I am at it again. Sewing. Well, first I had to procrastinate—"never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after." So, yeah, I procrastinated; but now I am sewing. Well not right now.
A couple months ago my sister-in-law, Becky, asked me to make her and her daughter some dresses to wear at her sister's wedding. And I said, "Sure!" And I meant it, too. And then I went through an incredibly lethargic, apathetic, lazy phase that really isn't quite over yet. But the wedding is this Friday (the 17th), so day before yesterday (Thursday, the 9th) I finally got started. Fortunately the patterns are easy; Becky's dress is all done except for buttons and the hem. I'll get Emma's done on Monday.
But then, Halloween is coming up and we'll need costumes galore in my house. Rachel has one that she's borrowing from her cousin, but that's the only costume we have ready. Kaylie wants to be a ballerina, Jessica wants to be a flower, I think Ryan is going to be Frankenstein. Michael is going to take care of his own costume; but I don't know about anyone else yet. Well, Bruce has a pretty cool costume that I made for him last year. I think I need a costume—why should everyone else have all the fun? But, like Cinderella, I can only make mine when everyone else's is done. (Hmmm. That sounds whiny and negative, which is not what I intended.)
Anyway, there's lots of sewing to be done around here. And after Halloween I'll have to think about Christmas sewing. But hey! I still have two months before I really have to start on that, don't I?
