Over breakfast this morning, and the din of Boy racing round the house shrieking like a Banshee, Button asked me if I was working today.
Me: No, I’ve got a lovely day of sewing planned.
B: What are you making?
Me: A dress.
B: For me????
Cue big blue eyes and a hopeful expression.
Me: No, sweetie, this one’s for me.
B: But Mummy, you’ve got at least four things in your wardrobe and I have absolutely nothing to wear.
In tone of absolute astonishment and dismay.
I have created a monster!
K-Line says
Oh, this is going to be a problem! 🙂 I do love the perfectly natural entitlement of children. I mean, you already have 4 things. Why would you sew more for yourself??
Evie says
Can you imagine what she’s going to be like when she’s 16??????? Oh, good grief!
I’m obviously the most selfish mother in the world *rolls eyes*
Gail says
Hahahaha! Priceless!!
Evie says
Oh that’s one word for it! 😉
Fiona M says
Awww, how could you??
And little girl dresses are so small and quick to make … 😀
Evie says
I know…I’m a terrible mother! 😉
I do have two pieces of fabric in the wash for her. She’s shamed me into it!
Mother of Reinvention says
Hahah, it only gets worse. Brilliant! 😉 xx
Evie says
Oh don’t tell me that! 😉
Vicki Kate says
Uh oh…
Evie says
I know….
Anne W says
LOL!! 😀 Good luck with that!
Evie says
I need all the luck I can get, I tell you!
Kim Hood says
Shame on you mummy! (Glad I wasn’t drinking when I read this or I would have ruined the computer 🙂 )
Evie says
Hahaha! She’s an absolute scream. Today she was telling me how I’m stuck with her! Little horror!
Sewing princess says
Oh my! A beautiful monster you have there 😉 So funny…it makes you wonder how they come up with such thing at that age! You’d better sew as much for you while you still can… Soon she will be making long lists of dresses you should make for her 😉

She’s a very sharp cookie indeed! I’m going to have my hands full, for sure.
Andrea says
I love this conversation. Spoken like a true girl! You better get her started with sewing so that she can make her own outfits when she’s a teenager otherwise she’ll have you sewing night and day for her 🙂
PendleStitches says
When she was 2 she would comment on people’s shoes and outfits! It was simply adorable and hilarious. I feel sewing lessons coming on for sure!
Chica Andaluza says
How did I miss this post – hysterical, gotta love her 😉
Evie says
She’s a scream, for sure.
