Manic Mondays Indeed!

Looking at my blog posts, I have been not keeping up like my normal self. Life and work hit all of a sudden, not to mention the fact that last week, my family of six, my parents, sister, grandma and her good friend, took a five day vacation to visit Orlando and Disney World. As you can see, my son is not afraid to get into the magic of Disney! He had fun in Epcot getting to be one of the street performers in Japan.

Now, I am back home. Going crazy trying to get back into the swing of things. Dance classes, son wants to start wrestling and I have a big craft show coming up on Hilton Head on the 15th.

Add to that, I am venturing into eBay groups and have a few launches that I need to get ready for, and you have one wired seamstress! But I love it and treasure every last stress. I am blessed to be able to stay home and do something that gives me great pleasure, while getting to spend time with all my kids.

Speaking of my loving kids, my chipmunk decided the Monday before we left that her hair was a bit too long and cut into the side of her hair! My mom came to the rescue and fixed it up really nice. She looked like a true Pixie walking around the Magic Kingdom in her mixed matched outfit and fairy wings! As far as she was concerned, she was a fairy, and a beautiful one at that!

Be on the look out for some great holiday shopping sales in the Artfire shops starting soon!

A Few of My Earlier Sewing Attempts

Going through photos late last week, I came across some "interesting" pictures. Pictures of Donkey and Monkey is outfits that I created! I have more but thought that I would go ahead and show you all these.

Here is monkey dressed up as a mouse for Halloween! Isn't he just cute? I think he was like 3 months old? His sister was a mouse too. That picture will come later.




Here he was many years later as the dashing super hero....... BATMAN! His face is all washed out, but you get the idea, right?

























And here, you see my handy work in an old family portrait. Yep, I made both of them outfits. It's so much easier making little girl clothes. Plus it's hard to find patterns for little boys. But I have to say, even back then, I did a pretty good job! I have other pictures that I will find, scan and post.

Going down memory lane is kinda fun.....
