March 2 - I Made This

For this day’s prompt, I could think of a lot of food that I can share that I cooked or baked.  Then I remembered that as a stage mom (yes, I am there every time my kids perform :)) who wants to spend little on costumes for school activities for the kids, I made one for my son’s United Nations celebration.

Did I mention that I hand sewn this costume?  Yup, the bottom one was easy since it followed the pajama pattern.  But the top part was a bit time consuming.  I am not so confident when it comes to tops.  My fingers were sore after and the stress I put upon myself was high I did get sick after.  So much for saving on a ready-made costume and getting myself sick in the process.

Looking back though, I did have fun.  I know I’ll be making more costumes in the future and other sewing projects but with a sewing machine already.

March 1 - L is for... leopard print

I’m making up for the last month’s photo a day challenge since I was not able to post any.  Although the first days of March I did take pictures but they were left inside the memory card.  So here is my way of catching up.  Instead of one photo a day, I’m doing two: one for March and one for April.  When I thought about this prompt last month, what came into mind is the leopard print.
