In other news. . .
I busted out my old sewing machine (emphasis on OLD - it's olive green for crying out loud,) blew off the dust and made my niece Kathryn an indian costume. You can see another picture of her behind superman on our halloween post. That's my nephew Taylor next to her.
It turned out pretty nifty I thought, so this is my chance to toot my own horn to the wide world.

Very nice work! I didn't know you could make beads on your sewing machine... maybe it's not as old as you think.

That is such a great costume. Kathryn looks so cute in it. Did you follow a pattern?

Nope, but I sure shoulda! It turned out great, but I had to add a strip on the side of the skirt to make it a little bigger and open up the side seam to allow for velcro side fly so she could fit it. Hehe, sewing is a learning experience. She beamed like crazy when she saw it and put it on, so I would do it again in a heartbeat just for that.

I have learned two things from sewing. 1) I save myself a lot of time if I follow a pattern very closely. 2) After I finish a sewing project, I know all the flaws and corrections that were put into it. Others, fortunately, do not look so closely.
It is Sunday evening and Adam and I wish more than anything that we could be in Utah as the family gets together.
