Stars and Dresses

We are shorthanded at our business and I'm having to fill in. Boy this is really cutting into my sewing time!! LOL I'm hoping for a new employee soon. I see a lot of help wanted signs, but unemployment numbers are still up. Do people not want to work? 

 Later turkey reds, I think.  This is an old print.
 More dresses received! Thank you Ruth and Barb,  
 Sharon and Nancy.  (If you see your dress and I have not acknowledged you, kindly let me know. I've lost my paper with last weeks names)
This is a tall suitcase almost full! I am going to put them in space bags but not until a few days before I leave .

Thank you all! Love to you on a lovely fall feeling kind of day.

  1. I am acquainted with a man that went unemployed for a couple of years, despite offers of work, because it wasn't what he wanted to do. Meanwhile, his poor wife and five kids muddled through. Maddening!!
    Hope you can find someone to fill your spot soon, and get back to your own routine--especially at the sewing machine. : )
    Fun to see the variety of dresses. Do you have a count?

  10. Oh I would so work for you and you would be pleased for sure. I am in Ohio and you Oregon so that will not work. Jobs are surpressed here and any I could get would want me to work weekends. Church is not negotiable for me. Hubby works so we are doing fine. Good luck finding the quality of worker you need.
