So much to love about this post Sandra! Maddy's sewing room/art project is a winner!!! As is her portrayal of you! I wish I could wear my gray hair that well! Looking forward to the new you in your page boy!!!
Your hound dog costume sounds worth doing again! My mother was very inventive. One year she made Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy costumes for my younger sister and her best friend. They were very memorable! An all-time favorite costume was made by the wife of a friend. She came as The Sunday Paper! There were pages made of fabric with photos and articles! I have also seen a most wonderful Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz. He won a cash prize and said he did it so he could carry an oil can filled with wine! Wishing you a Very Happy Halloween with goo trick or treating!
Wow, the Sunday Paper! What a great idea. The Tin Man guy sounds amusing. Yes, I'd happily make that hound dog costume for a child, given the opportunity. When the grandkids were little, I often helped with the costumes. Grandson was once a plate of spaghetti (his mom was the chef, his dad a loaf of bread, his sister a candy mint, and I was the salad). Another time, he was a spider, and I made that costume too. My daughter is great at costume ideas, and making them. I'll tell Maddy you liked her art, I'm so proud of her.
OH would love to have seen the spaghetti family in costume!! How fun! You would have enjoyed knowing my mother. And she you! As the manager of a large Salvation Army second-hand store, she was always coming-up with holiday decorating ideas! Some spooky fisherman in a row boat with swirling mist, was my favorite!
Thank you Kelsey! I'll tell Maddy you like her project. I wish more people could have seen it in real life. And you're right, Sincere Studios is a gem.
How inspirational it is to see the bonding of generations through the love for each other and the love and study of creative art.
I agree. 🥰
Thank you Pam.

Loved reading this! That sewing room recreation is such a cool art project - and Sincere Studios sounds absolutely amazing, I’m jealous!
