Difficult

Difficult is....trying to write on this blog about the shop without revealing any of our surprises for our opening on January 1. Time is ticking by and it doesn't seem like we're making progress very fast. Alan has spent days working on the countertops for our cutting tables and checkout counter. We still have to finish the kitchen area cabinet, finish the bathroom walls and floors once the plumber installs the plumbing and fixtures, finish the cutting tables and checkout counter so we can have electricity installed to the counter for the cash register, finish some of the displays..... Cutting fat quarters of all the fabric has taken - literally - hours and hours and hours. We got our bookkeeping system installed and running and now Marilyn is entering inventory into the system - which also will take hours and hours. When we're not at the shop (or, for some of us, at our day job) we're working on sewing quilt samples for the shop. I can't imagine trying to do this solo!

FYI: 16 days & counting (OMG!)
