What's been keeping my stress level elevated lately?

Making two bridesmaid dresses!
I was asked if I could sew these dresses before our Florida trip. I told them I couldn't even start until after girl's camp and that would give me a month. Easy enough. But then the bridesmaids had girls camp...delayed fitting the muslins a week.
Now I don't like marathon sewing...I make too many mistakes. And I like to keep up my daily routines , exercise, cleaning (never spend to much time doing that one) and laundry. And I don't get much sewing done if Karl's home...time to do projects together or just have fun. I can't sew on Sunday or Monday...I work a long day a Monday. And I had to work sewing in between meetings...I only had 7 extra meetings in the past 3 weeks.
So this is where I've spent any spare moments.

And yesterday I finished two of these (plus hemming the mother of the bride dress, a sash for the flower girl and a clip gizmo to cinch in the temple dress)...with two days to spare before the wedding! ahhhh....life is good. Now to get ready to go to Arizona at 5 am tomorrow.
