Once upon a decade, I sewed a bunch of Halloween costumes for my kids.
"Practice for prom and wedding gowns," was how I looked at it. "However far in the future that may be."
So naive.
Because - quite suddenly - that day has come. Although not quite prom (yet); I'm working on a homecoming dress this week. Shorter, less formal, no sequins or crazy-expensive fabric. I've realized two things:
One: THIS IS SO MUCH EASIER THAN HALLOWEEN COSTUMES!!!
Two: But I would give almost anything to be making Halloween costumes again.
After all, if time continues to behave in that dastardly manner it has, the wedding gowns will be right around the corner. And I am so not ready for that much change and progress.
But look - here's one thing that hasn't changed in all those left-behind years: I'm still procrastinating by blogging instead of sewing!
