"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Rainbows

Last week I finished the rainbow costumes.  Sewing seven "petals" for eight costumes took me a while.... so I was glad to be done with this one.  I also wasted quite a few matches burning the ends of the ribbons.  Now I only have the bluebirds left to do.

Jamie, these costumes are simply amazing! You are quite the seamstress ballet teacher aren't you! These ones are my favorite!

you are so talented my lady - these are absolutely beautiful! Puts to shame the Columbian costumes I'm helping coordinate at the kids school. I don't sew - but when I see projects like yours I wish I did!

Jamie, these are great! You aren't leaving any room for complaint about lessons at home for your girls. So cute!

I can't believe that you find time to sew these costumes...MUCH LESS THE PATIENCE!

I don't EVER want to hear you talking about not having PATIENCE!!!!

AMAZING!!! Loved them!...the girls AND the costumes!
