all my free time? Oh, I have big plans. I have all these new ideas for the shop plus things I want to make for Emerson and friends...Oh, and did I mention that I actually want to enjoy Christmas with my family?
Here is one more number for you: 8- This is the number of days that Emerson has gone refusing to drink milk out of a cup. I am not giving in this time. The doctor said it could be a couple weeks, so I am sticking it out. This ordeal is teaching me a lot about how Emerson gets her stubbornness from her mommy. Someone has to win though!
Here are some cute pics that Steve took this weekend at the park with Emy.

Seriously, I almost wrote this EXACT same post last night, but then I just didn't have the energy. Mine would have read
4 dozen capes
60 squares of baby clothes
8 masks
5 slings
and so on.
I guess it really wouldn't have taken very long, but I wasn't up for numbers... :) Doesn't it feel good to mail it all out!?!
Oh man! Well congrats on the success of your shop! I hope you get to enjoy Christmas very soon.
Dang Gina. That is intense!
WOW!!! Let me know when you need to begin hiring!
You have been busy!
Hang in there on the milk drinking...I have a stubborn one too. It can be tough!
