Time for baby

I have some new hats but no model. We're waiting for him to arrive...
Nov. 5th we are scheduled to be at the hospital at the unearthly hour of 5:30a.m.!

I am ready to meet this little guy but of course I have my list of things to worry about while we are gone. Will the dog behave himself with the sitter, will he leave the cat alone? Will the fish tanks go back online if we have electrical outtages? Will the cat use the shelter we made for her (she's an outdoor kitty unfortunately)? Will I make it through one more C-Section?

I have two orders to get out by Monday and I have been given a possible serial set of orders if I can figure out how to get the customer's image onto her shirts. I love a challenge but its just not working how I'd like, her design has small details. She doesn't want embroidery which would be such a cinch for me digitize and stitch out, but I understand these are yoga shirts and you don't want ANYTHING rubbing, you want soft, pliable. Her design is fairly large too. Hmmm....

I have my last dr. appt on Halloween day which just is downright inconvenient. I'll have to bust my tail to get back here (2 hr drive) to help with costumes. I have no idea what the plan is for that day. I used to love the holiday, but for years I've dreaded it. So much work for so little time in costume.

On a happy note, I got my labels in this week from Custom Couture Label Co. at Etsy.com! She did such a great job! Thanks, Dianna! I am going to have some new ones done after the baby is born when I get my other label going, but that's a secret ;o) I have another business in the brainworks but we'll see how much time I have to devote to it. Can't think warm hats will sell that well in summer!

Well, it's light out now and I need to get the house going. There is lots on the agenda today- orders to mail, get a child ready to travel for an out of town tournament, prepare a dish for a company "picnic", go to University's Halloween physics demo...

Behind the times...



I am falling behind... as the due date comes in close (first week in Nov) I am slowing down...
Muses brought me two more kerchiefs,



a brown boho, a partially finished (ran out of yarn) cabin in the woodstock hat and today a Martian fairy needle felted fleece hat.
Overall, I am ready for cooler weather, ready for some "get up and go!"
Right now I've got to post and go, but will return.
