I love "Kid 2 Kid"

So, realizing that I was running short on sewing time, I stopped by Kid 2 Kid tonight looking for pieces that would work for Carter's costume. Success! I found the jacket and pants. Then stopped by Ross, Kohl's, and even Halloween City. Nothing. So, the costume is started and manageable. I'll try the DI tomorrow to see if I can finish up.

So, why is it that I feel the need to personally sew Kaylie's costume, but am totally fine with buying Carter's? I don't have an answer. Hmmmm....

Costume

Progress was made on Kaylie's costume. Unfortunately, I think I'm getting a cold. After buying a zipper for her dress, I just wanted to lay on the couch and sleep.

Okay, the truth was that I wanted to watch the end of season one of "24". I was able to sew while listening to "South Pacific" (with Reba MacEntire, Alec Baldwin, and Brian Stokes Mitchell--lovely show, by the way, totally need to buy the soundtrack). But I just couldn't focus on sewing straight lines while trying to listen to "24".

While I'm on the note of musicals, I think that "South Pacific" might be getting close to the top of one of my favorites. I was reminded of how much I liked it last year when the local high school performed it. Brought back lots of memories from watching it in high school way back when. But today, while ironing the last scene was on. Nellie and the kids were singing, and then the kids stop, and Emilie sings, and she turns...and I started balling. They just don't write good stuff like that anymore!
