Hi everyone! Just wanted to jump on here and give a couple quick updates for the business. Business is wide open, which is a wonderful problem to have. I've thought and prayed about this for a bit before deciding that as of Aug 1, I will start charging a $25 fitting fee for all wedding dress fittings, and $10 for other formal fittings, as well as fittings that have several items at a time. These fittings sometimes take half an hour or more, during which time I'm unable to be working on actual alterations. If the need is minimal, that fee will be applied to the final cost of the alterations. I appreciate all of the support and still try to keep my pricing reasonable in a world where everything is going up. Prayers appreciated as we push forward, and with God's help, continue to Alter Lives one stitch at a time ❤️

Altering Lives will only be open for dropoffs and pickups today from around 10 this morning til around 2 or 3 this afternoon. I am under the weather and do not want to make anyone else sick. Fittings will need to be scheduled for another day. I apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. Please feel free to drop off items that are marked or do not need to be fitted for you. Thanks

Our most recent quilting project. Given to a very special veteran at our church thankful for all of our military ❤️.
Pieces include denim from some very special people as well as some of the red pieces belonged to some members of our family.
Just an example of some of the things that can be done from clothing items.
Good job Courtney for designing and piecing this quilt top!

Vacation Announcement
I will be on vacation next week, May 12-16. My daughter, Courtney Caldwell will be at the shop daily only from 9am-12pm for pickups and drop offs that are already marked. We will not be doing fittings next week. We appreciate the support that our ever expanding community has shown us over the last 8 months. God is Good and we pray we'll be here to support and be of service to our clients for a very long time. If you need to reach me prior to May 12 or need a fitting before the 19th, please contact me directly to schedule you ASAP. Thanks again 😊

Our easy Boston Cream Pie recipe is simplified using a cake mix, though with a simple technique is still has the classic sponge cake texture.

Friendly reminder, if you have items at the shop, and you've been contacted to pick them up, please arrange a time to get them. We understand that you can't always readily make a trip, or even pay for things right away, but we are very limited in storage space in the 400 sq ft area we rent, and are bringing in new items daily. Currently receiving spring and summer wedding dresses, wedding party attire, as well as prom formals, which are all larger items. If you can't come right away, please reach out to me so that I at least know your intentions. We love servicing all our customers, but need to rotate it out asap. Thanks for understanding ❤️.
