Would your husband do this?

So I haven't figured out how to rotate the below picture even though it is saved on my computer correctly that is why it is the way it is...

I have to agree with my sister when she told me to just buy a $5-$10 Halloween costume for Emeline. Before she said that I didn’t even know I could get one that cheap all the costumes I looked at were $15-$20 at the cheapest. Ross is adamant on his opinion and refuses to buy any Chinese made costume. Ross’ idea was that WE should make a costume. I cannot even believe I entertained the idea especially since I’m not a sewer. I’ve wanted to learn, but haven’t got to it and I don’t think sewing a costume is the way to start. I went to a thrift store and found a Snow White costume, but it is more than 3x too big for Emeline. I got it thinking I could size it down, it would look terrible, but Emeline wouldn’t care. After getting home I got to thinking about it and thought it was too much and I would just save it till Emeline grows into it. I would follow the advice of my sister. Emeline is already excited to dress up as Snow White, but she’ll get over it. When I talked to Ross about this he told me again that he didn’t want a cheapo costume that would fall apart and have toxic chemicals on it he proceeded to tell me that he would sew the dress up himself…. And “sew” he did (I helped with cutting, but it is hard for a lefty to use a rotary cutter made for a righty. At the very end of cutting I had Ross help.)

I literally dusted off my sewing machine that my mom bought me over 4 years ago. We used it once together after getting it and I haven’t used it since. (I want to change that though. I want to make my mom and grandma proud.) As dumb as it sounds I got a little emotional when I was cutting the fabric. I was thinking my mom and grandma were there watching what I was doing probably thinking that I’m crazy. It is times like this when I wish that my mom and grandma were alive and we lived close to them so they could help me with the sewing.  (BTW the sewing job is not good in fact Ross said it looks like a drunk person sewed it, but he did it.)

 

 

On another note as far as my hair growth 2 months after chemo goes my hair is growing fast!! I was able to keep about 1/3 of my hair so there are some areas where it is not as thick as others, but it is filling in!! Its great Emeline notices that my hair is growing just like she noticed when I had very little hair. Throughout chemo I told her that it would grow back, but it would take time. It is wonderful looking in the mirror and noticing that my hair is growing more and more. Not quite like the 1985 movie “The Peanut Butter Solution” which is a good thing (I had not heard of the movie until Ross told me about it. IMDB.com gave it a 6.2 rating which I was surprised I would have given it a 1, maybe.) If I’m lucky I won’t need a wig by 2012.
