Hey Cisco!....Hey Poncho!
The Bosnian orphan will wear nothing warm over her chosen uniform but a size 1 baby poncho that belonged to her cousins. It barely keeps her neck warm.
We dug around in the vortex of the black hole under the house and found old polar fleece I had begun to make into jumpers for the thirteen year olds when they were not yet one year olds. I was busy!
We chopped out a neck hole and ruled some lines to cut some cheat's fringing.
It's colourful, right? Does the job? Matches the eclectic nature of the Short one's taste, albeit more Mexican orphan now?
It got about fifteen minutes of wear before it became a blanket in the consumption ward of her dolls' hospital bedroom. Even the dollies have the lurgy now.
Looks like the crafty mojo-hito was short lived.
Hello you!
ReplyDeleteWould you believe yesterday I chopped a poncho from some crappy khaki cotton I had lying about ... I had to create in less-than-five minutes a Jesus' disciple costume. The tween said it looked like rubbish. I said 'We're talking poor fishermen cira 33AD who would be grateful for spun cotton with an Irish linen tie. So get over it."
Love a Mexican orphan. Glad to read you again.
The girl's got style!
ReplyDeleteToo funny! Shortie is so cute.
ReplyDeleteI blame the bad influence of Sam and Ruthy Noah.
ReplyDeleteIs nothing sacred?
Can you imagine the 13 year olds wearing those colours! Oh no no no, it was truly meant for Shorty, a bigger frill perhaps? I bet she is good to cuddle in it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to the Big Fella for tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteSo often it's the labels on your posts that have me screaming with laughter. Are there many Mexican orphans in your part of QL? At least the one pictured has a loving home ;D
ReplyDeleteNow my Bosnian wants to be a Mexican too. With fairy wings tho.
