~Well, actually my day was spent cutting~
I made a point of doing something other than watching the obligatory DVR'd shows I usually watch on my day off, and decided to do something productive instead. To that end I decided to make a FEW burpies for the store.
I eventually ended up spending my day today making 36 Burpies
I began at 8:30 am and finished at 2:30 pm working non stop. It was worth every minute...believe me.
You see I only have to do this today, not tomorrow, not the next day, just today! This job is a tedious, messy job, of which, I have done for over 150 burpies during the life of our business.
In making the burpies I must relinquish my entire dining area, kitchen, carpet, clothing and my own head of hair to the fluff that exploded out of each burpie.
You see, when you cut the terry cloth it releases little bits of white snow-like pieces that cling to anything in their path.
Here I am with a lap full
And here is Ella lying amongst some of the scraps
Here they are sewn wrong side out
And right side out
And finally here they are finished and tied and ready for the sales!
All in all a lovely, productive, fantastic day!
~Thanks for reading~
