International day at school for our little Caleb, he had been counting down the days and I had been wondering what on earth he was going to wear.
After a little thinking and google search we found a picture of a chinese boys costume. I'm thinking I can do this, how hard can it be?? Make a costume from a picture alone? After a few phone calls to mum and a few mistakes I am very proud of this little bit of creativity and how good it feels to challenge yourself...I could of, as a friend put it, 'gone to the Valley and bought one for $2', besides I didn't think of that...mental note ask Jen next time!! Anyway this feels so much better.
The process of creating something from just a thought...bringing it forward and all that it entails gives such delight. I was reading somewhere recently that you know you are in the midst of creativity when you get lost in it and lose concept of time, well I certainly lost a lot of time, but smile when I think how happy he was this day and I'm sure I'll make a few more yet! Do you like his Kung Foo moves he did for show and tell!

You are SO clever Mrs A! And such a great mom. Well done! And the kung fu moves looked very authentic...must get C to teach me how to do it properly sometime!:)xo
Oh Kerrie, this was one extraordinary dress up costume - well done for all your effort and the much deserved delight in the doing! You are such a wonderful mama x M
WOW that is amazing Kerrie, very impressive and he looks so happy.
Well done darling, all your hard work & determination to do a great job made the experience for Caleb such a joyous one.It is very satisfying knowing that you've made this yourself, even though at some time you may find yourself asking the question - there has to be an easier way!!! Love you
