Day 7, Back to work after Christmas

   Yesterday was Christmas, Justin made me take the day off :-p So while Christmas should have been the 7th day of MAGFest production, Boxing day is now the 7th day of MAGFest production. This morning I awoke to the sounds of sleet and snow falling from the sky. The plan for the day was to pack up my sewing gear and trek it over to my parent' house, granted the weather made me hesitant to actually do said packing. But work needed to be done and my mom graciously offered to help make things for MAGFest. After gathering up the bags that needed to be made and my sewing machine it was off to my parents' place, the roads were a bit slippery with the slushy mix on the roads. Luckily I arrived safely and in one piece and set to work unloading and setting up my sewing machine on the dining room table. Today was particularly wonderful for production as I can proudly say that my 10 mushroom bags are done and ready to have the Mario mushrooms painted on them. My mom got the outside of the Loot bags sewn together and started on the linings. Before the linings and the outside of the Loot bags can be put together I have to paint the rupee design on them. This coming Saturday the plan is to return to my parents' house so my mom and I can get the Loot bags all done. Tomorrow I'll be painting the mushrooms on the mushroom bags, cutting out the stencil for the Loot bag design and dying feather boas for cat and fox tails. If I'm lucky I'll also be able to cut out the rest of the ears for the fox and cat ears. So far I think production is going well, there's still things that need to be finished on the products but its all coming together rather well, there are seven days till MAGFest, not counting today. I'm confident I can get this product done in time, I can't wait!!
