"Girl's Night In....."

Once a month, here at TTD we have "employee-sew-in-night" on a Friday night when the store is closed. It's really fun to all be together to share ideas and projects. And, no-one has to run the store, everyone waits on themselves and we all help each other out if needed. I decided to take some pictures from our recent "night-in" to show you.  Here are Nan (front left), Deanna (next to her), Cindy (one of our show and special event helpers, in the pink tie-dye. She actually has a real job, she's a PE teacher.) and Miss Sherry (front in the blue hoodie). That's Jane in the back, diligently sewing away!

Some of us wore our delicious wool slippers from Garnet Hill (Christmas presents). They were irresistable in pink and green! Don't you agree? Let me tell you, these slippers kept my feet warm all winter long at home. Sometimes even too warm!  Although I'm finding that I'm having more and more "personal summers" as my friend Mindy would say (I think that's from Menopause The Musical).

So I managed to complete 4 flannel pillowcases for my kids, Haley and Garrison (aka; Buddy), AND I finished this New Girl purse (thanks to my friend Mary Lynn) that I started for Haley back in August. So it was a productive night inspite of my kids calling me every hour wanting to know when I was coming home!

This fabric line is called Metro Blue by Michele D'Amore for Marcus Brothers. It has been a really good seller in the store. It went like "hot cakes" when we got it in the store. 

Haley's not a real "girly girl" like her mom, but she liked this fabric alot. Probably because it wasn't PINK!  If you know what I mean! I'm not sure you can have too much pink? It's kind of like lipgloss! You know how much I love lipgloss!

So, we are off to another show! We leave on Monday for The AQS Show in Paducah. If you are planning to go to the show, come look us up. We will be right next to the pool! Woo-Hoo!! It will probably be like a sauna!! I am packin' plenty of fans! And not just the one I have to have next to my head to sleep!

Anyway, I'll try to take plenty of pictures in Paducah and put them on the blog in the next couple of weeks.

I couldn't resist. The last one was too funny!
Have a pink day! God Bless,

P.s. "Happy Birthday Nickie! I love you!"

That looks like so much fun. And the matching slippers look so warm and wonderful. I haven't been to Paducah in years -- say "hey" for me.
