Don't we just love.....

Don't we (working mums, and mums in general) just love teachers, who make sure they look after mum's times, and ensure that they are never bored... so, FilleAinee is the main part (that is Mowglie not Baloo) in Jungle Book, end of next week. So the outfit required? a white t-shirt (so that will be the one at the very bottom of the bottomless Summer clothes bag, which has disappeared in the depth of loft, somewhere, probably hosting a few spiders already) (And no - before you say, she can't use her PE top, although I am sure that at last minute that will be fine). School logo on Mowglie won't look tooooooooooo weird. Will it??? and for the bottom part of the outfit: a red or orange short. Where on earth do you find this, during first week of December. I so love those people who come up with such great ideas. And my daughter for wanting to be Mowglie. Cause let's face it - if she Bagheera (but there were not many words! so not worth the part by her standards) or Baloo (he is fat - no way, Mummy - you really really don't understand. Of course not. I am your mother. Not here to understand you - just to try and nring a bit of sanity here - fat chance with me though). Anyway - back to the Bear Necessity. Being Baloo or Bagheera would have made sense - and wearing fur at this time of the year to. And less stressful. But don't we just love challenges.
And the next challenge - TinkerBell needs to be in a Victorian outfit for her Christmas play. And she will then wear it for the rest of the day - for 2 days.
Absolutely brilliant idea, I thought. Until the next thought - where do I find that? and confortable enough that she wants to wear it for 2 days?!!!
So back to the drawing board, and the sewing skills will have to (magically) transform some piece of poor material, which probably hopes to be transformed in something nice, into a Victorian maid. Yes - the hat will be the easiest thing. Or is it the socks?!!
So another challenge ahead... but that's what we like after a week at work, and the prospect of a whole week end of Christmas shopping... actually- all I want for Christmas (to be read with the tune, please!) is someone to do my Christmas shopping. Or is that the Internet? oh, oh, oh!
anyway - enough rambling on stuff - back to design this Victorian outfit...
