The Weekend Pile Up!

Dike Work on the Mississippi.

Cheryl in Muscatine.

 Yesterday, we took a small break from stockings and visited Muscatine.  Mostly to get Groceries and supplies.  I think we ran a short 2 miles because we had to get back home so we could tackle the next batch of stockings.   We even  limited it to 20 stockings so we could finish at a decent hour.  

Today, we just finished 30 stockings and there are over 50 waiting for us for tomorrow!   We are running out of Aqua Blue felt now.   30 of the 50 orders are for Red felt.   Supplies of buttons are beginning to run low and we are not even to Thanksgiving yet!   This was not supposed to happen this year as Cheryl had already ordered enough felt and Buttons for the entire  year weeks ago!

But sales seem to be outpacing last year's run.  Both Cheryl and I are beginning to panic just a little.  

Rocket the New Shop Cat.

And Keyboard Distraction. 

But once the supplies are gone, we will be forced to be done.  What else is there to say.   The sooner we get there the sooner we can kick back and relax.   We have to tell ourselves that we are in control. ( that is why we work for ourselves, after all)   Even when it seems like we are NOT in control from time to time. 

So,  it is dark out side.  6 PM and we are still working.  I'm answering Convos while having three cats on my keyboard.  I don't know why they choose to lay on me while I am working, but there it is...   It does make for difficult typing though. 

Thanks for stopping in.  It is late.  We are Tired.  Time for Beer and Cookies.
