i have worked 20 days in a row right now. i by no means mean 8 or 9 hour days. i have been leaving when i can't stand up anymore. i hired a girl to help me, she came in for 2 days, said she was coming the last 2 and i still have yet to see her. i think the pace i keep (and expect others to keep) is a problem. i do not like a 2 hour job to last 8 or more and if you say you can sew, damnit, you better know what you are doing. so many people think that sewing entails having a pattern and making it. that is not the case in this business. we make our own patterns, and make everything from nothing. so, i am trying to keep up this schedule by myself, with mike and josh doing all but sewing and patterning. i am so tired, (see beautiful picture below of me)................ i have happy customers though and am booming along with new customers and repeat old ones. the picture is of a rhino enclosure i finished today. it is much harder than it looks. so many things involved with making these. anyway, i have to get back to work. i have upholstery for a boat to finish tonight.
details,,,,,,,,,,,, roll up windows, wind flap underneath, removeable panels to use indepentally or alone, easy access in and out, flaps to cover zippers....................
this is me after 20 days of working. yep, i am so beautiful. every mans dream. cold, tired and totally windblown. (the cold and wind picked up yesterday and have yet to subside)
