Summer Camp - Week Three


These ladies constantly amaze me.  This week, for sure, there were the usual fantastic designs and impressive technical skills and fun and shenanigans. . . . But we had a truly defining moment where the Designers all came together and showed their fine character. 

On Friday – Show Day – we simply lost track of the time (there are always a zillion last minute details) when SUDDENLY we noticed that the Show was supposed to start in FIFTEEN MINUTES and we hadn’t done our usual transformation of the Sewing Room into Glamorous Theatre.  OH NO!!!!!!  The Girls (who are typically doing the finishing touches on their hair and makeup at this time) threw it into WARP SPEED x 100!! Sewing machines, scissors, chairs, tables, brooms, plates of cookies, ramps and stage were all tossed into the air and landed in perfect position . . . and we were only about 20 minutes late.  Un-BELIEVABLE!  What an extraordinary group of poised, talented, big-hearted, Team Players!
