Sometime in November when I was thinking of what to get the girls for Christmas, I had this brilliant idea that I could sew them them each a bunch of new outfits for their baby dolls. It seemed like such a good idea at the time. I spent a lot of time at Jo-Anns getting all the material and patterns for ten doll outfits, five for each girl.
It does not seem like such a good idea now, nine days before we leave for Oregon, with only two dresses done. There were some snags in getting started on this little project, and now that I have been able to start it’s going much slower than anticipated what with one thing and another. I’ve never really felt the Christmastime stress that a lot of people talk about, but I sure am this year. So why am I blogging instead of sewing?
up to 2 – that’s good!
i LOVE that you are doing that!! i hope for your sake that you got it all done but then again, i’m a sucker for the wandering deadline so even if you didn’t it’s all good!
i ended up finishing 6 of 10. not bad, but i’m still disappointed!
You’ve already given your girls the best present of all…….you….just being there for them. That really is what kids want most of all. I was always surprised when kids would open up and talk about their families at school when I was subbing. Mom, Dad, and gparents are consistent picks for their fav. super hero. and DJ is right the wandering deadline is a wonderful thing.
