Elly and Jenny are done designing their fall line.

Here's the goods: Lena, Alison, Hem Ställe, Orchard House.

Now the work of making the actual clothes that they will sell begins. Between Elly with the dress-making and me re-doing the basement, Tova has learned how to make the bed, drive, cook, pay the electric bill online, skin a buck, and dress a pheasant. All on her own.

Congratulations to them both for overcoming great odds, including but not limited to:

  • Breaking serger blades
  • Husbands in med school and boyscout camp
  • Fabric company errors
  • Poobutton-dot-com and USB humping dogs
  • Table saws
  • Moving targets
  • Me making fun of their poses
  • An acute shortage of little slave kids to do the sewing for them

Nice work you guys!

Hopper fishing + picnic + chocolate cake from IGA = the best day of the summer!

Elly and Tova also came (they took the pictures).
