Many Many Weddings

Many Many Weddings- 2008 was a record breaking year for my sewing and design business. If you tried to read my blog you already know that. Spring and summer found me and my staff custom fitting women with perfection. The gowns today are made with beautiful fabrics that radiate elegance. Some are embellished with beadwork and lace, and some are just an elegant gown without trims. I love the variety in gowns, it makes my work exciting. I did a quick count last month and we were up to servicing 100 brides! I didn’t tally up the bridesmaids and moms yet. The past 6 months also found me enjoying my new found love of running. I challenged myself by: running 2 5k’s back to back over the fourth of July weekend, running my then 7 month old grandson in a 5k, and recently ran in the Rochester Marathon Relay. I never dreamed I would ever run a marathon, I thought I was destined to only sew them! It was of course the hottest day in Sept. 2008, (it seemed like the hottest day ever) but my team and I finished and we did it just under 6 hours and that was our goal. For those of you runners, I’ll see you at the “Turkey Trot” in Webster on Thanksgiving Day. Then we can eat all day-guilt free!
