You know the old saying..."So much to do; so little time." That pretty well sums up how I feel these days. We are up to our eyeballs with school. There are projects to complete, lessons to do, and tests to take. Many days we've found ourselves doing school up until time to start dinner. After dinner is the battle of the shower. Then, once I get the kids in bed, it's my time.
Normally, I work on setting up the next day's lessons, and writing my posts. However, right now I'm making a Halloween costume. My daughter has decided to be a Colonial American girl. After many hours searching the internet for patterns or even images of historical colonial fashion, I'm now making my own pattern based off of a couple of pictures of good reproductions. There are a few historical patterns out there, but they cost more than I am willing to pay.
It's coming along nicely (after a couple of tries). I'll post about it more once I get it complete, although I keep forgetting to take pictures as I finish each stage. I'll start you off with a picture of my inspiration. This is the best photo I've found of the type of outfit my daughter had in mind. What do you think? What will your kids be for Halloween? Are you making or buying costumes?
