Halloween is coming up. How do I know? Creepy movie trailers are on tv in full force. One of the munchkins ate the remote so I have to turn my head, plug my ears, and sing “la la la, lee lee lee, I can’t hear you” and leave my new neighbors another reason why they should have chosen the next house on their list. My body guard works out of town 18 days a month in 9 day stretches. I haven’t slept in 8 days. One more to go… sigh… yawn.
To distract myself for the last few months I thought I would sew stuff. So I bought fabric, then I stashed it because I couldn’t bring myself to stay up late to sew with it. Then I was so rudely reminded that I have 3 costumes to make and time is running out. Jeremy wants to be a banana holding a monkey (Jake). Store bought- thank you very much last years clearance. Kennedy wants to wear a dress up Rapunzel dress we already have. Bless you my child. Mary wants to be Santa. Seriously. Kaci wants to be a Mermaid Cowgirl. She’s grounded for a month and 1 day.
Ashlyn wants to be a goldfish. I was going to do that last year for Kennedy so that’s just fine with me. I went hunting for my orange fabric and found this in a fabric pile-
Which reminded me that I have some orange satin scraps left over-
Which reminded me that the most adorable boy in the entire universe loves satin things and is constantly on the hunt for something to rub and love on-
Which got me thinking about those scraps and some orange flannel I had saved to make Jeremy pajamas a million years ago. They turned into this-
Because I got off track. I forgot I needed the satin for a goldfish. And I can sew a lovey blanket complete with nuffies (Kennedy’s name for the corners) during nap time. I can’t sew a goldfish during nap time and I can’t sew at night when my arms are all wrapped up under the covers and my mind is racing about self defense techniques.
Maybe I’ll use the rest of the police fabric to make myself a snuggie to sew with. Boogieman proof because of it’s blanket qualities and with the cop print it will trigger 2nd thoughts in anyone else non-monster related right? And I can still use my arms ;o).
Have a great Thursday!
