Siblinghood of the Traveling Pants

Number of View: 302

Growing up as a second daughter, I had to wear a lot of hand-me-downs from my sister. I hated it. I liked girly style, she wore boyish cloths. I vowed at a young age that I will NEVER put hand-me-downs on my kids even they are the same gender.

Well, I have a 4.5 years old son and 17 months old daughter. And I put his cloths on her. Urmmm… I NEED to save money for new stamps. I can’t afford to buy new cloths for my kids, ya know. Heehee.

It’s my daughter on the picture wearing the pants that her brother once wore. I stamped with Palette ink, colored with Copics, and embroidered. Urmmm… She better not spill any foods on it. Hehe.
