Did you have good Halloween? We certainly did. We dressed up Sophia as a penguin--I had fun making the costume. I thrifted a nifty jumper, added the front furry patch, some wings. Then I made a hat (lined in sushi fabric!) and attached a beak made of felt. Everytime I sew for fun, I like it more and more!I had fun making her a penguin. Hmmm, what should we do next year?
And the big news is, this past Saturday, Sophia walked! All the way down the hall!!!!! I guess I'm in for it now. She's getting braver each time, taking more and more steps. I'm so proud of my little girl. She turns 1 year on November 9th. I've been planning a big bash. I'm going to make the cake and everything.
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by your creative ambitions? I was thinking about this today. There are so many art forms and crafts that I want to try. Of course when I learn a new one, I don't want to do anything easy, I want to jump right in to the intermediate/hard projects! Of course I try and it doesn't always come out right. And then I get frustrated with myself for trying too many new things and not sticking with something until I get good at it. But then I realized, Gosh darn it! I'm a fabulous seamstress! I'm great at it!
It's good to know you're great at something, isn't it?

Sophia is beautiful...love the costume, too. Walked all the way down the hall...good for her. Now she'll be into everything.
I know what you mean about crafts...I want to do it all!!
That is so cute!! And walking...yikes! Now you'll have to start moving all your stuff higher and higher and higher...our house looks like a 4 foot high flood washed through! (and then left a lot of toys all over the floor....)
great job!
HIGHER? Oh no! I don't know where we're going to put everything!
You are such a great seamstress - did you look at your little penguin?! Women would give a limb to be able to sew something like that!
