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?
