I'm back!!

I feel as though I have been in another country for the past 2 months. I was greedy and came out of semi-retirement from the upholstery shop to accept another commercial job. When I inspected it, I thought it would be a 3-4 week engagement. Even with working 12-14 hour days, 7 days a week (I even worked New Years Day) it took me almost 2 months to complete the job. When I first met with the owners, they were not going to have all the booths redone. They did not tell me they had changed their minds, just started bringing them over as fast as I had room to unload them. I had to order more fabric and foam, as well as rearrange my schedule.

I visited the completed restaurant yesterday. It looks great!! They did a wonderful job with their designs and colors. The building had been neglected for many years, so it is great to see it back in service.

One of the fountain booths was on the front page of the newspaper, only because the owners were standing in front of it.
Well, Christmas came and went without me hardly noticing. I did take Christmas off from the job. But hardly stopped long enough for the Christmas parties that were booked at the barn. Donya did a great job filling in at the barn for me.

Now I am looking forward to a brief visit to Florida in February. A few things are booked at the barn between now and then, and several jobs at the shop must be completed before I go. (They were pushed back while working on the restaurant.) It is really good to sit down long enough to write on the blog again.
