Tax preparers aren't the only busy people this time of year: so are seamstresses like Lynn Aceto, who are working overtime getting prom gowns dance-ready.
When I stopped by the other day to drop off a ripped exercise top that needed to be mended, Lynn was working on a pretty mauve beaded gown that needed to be shortened -- just one of the alteration and repair projects that filled her work table.
A few days later, when I went to pick up the top (better than new!), she and her son were just getting home. She said he'd noticed that she'd been working nonstop for hours and needed a break, so he insisted on taking her out for a late breakfast.
Lynn's business is called "Sew What?" (her email is iamlotuslady@yahoo.com) and I'll bet she is one of the few seamstresses who shares her sewing room with two crested geckos.
