The other day Emma told me that she is a crab in a class play and we have to make her a costume! For those of you who know me, all of my creativity gets channeled into novels, writing projects, and cooking. I have absolutely no creative zest or zeal or capacity for any sort of sewing project, drawing, or hand craft stuff, or anything that requires manual talent. I just don’t got it.
Rodrigo was trying to think of something he could do to make a crab for the class play. He’s got way more talent than me, but he’s got no time right now. So, Emma brilliantly came up with the idea of Tia Marcela. Ding! We have a winner! Rodrigo’s aunt who can sew anything at the drop of a hat, create her own designs, and figure out how to do it on a budget of next to nothing.
Emma called her, they talked it over and she came to our house on Friday night. Tia Marcela and Emma went to work straight away. I stayed out of the dining room!
I’ll let you know what the end result looks like.
Tell me who your Aunties of Mercy are, and what you need help with when it comes to school projects. I’d love to hear.
Much Love,
Tina
That is much harder that the first grade puppet! I can’t wait to see the results. Emma will make one very cute crab.
You’re not kidding. Will let you know what the final pictures look like!
