Nine down, six to go. Past the halfway mark!

Not at *all* sure if I can maintain this pace through tomorrow, though. *Gulp*

And I'm hearing some great music on the radio while I sew, and wish like crazy I could be out dancing tonight. Actually, I wish I could be doing almost *anything* but what I am tonight. BUT... I made a commitment, dammit, and I'll see it through come hell or high water or aching shoulders or arthritic fingers (yes, my latest damn-but-being-over-50-sucks complaint -- my fingers are getting achy and gnarled!!!! Where have my pretty belly-dancer's hands gone? *SO* not fair!).

Good luck!

Thanks, Lin -- the healing vibes are much appreciated! Hope you're having a wonderful trip -- I'll read your notes, as Morro Bay is one of those "future destinations" for us.

Ow for the fingers; I so understand that! You're going great guns; do you have to get them all done this weekend? And lanolin on the fingers is great for the soreness from sewing lots, really!

You'll always have pretty belly dancer's hands in my eyes, dearheart!

I want to get them distributed to all the girls by Thanksgiving so they're not hanging over my head during the holiday. This is only Phase 2, mind you (but it's the hardest part -- adjusting gathers and pinning & basting on waistbands). After the girls get final fittings, I have to do the final waistband stitching, sew on some velcro closures, and hem them. Oy.

I can't handle the smell of lanolin! But I appreciate the thought. *Hugs*
