I was on a pretty fast track to sew my Studio Dress when an opportunity dropped itself in my lap. I've been researching the possibility of opening a legal assistant business in 2020. I'm feeling pretty confident I can make it happen. This past year has been slim pickings for income and I guess the message is pretty clear I need to make an employment adjustment. My prayers have been for appropriate use of my talents and skills. I was thinking with my sewing. God was thinking my dormant paralegal skills. With 2020 starting next month it seems like a perfect time to make the adjustment.
In the meantime I have a quilt top to quilt and 2 tshirt quilts to sew for Christmas. Those immediate commissions mean I needed to get my Studio Dress off the longarm. I haven't trimmed it yet. I'll work on it later when necessary work is finished. I have my last 2019 show this weekend. I have some new quilts but nothing in the gift category. I'm seriously over the markets. I think I gave them enough rope to hang themselves.
2020 is really going to be different. I also looked through a bunch of my clothes and decided if I dropped a few pounds I could wear more of them comfortably. So I'm back to vigilant eating and trying to kick my Diet Coke habit. I'll continue to rework some clothes because I like the challenge & it's fun!
I am also continuing my commitment to The Grateful Threads Project. I have about 25 quilt tops (10 ready and 15 almost ready) for the spring season 2020. I expect to work close to full-time as a paralegal so I think 25 quilts to quilt will take a good portion of the spring to finish.
Exciting changes!

I know this probably takes a bit of imagination to visualize in its current untrimmed condition. But I think it's going to work!

ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful that you have a new opportunity to generate the income you need. Best of luck with that. The fabric looks great, but no, I have no imagination. =)
