But it was fun - and something I worked on all week, so I am sharing it.
I woke up on Monday with a Post-It note on my computer... My girls know, if they want anything done - this is the best way to make sure I see it. Sad, I know.
The Post-It had a list of costume requirements... Allison and her boyfriend had decided to be Mickey and Minnie for Halloween... Which means... I needed to get to work.
So, all week long, in the off hours of my work days, I was sewing and creating their costumes. I guarantee - if they had chosen anything, but Disney - I would not have been as passionate about it.
But they chose Disney, and I was in my glory!
I started off making Allison's skirt... And she was thrilled with how it turned out! Which, in my life, never happens. Big time score for Mom. Whoohoo!
Then, I came up with a brilliant idea for their shirts... But there was just no way I could get them done on time if I did them by hand. So, I did an SOS call on Facebook, and one of my very talented digitizer friends (Heather of froufroubyheathersue.com) did a last minute favor (Thanks Heather) and digitized my idea! I was soooo excited - because this pulled everything together for me. Score again!
Since this was a new design, and no one had ever stitched it before - I had to test it before I put it on their shirts... So this took a lot of time too.
Aside from that... I was shopping all week, looking for items to complete Gus' outfit... It was kind of crazy - but the end result was totally worth it!
The kids were thrilled, and they had a great time. And I got to do some fun Disney sewing! Life is good!
Looking forward to next year - as Allison is cooking up another Disney theme. <3

They are too cute! I love the skirt. I need one in my everday wardrobe!
