Sewing machine redeemed

I turn my back on Sean in the crib for one minute and look what happens....

that is a true thumbsucker if I ever saw one..

In other news...

Last year we (Ann and I) made Dylan a froggy costume

it was not easy and I vowed not to do it again. Until February when pregnancy brain struck and I decided I could definitely make BOTH kids costumes. So I ordered patterns and fabric thinking I was getting a great head start. Then it was busy season, then I was a large uncomfortable pregnant person, then I had a newborn .... you get the idea. So we started the costumes late, and then realized that Dylan had a growth spurt and his costume was 2" too short. We thought about still doing Sean's, but it was pretty complicated and at the end of the day he isn't doing much treat or treating this year. So we threw in the towel and I went to the internet with my credit card.

But I needed to accomplish something with at least some of the fabric I had bought. So today I made Dylan a dinosaur hat..

I was able to do it in under 2 hours with both kids - not too shabby. So why not push the envelope and add a dinosaur shirt?

2 projects between lunch and dinner (and I actually made dinner too). Not a bad day.
