That's right you read that right... I don't know how it happened exactly, it was all a blur. I was feeling guilty for not being in Allie's class as a helper lately...we were late that day and I had to take her in to drama. So, I offered to Miss Morris (the kindergarten teacher) to make the other duck costumes while I made Allie's. The drama teacher jumped down from the stage and was so excited I was helping with costumes. I felt so happy I had offered, until she proceeded to list off the 22 costumes that needed to be made, oh and can you have them done in a week...great. I was in shock, so I just nodded and smiled. It wouldn't have even been that bad, but Oliver got the call that he got the Huggies commercial, so there went Wednesday and Thursday. I started late Friday night, then Saturday, I had the afternoon. We got them all done by 5, and were showered and dressed in time for "Fiddler on the Roof" that evening. Thanks to Ben, my creative assistant, and the girls, my sizing models. (Yes, half of the class is Izzie's size) But I think they turned out pretty good...The drama teacher suggested that I do this more often....um, no. Allie was very proud, a sewing mom is very rare here in LA. I actually was asked several times if I was a costume designer. Nope...just a personal stylist, maid, cook, and driver for 3 little ones, not quite as glamorous :)
This is Allies big acting debut...one of the "Ducks" in "The Farmer Lost his Hat"...they all just had one little line, but they were sure cute with their feather bums...

Seriously?!?! You are just too amazingly talented! The costumes are DARLING! I can not believe that you did them that quickly too. Wow!
oh my goodness, you are too nice! I would have said no way! those are amazing, I can't believe you thought of all those great ideas much less figured out how to do them!
Oh my GOSH! You did such a good job on the costumes. I love them! I swear the creative gene runs in your family. Hopefully Lily will get it.
those are awesome. I love the goat. You're too nice. I would have NEVER been able to pull that off. Good Work!
that is crazy, but really, if I had to pick one person in the world who I thought could handle a task that impossible, I would have picked you. You are always creative and always so productive! I wish I could have seen the play, because the costumes are so cute.
