So Much to Do, So Little Time

At work this week, I have close to 200 items to embroider.  It makes my eyes tired thinking about the piles and boxes waiting for me.  Consequently, I am headed in to work this morning (and likely tomorrow) earlier than usual.  Consequently, this post will be rather short.

Machine embroidery--as I have learned it--is actually quite enjoyable.  I especially like it when I can put my earbuds in and listen to a book on my iPod and NOT have to answer the phones at work.  Stopping to shift gears at the ring of the phone is what gets me to the point that I make mistakes.  Not that I am perfect, I never claimed that, but my concentration gets broken and I lose track of what step I'm on or what, exactly, I'm doing.  That's why I like to tune-out with my iPod.  It helps keep me focused.

As a word of suggestion, however.  Should you ever need shirts embroidered with your company's logo or your name--please do this embroiderer a favor:  Chose a scrub top or something that doesn't stretch, and especially one that isn't silky AND stretches.  Yikes!  Those give me headaches.

I'm off to face the threads of my future today!  Wish me luck--and no stretchy shirts!
