I actually don't have pictures ._.
I've never seen pictures of me in the wings.
I just remember what they looked like xD;
Did you celebrate Halloween? They could have been from a costume 8u
It's so weird...I remember sitting in the chapel with the flowers on but I don't remember why...Assuming it was a choir thing but I can't remember.
I remember mostly every other little play we did around that age.
It's like it's behind a locked door and I can't get in >8u
Wtf it's MY memories u8<
Let me in >8u
-kicks door-
I've been buying the recent Wild Knuffel 8u
I need to make one myself...
I think the last one I made was last summer .__.

Oh random LOL, my mom is a tailor too! She usually only makes doll clothes, but when I was a kid she made me some really elaborate halloween costumes hahaha. I remember going as a pokemon one year.
Haha, what a coincidence!
My sister had a lion costume (as in adult Simba, with mane and all), a fairy costume (with wings, no idea how my mom made them, I don't think they were bought) and a goat costume (I believe it was the pet goat of Esmeralda from the Hunchback of Notre Dame). I mostly wanted princess outfits, like Sleeping Beaty, Anastasia, Jasmine, Esmeralda (technically not a princess, oh well XD). But in kindergarten I had a puppy costume, it was adorable
Creative and talented moms are awesome. Makes me feel sorry for my future kids. I can't sew at all, lol.

I just need to inspiration to make one...
I started one recently but I hated the base I was using so I lost interest xD;
My great aunt used to sew and stuff when I was younger.
She made me a couple of vests to wear.
One was based on Noah's Ark so it had a bunch of little animals on it.
I wish I still had that vest...
It might be somewhere.
She's dead now so it would be nice to still have the vest...

Yeaaah I can't really sew either. I guess it's not genetic LOL.
I tried a bunch of times when I was a kid, but I always either jammed up the sewing machine, or the thread fell out and I couldn't figure out how to put it back in. In middle school I successfully sewed 1 (one) dress, and promptly forgot everything I learned apparently, because it was the only thing I ever successfully made.
Awww, I'm sorry to hear about the wings and the vest. I guess the things we lose live on in our memories though. If I could bring back a lost item, it'd probably be these cardboard pokemon books I had as a kid. They were always my favourites, but I think they got sold in a garage sale or something.

Yeahhh I lost everything from my childhood when I cut my parents off. I've been replacing them though. I bought some new versions of books I had as a kid that I loved - second hand from Amazon - so my boy can read them too. You might be able to find those Pokemon books! It won't be exactly the same, but it will still feel wonderful, I can guarantee that haha.
There were two books in particular for me - a board book with flaps where you could find all these hidden mice in all the scenes, and a book about King Arthur with the myths explained in a child-friendly way. I got both of them back now. It felt so amazing to open them and see all the bits I remembered and the bits I'd forgotten but seemed so familiar again. I can't wait until he's old enough for those.
I also fail at sewing 
I made a "skirt" once but..... no way you would go out in public in that XD XD It had a pocket, so I was using it for a bit as a kind of apron while I was trying to sew other stuff, but I got discouraged by how bad I am haha.

I think art runs in my family. So many people in my family are/were artists.
So that's something interesting I've learned u8
I know when I was in third grade, we did these little...patches for our parents.
We had to sew these patches for them and I could not do it.
My teacher had to do most of it xD

I recently found photos of our family trip to Malbork, when my parents were together. It was a nice reminder that it wasn't all bad all of the time and we had some great memories.
I also found a black and white photo of my young parents on a party somewhere. It was refreshing to see them like that.
Needless to say I kept all of these photos.
Both my parents are artistic. They both used to paint and draw (my mom still has dad's painting of a palm tree, he painted it for her), my dad plays the guitar (self taught, is amazing) and my mom always wanted to be a fashion designer. She still has wonderful ideas - did I mention she made me a prom dress? It was gorgeous, I still have it. Oh, and my dad also used to design and make jewelry (he was a jeweler). It's crazy that they didn't accomplish much with so many talents. I guess the times were different. I know for sure my dad would've pursued a musical career if not for my grandpas (yes, both) who told him he'd never make it, let alone make money on it. Knowing what I know about him and his music, for sure he'd be a mothereffing rockstar. Now he's a man with no money in his pocket, with terrible debts and just broken dreams about music
But the same thing goes for my mom. It's sad, really. I hope I can do more in my life.
Wow, that was probably unnecessary to spill all that, lol.

That's cool though Mem. Thinking about what could have been. Maybe it's a message about how we should all go for our dreams and talents instead of wasting them XD

Oh, definitely that's the lesson I learned from their stories. They both regret their lives. It's heartbreaking for me but it's not like I can do anything about it.
That's why I go for my dreams, even if very slowly.
