Caterpillars or rainbows? That's my question for today. It is on my mind because when I headed in to Wal-Mart to get a few things, I had caterpillars when I arrived, but, somehow, when I left, my caterpillars had become rainbows. Confused? let me explain. So, my husband blessed me with a trip to Wal-Mart sans kids. I know the moms out there understand the freedom and glory that lies in that store when you are there alone...you wander the aisles, ALL the aisles, pick up things you need, things you don't need, and things you might need some day (zebra ribbon for me this day). And...you (or maybe just me) think, "hmmm, I REALLY need to get my eyebrows waxed (they were beginning to look a little too caterpillar-y)...maybe I'll just get them done here while I don't have kids with me; afterall, an eyebrow wax is an eyebrow wax, right?" So, I checked out and headed to the front of the store where the "stylist" was even kind enough to let me park my cart IN the salon. She then led me to the sink where the caterpillar metamorphosis began. She waxed, and plucked, and waxed, and trimmed (this was a first!), and waxed, and plucked some more. She worked on my eyebrows till my lower back ached and the back of my head was asleep (from resting on the sink). Finally, she said, "looks good!", and handed me the mirror. I gasped...my caterpillars had become rainbows--perfect half circles that are the same thickness from one side to the other. Sure, rainbows are great...but not on your face...unless you're a clown. Sooo, on the way home I periodically checked in the rearview mirror hoping that perhaps it wasn't really that bad, that maybe the redness was just accentuating the rainbows, and decided to see what my dear Brandon would say when I got home. Well, I walked in and he snickered and exclaimed that it wasn't really that bad, that I "just look surprised", followed by more giggles. Sweet, sweet man. Sooo, the moral of the story, DON'T let a kidless afternoon at Wal-Mart lead you to the salon to have your eyebrows waxed by a girl with purple hair who is chatting with the transvestite hairdresser in the next booth...unless, that is, you're okay with trading caterpillars for rainbows. :)
Can I say that this might just be my new favorite project! I absolutely love these little reversible pinafores! They're seasonless because they can be worn alone or with a tee underneath and if one side gets dirty, you just flip it over. Awesome! This is the back of the pinafore and it can be reversed to be the same black and white pattern as the bloomers. I decided that since we, sadly, still have a while till spring, I would go ahead and make the bloomers ankle length. I promise they're cuter than MC Hammer's! I also plan to add some other fun cooridinating fabric ruffles to the bum (shouldn't every baby girl have ruffles on her squishy bum!), but I began having issues with my sewing machine...or maybe, more likely, my machine began having issues with me. Long story short, we're going to have to seek professional help (Singer Store, here we come) before we have a fluffy fanny. :)
