My newest problem is I made new window drapery treatments for my LR, DR, and family room. Now everyone wants to know if I'll do it for them. I decided to tell them I was starting a business and my hourly rate was $30.' and it took an average of 20 hours per treatment. No one has returned with a followup. Ha, Ha.

My daughter is the worst. I use to make all her clothes and the rest of the family too. It was much easier when they were little no alterations. Now ..... I just leave it sit until it doesn't fit anymore. lol Now that I have moved in with my brother he has started doing the same thing. I really need to learn to say no.But since I am the "poor" relation and he is giving me a roof over my head....
