Dionne, I think, tried to post this but it didn't "take", so I am posting it - too cute!

I really haven't made many costumes. A few here and there for a Halloween or two, but even then, not much. So when my son's teacher asked me to come and help sew the class costumes for their Spring Fest, I jumped at the chance.

We all showed up in the pre-school classroom on a Saturday. Only one other mom had a sewing machine and knew how to sew. Our teacher brought one that she had borrowed but after fixing the tension for her numerous times she decided that sewing wasn't for her. I felt bad for her because I know how frustrating it can be when the tension keeps messing up, this was her first time attempting to sew something and I don't think it made a great impression. She also designed the costumes.

So the other mom's cut and glued dots on the frogs (in the interest of time we decided to glue the dots)While we manned the machines and completed frog and polliwog bodies, stitched up bellies and made adorable feet and hands for those frogs that needed them. The polliwogs didn't need hands, and only those children who elected to be polliwogs with feet needed those. --
