Halloween Preview

So, maybe I was up late last night hand sewing a zipper into this costume after I realized I didn't have a zipper foot for my machine. And perhaps I was frantically hand sewing the hem five minutes before it was time to be at the library for trick-or-treating (which, by the way, Z-cakes calls "taking treating"). But the important part is that this little girl is wearing a costume that her mama made. And when she tells people she is Cinderella she curtsies.

And my buttons are bursting.

I am familiar with that kind of stress. I thought I avoided it this year by buying Eva a costume, but it was 10 inches too long!

A looks adorable. Good job, Mama.
