My creative space...


A Christmas day conversation:

Aunty Rebecca: What would you like me to make you for your 4th birthday this year?

Little A: Umm... an Ariel costume.

Aunty Rebecca: uuuuhhhh.... okaaaayyy.....

This is just a very small section of a desk covered in mermaid sketches, sparkly pink, sea green shimmer, tulle, cotton, sequins and pathetic attempts at making quilted sea shells... this morning things are finally looking up ;)

    Can't wait to see how this costume is going to turn out! Your table looks very intersting indeed! But maybe next time you could suggest a ghost costume! (sheet with holes for eyes) :)

    Lesson number one - NEVER ask a pre-schooler what they want you to make for them. In my case the reply was a tiger costume. So I obliged. Fur 2 inches long clogging up my sewing machine. It's what you do for someone you love - but never again!

    Your beautiful creation will be truly loved and cherished by the little mermaid.

    I've got goosebumps. I had a Melody at my place for at least 2 years. I can't wait to see it finished.
