Ramblings of An Intern

Mandie Lenar here with a refletion on my internship. Intruding on anyone's workplace is a daunting task, and the usual mindest of an intern is to stay quiet and out of the way. But here at Unique Boutique and Bridal I got the chance to do some real work from the moment I arrived and put to use some of my old sewing lessons and 4-H experiene. Said work was on an actual wedding dress someone might actually wear (which blows my mind, since a girl's wedding is the most important day of her life). The program Suzy Zeller has set up here is something special. I often personify things in my mind, and if I were to personify these dresses - she is giving them a second chance at life. Instead of being thrown away after one use they get to be made into something new entirely. I have never been the most talented at sewing (especially cutting - in Kindergarten I was so bad they told me to practice on coupons at home), but with the guidance Suzy has given me I feel as if I am accomplishing something even if I don't know exactly how I'm doing it! Some stuff had to be redone, but for the most part things are moving along smoothly, and I'm excited for the end result. Safe to say I'm happy with my internship choice. :)
