The Social was a SUCCESS!

or at least, I think it was! I was hoping to bring in around $2000, and we made $1600. Which, considering we only were able to generate 68 bodies, is pretty darn good! I am sufficently pleased with our results. I just wish other members of my team were.
The social itself was kinda fun. It took us a long time to set up the prizes, but once that was done there really wasn't anything left to do except mingle. Sebastian had a really good night with Daddy too. He slept until 10:30 and then Sanjay brought him to me to nurse him.
Q) How do you get a big, black, burly bouncer to turn into a great big puddle of goo???
A) Pass him a charming 4 month old baby.

I walked into the bar carrying my son and the bouncers all looked at me and smiled, one of them tickled his foot and asked to see his id. But the biggest of the security guards told me he needed to check him out, and proceeded to pluck him right out of my arms. He bounced him and cradle him and spoke softly to him. Sebastian was quite content with the security guard and relaxed in his arms to check out the joint. I have a picture that I will upload off of my camera as soon as I can.
**SIGH** Why do some brides go looney when they are planning a wedding? I am sewing the wedding party outfits for a wedding this coming weekend. My part is quite simple, the wedding gown is done, and the maid of honors dress is done. The other four bridesmaids are wearing long crepe skirts. I have three of them done, save the waistband and hem, because I want them to try it on a final time to ensure proper fit and length. The fourth one is a maternity skirt so it should prove to be interesting. The looney part? THe bride NOW wants me to add a sheer overlay to the skirts. An overlay that is a completly different pattern then what the skirts currently are, because she wants these inserts at the bottom of the skirt (called godets). There are 8 godets in total around the bottom of the skirt and along the seams of these godets (think triangular pieces of fabric inserted into the bottom of the skirt to make it fuller) she wants to add a teal colored ribbon..up and down each godet.
I DON' HAVE TIME FOR THIS... Plus I think it takes away from the simplicity of the whole outfit. If they were wearing a matching top I would say, sure try it. But the tops she has chosen are long, tunic style, short sleeved t shirts..it hardly complements a crepe covered chiffon skirt. WHATEVER, I am just the seamstress right?
Well I am off to sew, and fold some laundry maybe!!
