Vogue

OK – I admit it, it’s fun to have a baby to dress up. Ten years ago life was so crazy and expensive with three toddlers at once, that I was just glad they had clothes! I love to catch the retail clearance racks and consignment sales to find “different” clothes. I’ve been looking at some boutique clothing websites and my eye always goes to the altered clothing.

I’m not much of a seamstress (this is fact; I’m not being humble;-), but I’ve always enjoyed crafting. I cleaned out AnnaMaria’s closet recently with the change of the seasons. She usually wears about 2T now, but she had some 18 month jeans that still fit in the waist. Since they were too short, I thought they would be fun to use for a sewing experiment. This top still fit also, but the matching pants had gotten too short.

So, for a few bucks worth of fabric we have a new outfit! I feel like I never catch up at work, so it was very rewarding to actually finish something. Yea, it’s the goofy little stuff in life that gives us pleasure. And….can you tell she enjoys the runway?
