I think that I did the unthinkable. I
have never in my life been cool, nor have I attempted to be. After all I am a math teacher! However, I do pride myself on not being one of those geeky moms who dresses the same as her children, or ensure matching outfits for family photo shoots (no offense to those who do!).
So, call it insanity, or call it thrifty, my most recent endeavour is shocking even to me.
Last weekend I painted the kids bathroom yellow. It was looking drab and boring, and I had patched a bunch of holes, so it was time for a new, clean look. The yellow brightened it up, and with a cute little owl theme, it looks like a cute kids bathroom. However, when I finished sewing the window toppers, I had a bunch of extra material, and goodness knows you can't let perfectly cute material go to waste. What better to make with leftover curtain material?...apparently a dress for Nahla! And, if that weren't bad enough, her dolly got a new dress out of it too!
For those of you who know me well, you are currently shaking your head, and feeling uncertain whether to be worried about my mental hearlth or laugh your ass off, but it is true, I can't take it back, and Nahla loves her new dress!!!!
With that said, I had to redeem myself a little bit, so when I finished, I built the kids a fort in the trees in our backyard. Nahla has taken to climbing trees and both kids love to play outside, so with some string, an old tarp and the kids play centre, I put together a "tree fort". Now this is definitely more my style!
